Spin and Upset Recovery

Pilots of any level benefit from our 3-hour Upset Recovery Course. The purpose of this training is to experience and to learn how to control an airplane if it ever gets into any unusual flying attitude. 

 

We all know from our private pilot training how important it is to avoid wake turbulence, but do we really know how to control the airplane in case of encountering wake turbulence?!

 

Great part of any pilot training is devoted to stalls and this specific flight condition/recovery is a mandatory skill to be demonstrated on check-rides, from recreational to ATP. The question is: what happens AFTER the airplane stalls fully? How to anticipate and avoid an unintentional Spin? Furthermore, how to get out of a spin safely and with confidence? 

 

Those answers and much more are found in our Upset Recovery syllabus. We have it designed to cover ground school review on basic aerodynamics and recovery methods. At the end of the training you will have achieved a much higher level of pilot skills and confidence. And…it’s a lot of FUN, too!!

 

There is no substitute for experience: If you know what to expect, you know what to do! Give us a call and sign up for the Upset Recovery Course!

CFI Spin

In recent years stall/spin accidents have accounted for roughly 12% of general aviation accidents and 25% of fatal accidents.  In every situation the pilot didn't know to recover from a recoverable situation.  Don't you owe it to yourself to have the knowledge and skills to teach your future students how to NOT become a statistic?

The Aerial Advantage Aviation CFI Spin Endorsement course was designed to give you complete and thorough training in spin recognition, recovery, flight dynamics, and spin prevention.  You will also learn common inadvertent spin scenarios.  Aerial Advantage Aviation is equipped to give proper spin training that you just cannot get in normal everyday flight training.

Our professional and highly skilled instructors will take the time to help you complete this 2-hour course and gain a level of confidence and degree of knowledge that every CFI candidate should have.  Upon completion you will meet the requirements per FAR 61.183(i)(1) for spin training endorsement and a BFR.

Become a CFI that is completely competent is spin recognition, recovery, and, most importantly, spin prevention. Sigh up for the CFI spin Endorsement course today!

Basic Aerobatics

Are you looking to experience the ultimate freedom of flight?  Take advantage of our Basic Aerobatics Course and turn your world upside down!

While aerobatic flight is extremely fun, the skills learned are also invaluable to any pilot. The FAA describes it as "Precision flying with a purpose" and stresses that to this date all U.S. military pilot courses include aerobatic flights.

With aerobatic training you will develop a level of self-discipline and superior situational awareness unattainable in any other realm of aviation.

The Aerial Advantage Aviation Basic Aerobatics Course is designed and taught to specific completion standards.  You will learn everything from Loops and Rolls to Hammerheads and aerobatic Spins.  Our ten-lesson syllabus was created to take pilots with no previous aerobatic experience to complete aerobatic proficiency.  Once accomplished, you will be able to practice your new found aerobatic skills solo in our beautiful 8KCAB Super Decathlon or even compete in aerobatics competitions organized by the International Aerobatic Club.

Also, upon completion you will meet the requirements per FAR 61.183 for a spin training endorsement, endorsement for a Tail-Wheel Airplane*, and a BFR.

Aerial Advantage Aviation employs professional and experienced aerobatic instructors who will take the time to help you gain the skills, confidence, and a degree of safety other pilots only dream of.

Invert your horizon, sign up for the Basic Aerobatic Course today!!!

* Solo proficiency is not guaranteed at the end of 10 flight hours, though typically attained.

Tailwheel Transition

Getting a tailwheel airplane transition and endorsement is easier than most pilots think. When you start flying and landing a "taildragger" you are exposed to the real joy of flying, like the old days of aviation.  And you also learn pretty quickly the true use of that thing called "Rudder" and how you can use the newly acquired skill to fly the airplane coordinated at all times. 

Once you are successful in landing the plane on a three-point landing or on a wheel-landing, you have acquired a much higher level of confidence and skill that will make any landing on a tricycle plane really uneventful. Your understanding of cross-wind landings will make you a much safer pilot in nearly any landing condition.

Aerial Advantage Aviation developed a syllabus for the Tail-Wheel transition course that encompasses 5 lessons, Your first flight will introduce you to the Super Decathlon and you will fly the airplane and experience the stick-and-rudder way of flying. Slow flight, stalls, and coordinated turns are part of this phase. The effects of adverse yaw, torque, and gyroscopic forces are also an important component of this lesson.

Then we concentrate on working in the pattern and practicing landings, different types of approaches, from short approaches to forward slip to landing.  All with a comprehensive pre-flight briefing on the ground.

If you want to learn how the an airplane really flies, want to accomplish your next BFR with a touch of fun and safety, and add a tailwheel endorsement to your logbook, please contact us for more information.  You will discover a new perspective in flying!
