| Juan Gerrits with Christophe Roelofse (Instructor) |
Juan is the first South Africa pilot (as a Part 62 NPL holder with LSA and CCM) – to qualify for the Category: Touring Motor Glider (TMG). Christophe Roelofse the resident TMG Grade A instructor at LSAT CC Rhino Park (East of PTA) put Juan through the paces. Juan completed the requirements for the Part 62 / subpart 17 TMG and subsequently RAASA awarded the category to his NPL. Obviously the most exciting was the cross country – 25 km out and back, with engine off final glide, circuit and landing. Thermalling is not flying in circles. He says “ I have learned some new techniques and flying TMG certainly vividly demonstrated good flying aptitude, principals which I will definitely incorporate in my general flying”. “… everyone should do this ..!”
Yet again a record for LSAT cc, having been the first ATO in SA approved for TMG training under the new CARS2011 for Part 62 / subpart 17 TMG, under the guidance of Christophe Roelofse, first Gr A instructor – signing off the first in SA - Part61 PPL/CPL, the first NPL and already the first NPL/TMG SPL underway.
The training syllabus developed by PASASA and CAA endorsed is a “best practice method” and insures excellent quality training.
