1 HANG GLIDING FEDERATION of AUSTRALIA SUPERVISED PILOT TRAINING WORKBOOK Hang Gliding Issued - May, 1997 Revised - January, 2000; August, 2011; May 2012

2 TRAINEE PILOT DETAILS Name: Home Address: Telephone: Instructor/s: This workbook outlines the training requirements to be completed prior to issue of a HGFA Supervised Hang Gliding Pilot Certificate. All phases of this workbook must be completed by the student. This training program is divided into two parts theory and practical. The theory phases must be completed by the student, in conjunction with the Instructor during the pilot certificate course. Some phases may be completed as home study. In either instance, the Instructor is required to check the notes taken by the student for accuracy and discuss each theory question to ensure that the student gains a full understanding of all theory aspects of the program. On completion of the Theory Phases of the Workbook, the Student Pilot is required to sit (and pass to the required standard) the HGFA Supervised Pilot Certificate Theory Examination. Each practical phase must be completed by the Student and each day s flying logged by the student. The Instructor is to countersign each day s Log and complete the Student Skill Assessment column. Once the Instructor is satisfied that all theory and practical requirements for Certificate issue have been completed, the Supervised Certificate Application Form and Instructor Declaration (last page) are to be completed, detached from the Workbook and forwarded to the HGFA Head Office. Theory References: Hang Gliding for Beginner Pilots, 3 rd Edition by Peter Cheney HGFA Operations Manual (Referred to as Cheney) (Referred to as Ops Man.)

3 This Workbook must be retained by the Student Pilot for future reference and must be provided to the HGFA Operations Manager on request. Failure to provide a completed Workbook may lead to Pilot Certificate suspension until an appropriately completed Workbook can be provided.

9 3 Meteorology / Flying Conditions 3.1 During sunny weather, what is often the predominant wind flow on the coast: (Refer: Cheney Chapter 5) (a) during the afternoon?... (b) during the early morning? Complete the following diagrams of various shaped hills and ridges by denoting areas of lift; areas of sink and areas where turbulence would be present. Also draw lines to demonstrate wind flow. Arrows denote wind direction.

Look ahead & use big steps for smoothest & straightest acceleration. Relax elbows & grip to find trim, make sure trim is found before flaring. Flare with open hands for most effective flare in light winds. Keep feet together for stability in flight. Got too gusty so did theory phases 1, 2 & 3.
