Getting Checked Out to Fly EZT

We recommend that if you are looking to be checked out to fly EZT and you already hold a PPL that you should complete the following CASA questionnaire using the POH and documents provided above. This will equip you with the knowledge you require to complete the checkout process with an instructor and will also greatly enhance your understanding and safe use of the aircraft.

For students filling out the questionnaire is also a valuable learning tool as it will help you structure your reading of the various manuals and ensure you take away the key knowledge areas.
