Cabair Modular Flight Training Offer

News for MAY 2008
Cabair Modular which has it's headquarters at the European Pilot Training Academy at Bournemouth is offering free aircraft hire to those Cabair Modular students unfortunate enough not to pass their CPL Skills Test first time. While we are totally confident in the quality of our training and expect you to pass first time with flying colours, we appreciate some may have a retake or partial.

Should this be the case, we will not charge you aircraft hire for that first (and hopefully last) retake or partial.

Furthermore, should you pass your CPL Skills Test first time - as we hope you do - we will happily roll the offer over to your IR.

So, provided to do your CPL with us and pass first time, we will offer the same terms for your IR: if you don't pass first time and need a retake or partial, we cover the cost of the aircraft hire for the first retake/partial.

This offer is open to students at both EPTA Bournemouth and Wycombe Air Centre, and is in addition to any other discount schemes which may be inforce at eiother of these training centres - so book up your CPLs now!

The Wycombe Flyers is open to all club members and students.

We plan to make regular trips and fly-ins. Whether you’ve had your licence longer than you care to remember or whether you’re still learning navigation it’s great to fly to new places and to share the experience with fellow club members.

We had three fly outs in 2007.

Yeovilton
A tour enjoyed by all. Not the best of weather, so there was an IMC or IR rated pilot in all four Wycombe aircraft that departed for the Fleet Air Arm Museum.

Cosford
The early morning mist cleared to a glorious summer day. Four aircraft made the trip to visit the new Cold War Museum.

Bruntingthorpe
The week after the Vulcan’s first flight we were privileged to be able to visit Bruntingthorpe. Many club members will remember flying past this airfield on their qualifying cross country flights. But very few people have landed there. It’s a very busy motor industry test facility and is only available on a strict PPR basis. We teamed up with the IBM flying club and a total of 14 aircraft made the visit. We had a most interesting briefing from Chief Engineer Andrew Edmondson and were able to closely inspect XH558 in her hangar. It’s a fascinating story – see for yourself on www.tvoc.co.uk

We’re open to suggestions for 2008. If you have any personal contacts who can open doors for us, then please let Kevin Duthie know …

Suggestions so far – no promises as we haven’t checked them out with the airfield operators yet:

Lundy Island (Farm Strip in the Bristol Channel)
Wroughton (Imperial War Museum)
Chalgrove (Martin Baker)
Brimpton (Autumn Fly-In)
Gliding (Either at Wycombe or at Weston on the Green near Bicester.)

Let us know your e-mail address so you can be added to the weekly touring group mailing list. Details of forthcoming trips will also be posted on the Touring Group notice board.
