Trip to Halfpenny green

A big thanks to Malcolm Lasson who this weekend, Jan 28/29, gave BGFC members advanced Instrument Training in the simulator at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport.
Chris Morris, John Scott, Gill Stewart and Paul and Sally Turner were booked in over the two days.

The simulator used for the session is an extremely sophisticated piece of kit, apparently costing originally around 1/2million euros.

The photo shows Chris, ‘calmly’ flying the Coventry 23 ILS approach, while being closely monitored and mentored by Malcolm.

Chris commented ‘It was a superb session. Malcolm’s calm, relaxed but very precise instructional style made it not only very valuable but also a lot of fun. I’d seriously recommend this to any Bidford pilots wishing to brush up on their instrument flying’.

It might be possible to arrange further sessions in future if enough BGFC pilots express an interest.
