Advanced PPL Training - Ultimate High "Basic Wings"
The basic PPL clears new pilots to captain an aeroplane with passengers only at the most rudimentary level of skill. Many PPL graduates feel they would benefit from improving their skills in a number of key areas, primarily:
Captaincy
Airmanship
Decision-making under pressure
Operating at the boundaries of the flight envelope
Navigation through controlled airspace
The ability to deal with individual and/or multiple emergencies
We have introduced Ultimate High's Advanced PPL training specifically as a result of the demand for our experienced instructor pilots to provide this training. Merging the best features of military and civilian training, the APPL graduates will have improved airborne awareness and superior decision making skills.
Flying is available by the hour, or as a 5 or 10 hour course as required. This includes up to 1.5 hours of ground briefing (pre- and post-flight) per flying hour - eg our 10 hour course includes 15 hours of ground training.
