THE AIRCRAFT
Meet the Aurora.
Registration 23-7061 — a Starair SA60L Aurora, and the aircraft you'll spend nearly every hour of your training in, from first trial flight to Pilot Certificate.
Registration 23-7061 — a Starair SA60L Aurora, and the aircraft you'll spend nearly every hour of your training in, from first trial flight to Pilot Certificate.
Modern electronic flight instruments — the same glass-panel experience you'll find in current general aviation aircraft, not steam gauges. Every moment of your flight is recorded, analysed, and available for review in your own student records.
Full GPS navigation coupled to a 3-axis autopilot — the same technology you'll fly with well beyond your Pilot Certificate.
Full situational awareness of surrounding traffic, and a clear picture for both student and instructor throughout every flight.
Every seat, every flight — no dodgy old headsets, ever.
The Aurora's nose attitude and handling take a little getting used to if you've flown elsewhere — which is exactly why we take converting pilots up first before signing off on solo hire. Once you're comfortable, it's an honest, responsive aircraft that rewards good technique.
Maintained by Licensed Aircraft Engineers, inspected daily, with a 50-hour oil change and 100-hour service cycle kept strictly on schedule.
Engine switch, for certified pilots hiring solo.
