East Anglia Area
Cordially invite
All Area and Club Examiners, Instructors and potential Test Candidates
to a
Fixed Wing 'A' and 'B' Examiner/Instructor Workshop
Kindly hosted by South Norfolk Model Flying Club
on Sunday 11th May, commencing at 10 am
The site is located just off the A11 between Attleborough and Wymondham in Norfolk and is on the B1172 just behind Hulabaloos Play Barn NR18 9SJ
The Workshop is being held in support of the Achievement Scheme and is designed to help to improve consistency.
The purpose is to allow Examiners, Instructors and Pilots the opportunity to gain experience, share information and discuss the requirements of the Fixed Wing 'A' and 'B' tests in a relaxed and informal environment. Delegates will be asked to 'score' the aspects of the mock tests, being pre-flight checks, from the pits to the take-off point, all of the elements of the flight, the retrieval and the post-flight checks, following which there will be a group critique of the test including the Demonstration Pilot.
Refreshments and barbecue will be running from about 10.30 until we run out of food.
For further details, contact the Event Organiser, Phil Gutteridge, East Anglia Achievement Scheme Co-Ordinator on 07810 547 406
