Our Curriculum

We train after The Ultralight Pilot’s Flight Training Manual, written by Curtis Hughes and published by the United States Ultralight Association, Inc. (USUA).

We have taken this manual and adapted it to our training environment and Philippine regulations.

Training room

The full training course includes at least 30 flying hours.

Those 30 hours must include a minimum of 10 hours dual and 10 hours solo. There is no formal separate ground school; the ground school is conducted in conjunction with the actual flight instruction.

You must pass a written test and physical excamintation before flying solo. There is no maximum time to complete the course. We allow our members to set their own pace.

Already a pilot? Most current general avaition pilots need one to three hours of instruction before a check ride. Please bring your log book, pilot license and medical certificate.

Testing Schedule

PHASE CHECKS: Each student receives periodic phase tests. You will have to show how you have progressed, but to a different instructor. This will uncover any weaknesses that the regular instructor may have overlooked.

Check rides, phase checks, annual flight checks are administered by Angeles City Flying Club- designated flight evaluators.

WRITTEN TESTING: The written test is given before the first solo flight. You must receive a satisfactory score (70%) before your first solo flight.

CHECK RIDES: When you have flown a minimum of 30 total hours (of which a least 10 hours dual and 10 hours solo) and the instructor feels that you are ready you do your final check ride.

An examiner pilot will fly with you to evaluate your skills. If you pass you get your "Sport Pilot Licence".
