Objectives of the SYFC Flying Course
Introduce
To introduce and expose students to flying and aviation.
Discover
To discover each student’s aptitude and potential for flying.
Develop
To develop the skills, knowledge and character necessary for flying training.
The SYFC Flying Course is divided into 3 phases. Phases I and II constitute the Basic Flying Course, which can be completed with or without the achievement of the 1st Solo Flight. Phase III is the PPL Course, which leads to the attainment of the CAAS issued PPL.
The primary aim of the SYFC is to expose as many students as possible to the world of aviation. To this end, SYFC’s aim would have already been achieved if a student completes Phase I of the Flying Course. Students who show good potential will however be recommended to proceed to Phase II, where the basics of take-off and landing are taught. Students who demonstrate competence in this phase will be given the opportunity to make their 1st Solo Flight, which marks the end of this phase. Out of those who achieve 1st Solo, only the outstanding ones will be recommended for Phase III of the course, which is the PPL Course.
