Overview
This course is designed for pilots learning to fly aircraft with a retractable undercarriage. Whilst the change from fixed undercarriage to retractable can be made fairly easily, not a lot of emphasis is placed on student’s theoretical knowledge of this more advanced system. Our course is designed to give trainees that knowledge and allow them to commence their RU training with greater confidence.
