We hope this will encourage more fun flying, bearing in mind that these are privileges which may be withdrawn at any time if any of the instructor team are unhappy about the conduct of mutual flights. Medical requirements for mutual flying are identical to those for solo flying.
For local soaring:[edit]
The guidelines for mutual flying are currently under review
P1 – Always sits in the front seat, handles glider below 1000’and meets the following requirements:
+ Permission from the CFI & log book signed to this effect.
+ ‘Mutual flying check’ by a full cat*.
(* Including the ability to handle the A/C satisfactory from the rear seat although P1 will fly from the front seat only (unless specifically authorised by the CFI)).
+ Bronze with Cross-country Endorsement and 50 hours P1.
+ Current as per club guidelines.
+ Minimum of 15hrs solo in last 12 months (show logbook to DI).
+ Familiar with type to be flown and current with method of launch.
P2 – always sits in back seat (unless specifically authorised by the CFI) and:
+ Solo & Off Checks,
+ Check flight to experience flying from the rear seat – signed up in logbook.
+ Current as per club guidelines - ie you can’t fly P2 mutual if you would not be able to fly solo on the day.
For cross country flying:[edit]
P1 – as for local soaring except:
+ Silver and 50 hours P1.
+ Minimum of 20 hours P1 in last 12 Months (show logbook to DI).
