Flight Training Missionaire's Flight
Training Program is designed to train individuals to be pilots on the mission
field. We take you from where you are in your flying, to become a proficient
pilot for the area of the world to which the Lord is leading you. Missionaire
offers flight training from the beginning with our Private Pilot Course. We also
provide training for instrument, commercial, and multi-engine ratings. After you
have the basic flying skills, we are able to teach you how to fly the airplane
closer to its limits. This training involves short field practices, rough field
techniques, soft field methods, runway clearing (ways to safely remove animals
and people from your intended landing area), landings on curved runways, uphill
and downhill landings, all with the aircraft fully loaded. At this point you
will need to have a sense of where in the world the Lord is leading you to
serve. Training will then be geared toward the specifics of navigation, climate,
elevation and terrain, as well as cultural challenges within the area you have
chosen.
Navigation -The type of navigation training you will receive depends on where you will be flying. An instrument rating within the Siberian region does little good as there are no instrument aids. Most of the navigation is done by dead reckoning, following a map.
Climate-
Temperature, humidity, temperat Elevation- The higher the elevation, the less dense the air is, therefore the aircraft performance is decreased. Special training is provided if you will be flying from a high altitude airstrip. Terrain- The terrain that you will be flying over is one of the most important aspects of missions flying, and is sometimes overlooked. We spend a great deal of time on terrain, since it affects almost all other aspects of your training.
Culture- This is
not thought of as an area for pilot training, but it can be an area of concern
for some cultures. Most of the cultural aspects are taught in other areas of
your training. For those who already have some experience, we perform an
evaluation of your flying skills to find out where you are in your flying. We
can then take you from that point and help you to achieve the skills you need
for placement on the mission field.

ure changes....all have a great effect on the
performance of an aircraft. Climate also affects the preparation for a flight.
Training will be very different for Siberia compared to Indonesia.
