Gliding Scholarship

I first started my gliding scholarship at 613 VGS (RAF Halton) in November 2009; by February 2010 I had gone solo in a Grob 109. After doing so I went through a 3-4 week “transition” period where they determined whether or not I was eligible for becoming a staff cadet, whereupon I would be allowed to do my Gold Wings.
By September 2010 I started my Gold Wings course, after going through a rigorous training session where they determined my strengths & weaknesses in the aircraft. I have so far only done a few flights towards my Gold Wings, but with the better weather we are hoping for more flight time.
