Latest News and next Human Factors course 13th February

14-Jan-10 -12:53- By: jillbailey Filed in:

Well, Christmas and New Years Eve are well and truly over and we are starting to settle back into our routines.

We are planning another human factors course on Saturday 13th February, with the course running along the same lines as last time. Beginning at 9.00am with a break for lunch and continuing until 3.00pm, the course costs $25 including lunch and will give attendees the required pass in Human Factors for their RA-Aus licences.

New students include Emma Turner, daughter of Junee local and club member Roger Turner, along with Peter Halls of Sydney. Other activities include Paul Westman dusting off his gliding instructor rating to begin the process of converting to an RA-Aus instructor rating, along with Paul spending a weekend up at Bathurst recently to complete his Glider Towing endorsement.

Congratulations also go to Cootamundra local Scott Sharman who recently completed his PPL under Graham White.

We also recently enjoyed hosting two visitors passing through picking cherries at Young. Shane Kerrigan enjoyed flying the Sierra having received his RA-Aus Certificate at Shepparton Vic in Tecnam Echo’s (We know which aircraft he likes better!). His partner Danielle Labinsky began her flying training here at Temora and enjoyed the experience immensely. Shane and Danielle attended Greg and Ingrid Wootton’s New Years Eve party along with airport residents, locals and family and all enjoyed another of Captain Kaos’s amazing spit roasts.
A number of glider pilots also recently enjoyed flights in the Sierra’s, including Peter Fox, Margaret Struthers and Mal Williams, while local resident Leonie Weir recently enjoyed a half hour trial flight . Leonie’s sister won the trial flight in a local raffle supporting TEM-FM and kindly donated the flight to her sister. Leonie was heard to comment after the flight that she wished it had been a longer flight she enjoyed it so much!
Safe flying until next time, Jill
