About Us

Our primary purpose is to ensure each participating pilot receives the required training to achieve their specified skill development needs.  In matter of days, the intricacies of upset recovery training, aerobatics and stall/spin recovery techniques are revealed by the APS team of experts. Guaranteed results are consistently produced through the structured integration of extensive academic instruction with hands-on in-flight exercises. Throughout each of our programs, key learning concepts are frequently re-enforced using our proven building-block training methodology developed over the course of a decade. With over 12,000 instructional flight hours dedicated exclusively to advanced aerobatic instruction, upset recovery and emergency maneuver training, we are recognized experts in the production of safe, educated, experienced and self-reliant pilot graduates. APS excels at exposing pilots to “edge of the envelope” maneuvering not seen during normal flight training in a manner that leads to thorough understanding and tangible piloting skills. We teach pilots of all skill levels how to assess a situation and then take immediate action to avoid, or recover from, any in-flight unusual attitude or botched maneuver scenario. Our team guarantees you will not be disappointed with your selected course(s) of training at APS. Read Frequently Asked Questions.

SAFETY & TRAINING AIRCRAFT

Safety of flight is paramount. APS Training exclusively employs the German-built Extra 300L and Level D Full Flight Simulators. In addition to being the world’s highest performance certified aerobatic aircraft, the Extra 300L is the safest, most structurally sound, ideally-suited upset recovery and advanced aerobatics training platform available in the marketplace. This aircraft is fully aerobatic, equipped with multiple-view digital video systems and certified by the FAA to a +/- 10 G envelope for your team’s safety.

CUSTOMER SPECIFIC

Despite the Extra’s superior performance and capabilities, all maneuver-based and scenario-based training exercises are taught in a manner that ensures each student is trained to apply recovery techniques within the performance envelope of their specific aircraft. Our upset recovery and emergency maneuver training courses teach every participant to recover from any possible in-flight upset or flight envelope excursion. Most importantly,  these APS training programs are focused on promoting “Recognition and Avoidance” through awareness flight training integrated with a thorough academic aerodynamic comprehension of each potential flight condition.
