Advanced PPL Course - Ultimate High "Basic Wings

The basic PPL clears new pilots to captain an aeroplane with passengers only at the most rudimentary level of skill.  Many PPL graduates feel they would benefit from improving their skills in a number of key areas, primarily:
- captaincy
- airmanship
- decision making under pressure
- operating at the boundaries of the flight
  envelope
- navigation through controlled airspace
- the ability to deal with individual and/or 
                                                                      multiple emergencies
