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
Training (Subject to any new lock-downs by H.M. Government)
We are now taking all Students including beginners. Trial Lesson Experiences - See above
We have adopted a system of one duty instructor per day, as noted in first column of bookings system:
https://www.supersaas.com/schedule/lac_bookings/Aircraft_Reservations
when the duty instructor is completely booked for the day we have the option of asking a second instructor or examiner to attend. This it to reduce footfall to a minimum and ensure social distancing throughout. Please follow the direction signs, requirement of masks and social distancing requirement.
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.
Everyone read this CAA advice - Back to flying
Trial Lesson Experience Vouchers
Lydd Aero Club Vouchers are normally valid for 6 months but the Club intends to honour all valid vouchers by extending their validity to cover periods of “lock-down”. 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.
