23rd Jan David Tew Tephigrams: What they can tell us
David will be giving us a thorough and detailed look at Tephigrams, how they are generated, what the lines mean, their basic interpretation and what they can be used to predict about the flying day ahead. Bring a notepad, pencil and some Ibuprofen, as this is packed full and fast moving.
6th Feb Keith Wilson – professional aviation photographer
Keith will give us a spectacular presentation of his work. He has been before, it is really good stuff and this is his latest and freshest material ….
20th Feb Finn Sleigh From Ab Initio to the Junior Worlds
CGC’s own Finn Sleigh describes his personal journey from first flights via the highs and lows of an intensive training program to a silver podium position in the Junior Worlds last year.
5th Mar Sharing the airspace around RAF Lakenheath
USAF operational staff from Lakenheath Approach will describe what they get up to and what we need to be aware of. Previous visits have shown that this can be a mutual opportunity. Essential viewing if you fly close to the places they do. And that’s most of us, by the way.
19th Mar An introduction to Nav aids and conspicuity devices
By request a talk for early solo pilots on modern navigational aids of varying cost and complexity, and of conspicuity devices such as Flarm. Lecturer TBD.
2nd Apr Now We Are Silver
A panel of middle experienced CGC pilots will take us on their journeys from silver and through uncharted waters beyond the main training syllabus to being an established and self-motivated pilot.
