2010 Gliding Queensland Airworthiness Course


Where:   Warwick Gliding Club

When:    Saturday July 17th to Saturday July 24th

Positions are available on the following courses:

    - Replacement Components
    - Annual Inspector (Form 2) Authorization
    - Standard Repairs FRP (Minor) - Roger Bond Instructing

There will be limited positions available on all three courses.
Register without delay to avoid disappointment.

Who should attend: The three courses are aimed at individuals who are interested in the maintenance and repair of sailplanes. Any GFA member may attend, however it is recommended that you are sponsored by either your club's airworthiness coordinator or another inspector. Clubs are strongly encouraged to sponsor interested individuals.


Course objectives: Whether it be learning to repair a flat tire or performing non-destructive analysis on airframe components our aim is to improve your ability to maintain aircraft. At the end of the course your skills and aptitude will be assessed and you may be granted the ratings relevant to that course.

Course fees: Course costs have yet to be finalized; however a cost structure of a club contribution and individual contribution per student is likely. The course will be subsidized by Gliding Queensland. The course will be 'live in' and all accommodation and meals will be included in the course fees. This will also include all course material and lecture notes. Clubs are strongly encouraged to support their members financially as without trained airworthiness people clubs stop flying.

Aircraft: Students will be working on a variety of aircraft. If you wish to bring your own aircraft (or a club aircraft) contact the course coordinator and discuss your requirements. Progress towards Motor Glider endorsements may also be possible.
