Minimum syllabus from AUF Ops
Manual:
Note this is a minimum.
AUF (and GA) schools vary a fair bit in consistency. If you are only exposed to
the GFA way of standardised training in Australia, seeing how the powered boys
do it can be a bit of an eye opener. This isn't good or bad, just
different!
Some of the more
rigorous AUF schools follow the CASA Day VFR syllabus and as the leading
paragraph says, this will be the future default
anyway.
AUF (and GA) instructors
tend to teach out of a mixture of various books and often their own notes.
Compare this to GFA instructors who all use the same GFA instructors manual
(once again, not better or worse, just different).
So someone with an
_ultralight glider_ would get the same minimum training as any other
ultralight aircraft/pilot and any extra would depend on
experience/knowledge/foresight of the training
instructor.
(What I guess you are
thinking)
AUF do not teach spin
recoveries. All (I think) aircraft on the ultralight register are forbidden from
aerobatics by the legislation that allows ultralights to fly at all.
Consequently all ultralights are placarded "non aerobatic", even those which
would be aerobatic if on the VH register. However, RAAus do have some
recommendations about getting spin training in
gliders/GA.
RAAus also do
biennials (as per GA) but clearly that can be as complex or simple as the
instructor on the day allows.
