Description
Using the experience gained by over 23 years as a military Flying Instructor, Gary and Draig Aviation can prepare you for life as a trainee pilot in the ADF.
Draig doesn’t claim to be able to guarantee a pass at the Basic Pilots Course, but the ex-military instructors who fly for Draig Aviation can equip you with the real skills appreciated by Military QFI who will train you.
With Draig Aviation Services, you will attend a 4-day course. You will have an introduction with ex-serving military pilots, and operational veterans holding the defence force qualifications and possessing the operational experience you hope to one day achieve yourself.
You learn a bit about life as an ADF pilot, you’ll learn a bit about yourself as our staff guides you through several set-piece practical and theory exercises all designed to place you within the mindset of successful ADF Pilot candidates.
You will fly with qualified Draig Aviation ex-military instructors, who will offer you the experience of a standard ADF Basic Pilots mission profile, using the same training methods standardized by the ADF for the past 60 years, methods employed by Military QFI’s at ADF 1FTS East Sale to this date.
With tutorials, preparation training, and formal mass briefs, you will see the importance of recognizing each training cue as you form the mindset needed for success.
At the end of the 4-day experience, you’ll receive no formal recognition, no achievement awards or pilot qualification but you will have seen first-hand the elements needed for success at ADF Basic Pilot training.
