Independent Pilot Course FAQs
The course develops consistent self-managed flying at suitable sites, including weather interpretation, site assessment, flight planning, active piloting, approaches, landings and responsible decision-making.
Applicants should hold the prerequisite training level and provide an accurate logbook showing recent relevant flights. The instructor reviews currency and may recommend refresher practice before advanced tasks.
The program builds skills that support later progression, but independent-pilot certification is not automatically a full cross-country qualification. XC coaching has separate prerequisites, weather needs and learning objectives.
Equipment advice can be provided using your certified level, weight range, experience and intended flying. Students should avoid choosing a wing only by price or performance category.
