The objective of this course is to introduce the non-flying member of the family/friend to flying an airplane. We discuss the possibility of the pilot becoming incapacitated while in flight and the need for the non-pilot to take control of the airplane. When the non-pilot is well-versed in the operation of the aircraft, it enhances safety as well as increases the enjoyment of flight. Some of the topics we will cover include: basic aerodynamics, aircraft instruments and parts, basic navigation and chart reading, checklists, radio usage and communications, GPS usage, traffic patterns and landing, and emergency procedures. While this is normally an all-day course, this one will be 2 hours long. Great to get your feet wet!! And what a better place than Critters Lodge with lots of aircraft to see and discuss... Hope to see you there! However, space is limited. FMI and to RSVP, please visit www.houstonpinchhitter.weebly.com
