Display flying

A lot to take on board Mr Lee, but certainly comprehensively addresses the issue.

BUT. If 60 degrees of bank is a limit, how do we legally teach the 'Max Rate' turn at around 65 to 70 degree bank angle? An exercise which I feel offers scope for advanced handling appreciation to suitably aware student pilots.

To answer the Display Manual item ... I am already up to display manoeuvre No 7 out of the total of 17 I have available.

But offering a display course ... that's a different ketle of fish and I'm not at all sure of the legality of that! I have raised the matter with GAD display staff and in essence they are supportive, but only once they have examined my proposed manual.

The next problem is charge ... what would a prospective DA expect to pay for say ... a ten hour course over a four/five day period?

In fact I am currently teaching my very first pilot (ex Pitts fixed wing) and to be honest, I'm using her to learn as I go along!

All input more than welcomed.

Take care all,

Dennis Kenyon.
