Course content
Participants who complete the theory and practical training take a written exam. Participants who fail the practical training are removed from the course, with the reasons recorded.
The pass mark is 75%. Participants who fail the written exam can ask for one day to prepare and then retake it, orally and in writing. Exam results are entered on the participant’s record sheet.
Certificate requirements
Students are prepared for all flying conditions within limits and are expected to look after their own safety and the safety of other pilots.
At this stage each student flies at least 90 km in straight-line distance, in no fewer than 2 and no more than 4 flights; flights under 15 km do not count. For example, a student who flies 90 km or more in one flight must make one more flight of at least 15 km.
A distance flight cannot be a single glide from take-off. All flights must be recorded by GPS.
