Tailwheel Conversion
The tailwheel conversion course is carried out on our Piper Super Cub. The length of the course is dependent on how quickly you develop your skills to the standard required, there is no minimum hours requirement or a final test. The Cub is a great first tailwheel aircraft and this course will open up a whole new range of exciting aircraft to you!
Farm Strip Course
Farm strips can come with a variety of additional challenges that you may not have encountered in your flying before. After brushing up your circuits at Goodwood, we can visit a selection of local strips of varying degrees of difficulty, to help you gain skill and confidence. It is also tremendous fun!

Other additional training
If touring is more to your liking, we can arrange a cross-channel check, going through the paperwork and procedures required so that you may fly to France and maybe beyond. Another useful option in this regard would be time spent exploring the capabilities of the Cessnas’ Garmin 1000 avionics in more depth than you will have in your initial training, including the auto-pilot.
We can fly with you to larger airports to help you become familiar with the procedures and environment, maybe flying amongst airliners!
If you would like to expand your personal flight envelope in terms of general handling, we can spend more time with you looking at sideslipping, cross-wind take-offs and landings, or anything else that you would like to practice.
Flying with other pilots is a great way of sharing your time in the air, allowing you to venture further afield by flying one leg each. We can help to put you in touch with other people looking to find a flying ‘buddy’ or you can join the Goodwood Aero Club’s WhatsApp Group.
Additional ratings and qualifications
&width=75)
Night rating
Does exactly what the name suggests, allowing you to expand your flying privileges to the hours of official night. This is a winter course when sunset is at a reasonable time in the evening! Night flying will resume when the runway lighting is reinstated as part of the runway project.

IR(R) - Instrument Rating (Restricted)
The IR(R) replaces the previous IMC Rating. It allows you to fly with lower weather minima and make instrument approaches to aerodromes that are suitably equipped.

Flight Instructor Course, FI(A)
The Flight Instructor Course will take you back to the exercises covered in your own PPL, and look at them in a fresh way as you learn how to impart your flying skills, knowledge and airmanship to the next generation of pilots. We can also teach the Class Rating Instructor (CRI) course. For qualified Instructors, we can provide the training required for removal of your ‘no applied instrument’ and ‘no night training’ restrictions.

CBIR - Competency Based Instrument Rating
If you already hold an IR(R) and wish to upgrade your qualification to the full Instrument Rating, the CBIR course allows a route to achieve this, taking into account prior instrument flight instruction and experience. Please contact us to discuss what will be required for you. We offer the CBIR course for single-engined aircraft only.
