An introduction to Aerobility
Lydd Aero Club Instructors were introduced to Aerobility flying today. Here, in the comfort of the clubroom they were shown how to use the hoist which may be necessary for some students on this course. The instructors later undertook training in the use off the hand controller in Aerobility’s own aircraft.
Later in the day our first client, Anne-Marie took the first Aerobility flight with the Club.

Another student completes their Qualifying Cross Country flight test. The QXC is a flight of not less that 150Nmiles with three landings, two of which at alternative airports, often this will be Southend and Shoreham. The qualifier this time is David Doe who, like many this year has been seriously delayed by the incessant poor weather. Seen here with Instructor Andy, David now needs to complete his flying hours and the final Skills Test.
Well done David. Not long to that PPL!

Only a few weeks after completing his Qualifying Cross Country, Josh Knell has gone on to complete both his Thoeretical Exams and his final Practical Skills Test to join the ranks of Private Pilot.
Seen here with examiner Gary, looking justifiably pleased after the test, Josh gave thanks for all the support and training from instructor Dianne and the rest of the Lydd Aero Club team.
Another “Well done Josh” on the successful completion of your PPL course leading to your Private Pilots Licence.

First for 2024!
As the whole country sinks under endless flooding one budding pilot took to the skies to complete his Qualifying Cross Country test. This is a flight of at least 150 Nautical Miles with 2 landings at different airports and return to Lydd.
Seen here being congratulated on the latest stage in Josh Knell’s training for his PPL is Instructor Dianne.
