The Robin R2120 trainer
Taking to the skies
I've been taking up flying lessons lately at the North Shore Aero Club - flying the Robin R2120 Aircraft, which is a great little trainer. The aero club currently operates six of these planes, most of which are still quite new and very comfortable to fly. This page contains some useful stuff that I've written during my years of training which others may find helpful.Check Lists
The following checklists are design specifically for aircraft available from the North Shore Areo Club and operating from the North Shore Airfield. They may well be useful for other places and aircraft.I wrote these checklist as a part of my training and flight tests. Each is available as a PDF file ( you need Adobe Acrobat reader ) or an OpenOffice document. They are all formatted as an A5 page to be inserted into a small folder, or bound into a small booklet - small enough to add to a flight kit without taking up too much room.
NOTE - these lists are provided without guarantee of accuracy. Do not rely on the information in these lists to conduct a safe flight : ultimately it is up to the Pilot in Charge ( PIC ) to ensure that a flight is conducted safely. Please notify me of any corrections or omissions.
