Cobalt Aviation

The PPL is great because it allows you to fly with as many passengers as you aeroplane can hold; however, flying a fully-loaded aeroplane feels a lot different than flying with just you and an instructor on board. Learn how to handle a fully-loaded aeroplane comfortably and safely with one of our instructors in our Full-Load Checkout. This checkout is mandatory for renters who plan on carrying more than one passenger.

PREREQUISITES FOR ENROLLMENT

To complete the Full-Load Checkout, you must be at least 17 years of age, hold a valid Category 3 Medical Certificate or higher and hold a valid PPL.

The Full-Load Checkout is an approximately one hour flight. The flight will include both an upper air review to practice stall recoveries and other flight manoeuvres, and several circuits to practice takeoffs and landings at near gross weight.

COSTS

1 Hours Dual (@$175/hr)1 $175
