Dear Bird Doo,
I do not have gotten the pleasure to meet you during your visit in Langkawi. A South African… I should have noticed…or maybe this address is just a wrong direction …
LATC is a starting business and as all starting businesses, some difficulties must be overcome.
1) Yes, we have gotten some issues in the delivery of the TB10s.
2) We do not need a big fleet and a lot of hyper-qualified instructors until this summer: only one batch at a time on the Flying side and only preparing the PPL…. After it is another story
4 Flight Instructors with CPL/IR and frozen ATPL (With 2000 instructional hours or more) are in the recruitment pipe line and the recruitment is on going.
3) The first month we have gotten some issues with the Immigration procedures and the arrival of the “Groundies” has been delayed..
4) The CGI is a former JAR Instructor recognised by UK-CAA, he has taught Irish and English cadets without any understanding problems (Working in UK and for BAE systems!)…
Best Regards
