Never thought I would be in this market again, but hell, it's not a bad place to be.
I need to employ a couple of instructors to assist me with the usual demand for introductory lessons/flights along the coastline over the festive season.
This service we supply to the holiday makers is an essential service both to the community of microlighters and to the tourism of our Province.
It is stunning work. You will meet hundreds of new people, many who will become life-long friends, and you will get to share the beauty of microlight trike flying along the stunning KZN North coast beaches.
The job calls for exceptional discipline, as the primary function of these flights needs to be remembered at all times - namely that you are doing lesson 3 Air Experience for a potential student. We have learnt over the years that many hundreds of current microlight pilots in SA have come from having done these very flights along the coastline. Why it calls for discipline is that it is easy to forget the importance of the flight, and the discipline required to keep it safe, when you are having fun flying happy passengers....... you need to remember they are potential students, and you are marketing microlighting to them.
Our industry deperately requires new students, and hopefully this December I will be able to send some student enquiries on to my fellow instructors around SA.
So, if you are keen to have some fun whilst earning some reasonable pocket money doing an awesome days work, let me know.
Please don't PM me, it is a hassle always having to log on. Please just reply to this message/topic. No reasons for secrecy folk. Or you can email me on comefly@mweb.co.za or call me on 084 266 3359
Thanks for reading.
Any lovely stories about your first flight in a trike down here which got you hooked on the sport are wellcome on this thread.
Last week I flew one fellow for 30 mins, and in that short time we saw dolphins, a Manta Ray (huge one), various rays, many turtles, and a 'sailing' whale. What made the sailing whale all the more special, was the fact that alongside her, was her approx 2 year old calf learning to 'sail' as well

Cheers and regards to all.
