Mmm … It happens, you’re on holiday and the neighbour’s friend’s daughter wants to go flying! You do not normally… but this once, you do… then with all the family watching you take off… and say, a bird flies into you and she breaks her ankle during the ensuing hard landing. Did you get an indemnity signed? As the pilot the risk of legal action needs to be managed. Set out below is an indemnity that I use and which you can adapt to suit your circumstances. It was drawn up by a reputable lawyer and comes voets toets, of course.

Ballito Microlight School
February 12th, 2008
“We are serious about our Mission which is to share our brand of fun and flying so that we don’t have to get real jobs and work for a company that has an unreal mission statement.”
So why do your MPL with the Ballito Microlight School? I asked an ex Jhb student this question and his response was ” Living in Jhb, I was lined up for schools in Jhb, but between weather, diaries and the long queues for a lesson in Jhb, it did not happen before I started whilst on holiday in Ballito. This created a plan to fly down for a long week-end or two a month and to fly all week-end. What a fantastic plan it turned out to be. My most memorable training experience must be my cross country – a 7 hour return flight from the Wild Coast under the watchful eye of Dave Jackson.”
