Lab West Ultra Light Inc.

Lab West Ultra-Light Inc is starting up in the Spring of 2012 and will be offering the residents of Lab West the opportunity to learn to fly! Lab West Ultra-Light Inc. will be offering Ultra-Light Pilot Permits and Passenger Carrying Ratings at the Wabush airport on an Ultra-Light aircraft. Why Ultral-lights? - Ultra-Lights are just as safe as general aviation aircraft if they are maintained correctly. - They are generally in the affordable price range for the average person - they are more affordable to fly and maintain (you are the mechanic!) - Some of the flight hours gained on Ultra-Lights can be used towards other Pilot Permits and Licences - lower speeds and lower weight means you can get into and out of those smaller lakes (for the avid fisherman) - the medical requirements are less than that required for higher Licences Whats involved with learning to fly? - get your Radio Operators Certificate (aeronautical) so you can use the two-way radio in the aircraft. This is FREE and available through the school. - Fill out a self medical declaration. This will need a signature of a family doctor if you want to get the additional Passenger Carrying Rating. - Groundschool. This two day course coveres topics such as Aviation laws, airmanship, meteorology, navigation, etc that every pilot needs to know. - Pass a Transport Canada multiple choice exam based on information from the ground school. - FLYING! Students need a MINIMUM of 10 hours of flying time to earn an Ultra-Light Pilot Permit. the average student will require closer to 20 flight hours. - Pass a Flight School multiple choice written exam in order to fly solo. - THAT'S IT!
