A pre-solo written exam will be given to you, with a minimum score of 80% being required to fly. You will receive your ground training, and dual flight instruction in my Infinity Powered Parachute. Once we are comfortable with your flying skills, you will have the option to use my Infinity PPC to solo, or your own. The cost for your ground school, dual flight instruction,materials, and student registration into ASC is $450 (effective April 1, 2004) This slight price increase is to cover the new 257 page training manual and PPC guide. Hard copies or Interactive CD's are provided.
Taxi and ground handling manuvers
Proper canopy inflation and line checks
1 hour dual instruction in my vehicle
The student is put in the front seat during pre-solo training. With my Infinity Powered Parachute I have all the controls for flight in both the front and rear seat. You will learn to take off and land with me in the rear seat coaching you on the controls. If for any reason I need to take over during a take off or landing during our training flights, you can relax knowing I'm also on the controls. We will practice like this until YOU & I are comfortable with your skill level, and then you will be ready to solo the plane.
This is something you won't find with other flight training or models of Powered Parachutes.
Is proper training important ?
I certainly think so !
What does my Solo Flight Training Include from Executive Sky Sports LLC ?
OK, I have soloed a Powered Parachute, what happens next?
Once you have soloed a PPC, you will receive a Log Book Endorsement from me your BFI, that will entitle you to fly under my supervision and under my FAA Exemption #6080 for a period of 90 days. During this time, you will be required to log your flight hours, while studying the Fundimentals of Instruction (FOI) section included in your Flight Manual. Once you have logged 13 flight hours, and have a good understanding of the FOI, we will begin our pre-Sport Pilot work that should normally take 2 or 3 hours of ground and flight review. Once I am comfortable with your understanding of the FOI and Flight Manuvers, we will select a AFI (advanced flight instructor) for your final check ride and written exam on what you have learned during this time. Once you pass this written exam and practical (test flight) with the AFI, you will be given your Sport Pilot rating. For additional information on the new Sport Pilot rating System go to www.FAA.GOV
