Alway’s a pleasure learning from someone with years experience and great knowledge

Really enjoy the course. Brian and Bard are great. As a novice that just finished my course few months ago, this clinic helps me to be kore confident in thermalling and preparing myself for my first XC. Thank you Brian and Barb. Bernard

Well organised documentation sent in advance. Brian remained consistent when sending updates out regarding the scheduling of the course It was excellent to bounce ideas off Brian and Andrew to obtain the same consistent messages from difference perspectives. It was a great course and am looking forward to scheduling another one

The very good rating scale doesn’t adequately describe how I felt about the course.  I thought it really was excellent and such a good learning experience.  Brian has so much experience and he imparts that experience in such a positive way.  I learnt so much and had such a good learning experience. I’m looking forward to getting more air time and more XC flights and possibly doing the XC and competition course with Brian once I’m more experienced.  It was very hard going back to work today (especially since I’m still sick!) after such a good weekend. The course was catered to different levels of flying experience which was great (ie me with 12 hours vs those with lots of coastal hours, in land hours etc). Many thanks – I had a blast!

Good course I enjoyed and got a lot from it. As a small suggestion I would have liked a little more direction in air – appreciate this is difficult but might have been good. Have recommended you to several people since!

“Loved it! Think everyone at camp crusty asked me about it at least once and I told them it was really good. Lots of information to keep me going for months. Would love to do this again!”

A great clinic.  I was rather apprehensive when applying, as I felt that it would be way above my capabilities – but with Brian’s assurances, and in flight coaching, I never felt out of my depth. I ended the clinic with far more confidence – and although I have a looong way to go, I now have the ammunition to get me there. Thanks Brian and Barb

Very good value. I felt well supported and catered for as a novice; also good clinic for the more experienced.

Excellent vehicle! I love the swivel chairs Well organised and very efficient. I can’t thank Barb enough for her wonderful way of returning us from remote locations. The track logs at the end of the day were good and showed me that lines taken are important. This course should be compulsory for all pilots thinking of flying XC and comps. There is just so much to do and so much information.

Probably the most difficult step for low-airtime pilots is to get beyond the sleddie and ridge soaring stage. Brian’s clinic is perfect for that. He nudges you along and modifies your practices without putting you under pressure. The organisation is superb, with lots of flying time, good coverage of theory, well organised retrieves and very helpful debriefs. Bright has superb flying sites and the Outdoor Inn (aka Camp Krusty), which is right below Mystic launch, is the perfect base for your stay in Bright. The pilots doing the clinic all had different levels of experience, but each of us had our best flight to date on the first day of the clinic and then exceeded it on the following day. Brian’s clinic will reignite your interest in flying – Barry

I would strongly recommend to anyone to undertake the XC Clinic before contemplating XC flying. This course gave me the knowledge and confidence to fly away from an inland launch pad.
