GENERAL
I understand that persons undertaking flying training and other types of flying in recreational aeroplanes are advised that there are risks involved. These risks cannot be specifically quantified, however, recreational aeroplanes used for pilot training are constructed, operated and maintained under exemptions from the regulations. These exemptions are from the regulations that apply to General Aviation aeroplanes. While similar rule sets apply to our organisation and replace those that we are exempt from, it must be accepted that the overall safety of recreational flying is generally below the well-known commercial air transport standards in Australia. I agree to report any safety issues as I become aware of them. I agree to be responsible for ensuring my full membership of RAA is paid and current by the start of my 4th lesson and is renewed annually each year when flying with GCSFT. I will abide by the IMSAFE checklist regarding Illness, Medications, Stress, Alcohol, Fatigue, Emotions. I understand that GCSFT has a very high success rate for students, but that all training is competency-based and GCSFT cannot guarantee a time-frame or exact cost for in relation to students completing their course. GCSFT can offer an estimate of course costs but does not train to a specific price, but rather trains students to a safe, competent and legal standard. GCSFT owns all the media related to my flight and reserves the right to withhold any media it deems inappropriate or may bring GCSFT or the RAA into disrepute. GCSFT reserves the right to reschedule my booking due to weather or unforeseen events. A cancelation fee of $100 may apply if I cancel a booked flight with less than 24 hours’ notice. While GCSFT generally only hires Instructors it has trained, GCSFT Aviation makes no guarantee that a position will be offered on completion of the Instructor course. I agree to pay my student club membership to Gold Coast Sports Flying Club with my first lesson and annually thereafter if I should join the Club. I understand that flight training with GCSFT does not guarantee automatic acceptance to GCSFC. INDEMNITY
