Formation Clinic - Few slots available.

[N18RA]

What is the policy on someone coming to the formation clinic just to learn, even though I don't have my plane done yet. I will go through the school when i get my plane done but, i think it would be interesting to see what it is like and get the basics??

How much of it is on the ground and in the air?? 50/50?? 70/30??

We do require dual stick, rudder, PTT and throttle. If you are not inclined to add those features, the best alternative is to borrow someone else's -8 for a day.

We start the clinic off with about three hours of ground school on Friday night. Saturday and Sunday is all flying, but you would be able to ride in the right/back seat with an experienced pilot all day. I think you would learn a LOT. Please join the Yahoo Group for more information. If you like what you see I urge you to sign up.

I just got a look at the forecast for the formation clinic weekend (Nov 12-14): Clear skies and temperatures in the upper 60's. We have just a few slots available, so there is still a chance to sign up.

If you have ever wondered what formation flying is all about, this is your chance to find out. Training is structured to your abilities, from beginner to advanced. Beginners start by observing from the right or back seat with an exprienced formation instructor in command. Then we put that instructor in your airplane. Once you feel comfortable and we are satisfied that you can safely fly in close proximity to other aircraft we will clear you for solo flight, still under the watchful eye of an experienced flight leader.

Come join the fun!
