| Have you ever wondered what it’s like to fly in a low wing aircraft? For once you can see traffic and scenery clearly above you, maneuver easier, and have the pleasure of flying a unique aircraft. Flying a low wing aircraft can seem out of the ordinary for some Private Pilot trainees, but join us and find out why low wings should be part of your flying experience.
San Carlos Flight Center invites Chief Pilot Herb Patten to discuss what some of the advantages are to transitioning to and training, in a low wing aircraft. In this seminar, Herb will discuss what a pilot might expect while flying a low wing such as the change in maneuvering characteristics, landing attitudes, speeds, systems, and overall performance. We will also discuss several different scenarios in which a low wing can surpass its competitor training aircraft. If you are a student pilot that is looking to stand out amongst the rest of your flying peers, join us for this seminar to find out why flying a low wing is a good choice. |
