I think this course looks to be one of the better I have seen.
I've produced my own safety 'course' for anyone who flies with me on a regular basis, and the Fenland course seems likely to cover the requirements which are:
- retain control of the aircraft
- know how to call for help
- be able to follow instructions
One of the things I train my regular passengers to do in the event of my incapacitation is to fly between two points along a line feature, turing right at each end point while they call for help. What does the forum think if this as an idea? My rationale is that:
- it is relatively easy to do
- it stops them moving out of radio range of the station I was last talking to
- it stops them entering controlled airspace (probably)
- it makes them easier to find and identify
My 'course' includes how to change radio frequencies and how to set 7700 on the transponder.
