Learning to fly in Europe?
Chris, that's exactly what I was asking and you've been very helpful.
Thanks. At 16:25 17 July 2008, Chris Reed wrote: Justin Fielding wrote: My local club would be the Kent Gliding Club. I did email them regarding courses a few months ago but they never got back to me. I have had a gliding experience day with them a few years ago which I really enjoyed. They predominantly use winch launches and K21's for training. Justin, I think what you were really asking was, "Will any foreign gliding course count towards the UK licence requirements?". The answer is yes because there *are* no UK licence requirements - you are sent solo when you are ready, whether you've flown 5 hours or 500, and the only hours requirement is before you can gain your Bronze certificate - this is some way ahead, and in any event it's solo hours that count, not training hours. Don't forget to keep a record of your foreign flying, ideally signed off by the instructor, and paste it into your UK log book when you get one. Your UK instructor will want to see what you did, and any good experience will be part of your training, never fear. |
