At
Phoenix Aero Club we host flying competitions which include
mini-navigation
exercises which are organised in
the training area (so that GFPT
holders can participate) . A variety of other competitions
are held throughout the year including landing competitions
and the instructors can throw in a surprise competition
which
is lots of
fun.
Every
second month we have fly-aways to an airport in a one
to two hour range
from Camden. These provide a great
alternative
to the Camden circuit and training area and it
is possible for a student to fly in the company of an
instructor
and
experience the delights of flying cross-country and
landing at a different
location. For others, back seat navigation helps to
sharpen the skills. Lunch is organised and enjoyed at
our destination
and then it is time to return to our aircraft, swap
seats and set course for Camden. Further details
are available
from Greg
Cox.
Aircraft
can be hired by members for longer fly-aways including
overnight stays - for
details contact
CFI.
