Training CurriculumThe Angeles City Flying Club trains using The Ultralight Pilot’s Flight Training Manual, written by Curtis Hughes and published by the United States Ultralight Association, Inc. (USUA).

The USUA is a highly respected association recognized by the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and is one of the leaders in sport aviation training in the U.S. The Angeles City Flying Club have taken this manual and adapted it to the training environment and Philippine regulations.

The full training course includes at least 30 flying hours.

Those 30 hours must include a minimum of 10 hours dual and 10 hours solo. There is no formal separate ground school; the ground school is conducted in conjunction with the actual flight instruction.

The trainee must pass a written test and physical examination before flying solo. There is no maximum time to complete the course. Trainees are allowed to set their own pace.

Current PilotsMost current general aviation pilots need one to three hours of instruction before a check ride. A log book, pilot license and medical certificate are required.
