In order to fly solo at the club we require that members complete the BMFA A certificate test.
This is nothing to worry about and is simply a demonstration of basic flying proficiency and knowledge of the main regulatory constraints on our hobby.
To assist with this club offers a training capability for new and existing members on a volunteer basis.
Our main training times are Wednesday evenings and Sunday Mornings.
We base our training around the guidance given in the BMFA Flying Start document. Please take the time to read and understand this document.
