Hi everyone,

It is a bit wet out there but we are looking ahead to some fine days returning.This month we have appointed Andrew Stent to a new role of full time Club instructor working Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.  He will be working under Club CFI Max Dixon who continues to steer things on the weekends.  We will be trialling this new role for the month of January. If it is successful the Committee will consider making this role a permanent position.  So if you need a sign out or to arrange some dual instruction,  Andrew is the first point of call mid week. For bookings he can be reached on the Club office Ph 06  8798466 or his mobile 027 347 7806. Andrew is a CPL/C Cat and has been instructing part time on weekends for the Club in recent months.Our Air HB instructors are still there as back up for Andrew mid week and to help with specialised elements such as Mountain flying requirements. Vicki Marlow will be covering the Mtn flying.With this new role we want to try and provide an opportunity for Club students to complete their entire PPL training with just 1-2 instructors to provide a more personal one on one path to PPL.  Andrew will also be available for morning and evening flights/instruction to take advantage of those fine early mornings and late summer evenings. Just call Andrew to organise this in advance.

Cheers

Bruce Govenlock

President
