There are many who say precautions are unnecessary and we should just “carry on as before”.

As an Approved Training Organisation we must take every precaution to maintain the safety of Pilots, Students and Staff. Before dismissing these, please think very carefully about the already 47,000+ who have died in the last few months.

 Are you making this worse?

Medicals

Our local Medical Examiner for Pilots (Dr Ian McKenzie) informs us :

Dear All - Just to let you know the CAA has given us permission to start seeing pilots again so we are restarting our clinics.  Book in the normal way.

Regards, Dr Ian Mckenzie - www.machmed.co.uk

Trial Lesson Experience Vouchers  

Lydd Aero Club Vouchers are valid for 6 months but the Club intends to honour all valid vouchers by extending their validity for the period of the current lock-down - now nearly 5 months. Vouchers are still being sold via the website and issued by email if you want one as a present or even yourself. NOTE - still at last years prices but will have to go up soon.

Vouchers issued by Acorne/Virgin can only be extended by that company and holders of those vouchers should contact that company if an extension is required.

We started Trial Lesson Experiences on 1st September for one-to-one lessons, that is Student and Instructor. Observer/Passengers on these flights are not allowed yet. Details on next button.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Headsets will no longer be available for loan for the foreseeable future. Trial Lessons will use one set which will be specially sanitised after each use as will the aircraft. PPL students may want to buy their own new sets. We can order via a catalogue choice if you wish.

Face masks and gloves. You must bring and wear a face-covering for use whilst in the aircraft for any training. Gloves are recommended but optional. Face masks REQUIRED throughout the airport buildings.
