Or........How to land the damn thing if he croaks it “qualification”
OK.....a bit sexist I know......but you get the drift.
This is obviously not a real qualification as such.
It is intended to give the person who usually sits in the right seat some practical experience they can draw on should they need to take control and improve the chances of getting down in one piece.
Why don’t you take the Kids to Disney while the other half learns what it’s all about.
No way I could teach Cath how to use the radio or land a plane, she wanted to know about it from someone who really knew what they were doing.
May 2001.
Cath with Jatin at Winterhaven Gilbert Airfield about to do some stalls, radio operation and landings.

In the US this is known as the “Pinch Hitter” course (although I still have no idea why).
The training is taken in the right seat.
While any amount is of use, for best results suggest 12 - 15 hours.
