Toronto Aerosports - Jack Cowan of Toronto Aerosports has
been teaching
ultralight
pilots to fly from the Baldwin Airport for over a decade now. Jack
uses the "time tested" Merlin aircraft for his training, but has
modified the craft from a tail dragger to a tricycle gear configuration.
The Merlin is an excellent side by side two seater which
is well adapted to Canadian year round flying. Jack has also taught
students on their own aircraft including the Beaver, T-Bird, Kit
Fox, Challenger and Aerocruiser, and also offers float training on
"your plane"
Students enrolled in one of Aerosports courses begin with lessons in,
aircraft familiarization and preparation for flight, taxiing, aircraft
attitudes and movements, straight and level flight, climbing, descending
and turns, which takes about 2 hours.
The next four hours plus, depending on student, deal with
circuits, take-offs, landings, side slips, forward slips, crosswind
landings and takeoffs.
From there the student progresses to endurance flight, slow flight, stall
recovery, spiral dive recovery, forced landings and precautionary
landings, then into solo flight. With optional training in cross country
navigation available.
