Congratulations to our Director, Kay Herbert on passing her final Helicopter pilots theory exam. Kay is the owner of Global FLT but in her spare time likes to fly helicopters. Once she had got the bug she decided to take her Private Pilots Licence. The practical side of flying the Robinson R22 helicopter is fairly straightforward and Kay soon mastered the basics, including auto rotation which is where the engine is switched off whilst you are airborne and you have to control the helicopter and land it safely without engine power….. don’t panic!!
The most difficult part of getting the private pilots licence is all the theory side, there are nine exams that must be undertaken, and passed:
Air Law
Aircraft General Knowledge
Flight Planning & Performance
Human Performance & Limitations
Meteorology
Navigation
Operational Procedures
Principles of Flight
Communications
Well done Kay, we are very proud of you. It cannot be easy to fit all of this studying in whilst running the company, carrying out training courses and also being a full time mum. I wonder what your next challenge will be?
Are you interested in becoming an RTITB Instructor on forklifts and other types of manual handling equipment? We run an Instructors course every month at our training centre in Gloucestershire. It is a ten day course for complete beginners, we also run five and three day re-registration courses for existing instructors who want to renew their entitlement. Once you have successfully passed the theory and practical examinations the RTITB will enrol you onto the instructors database and you are then able to carry out fully accredited training courses. You could offer your services to a local company on a sub-contract or employed basis and earn up to £500 a day. Why not start your own business? The start up costs are minimal and the overheads are very low, build up a portfolio of suitable contracts and suit yourself when and where you work. Contact the office and speak to Ken or Amy to get further details or to book a place on one of the courses. Check the dates for forthcoming courses. https://globalflt.com/instructor-course-dates/
