The AutoPILOT – For the Aviation Enthusiast July/August 2003 Emergency Maneuver Training with APS “… the best way to describe the overall experience of this program is like receiving a Masters Degree in Emergency Maneuver Training (EMT) – tremendously valuable from newly rated pilots through the most experienced. APS has turned a very important element of every pilot skill set into a thorough and detailed learning experience both on the ground and in the air, and they have done this while making it fun!” |

International Aerobatic Club’s: SPORT AEROBATICS May 2003 – Have you ever been upside down in an airplane? There are those of us who intentionally fly aero-batic maneuvers for fun, profit, fulfillment of the competitive spirit, and even to defend our country. As an instructor teaching emergency maneuvers, unusual attitudes, and aerobatic training to other pilots, I see the benefits of such training daily… |

International Aerobatic Club’s: SPORT AEROBATICS February 2003 Emergency Maneuver Training at APS “…power management and unusual attitude recovery are a major part of EMT course work, but they are usually intended for pilots less accustomed to aerobatic flight – a whopping four out of five pilots. For aerobatic pilots, who presumably already know not to perform a split-S out of inverted dives, and who should know how to roll to the horizon and work the nose down when skill takes a vacation, unusual attitude recoveries are nothing more than botched maneuver recoveries… however, what about those times when we are not operating our favorite aerobatic aircraft? Is our mind still trained to know how to fly out of unusual attitudes, or the flip side, do our aerobatics hearts have a kinesthetic feel for the load restrictions of our non-aerobatic aircraft?” |

PLANE & PILOT MAGAZINE – THE MAGAZINE FOR ACTIVE PISTON-ENGINE PILOTS April 2003 Emergency Maneuver Training An examination of NTSB accident reports fuels arguments as to whether pilots are learning all they need to know…When American Airlines Flight 587 ended in a New York neighborhood just 103 seconds after takeoff, it began a trail of mysteries. Radar imagery showed a probable wake-turbulence encounter from another airliner… |

WINGS – CANADA’S NATIONAL AVIATION MAGAZINE Issue #2, Volume 39, April/May 1998 Emergency Maneuvers: To Fly Another Day by Mike Reyno “… although all pilots learn emergency maneuvers as part of their flight training early in their careers, chances are that these procedures are not practiced outside the simulator on a regular basis, especially in commercial and corporate sectors of aviation. In many instances, accident investigators conclude that it was a simple maneuver that put pilots into an unrecognizable and hence unrecoverable situation…” |

WINGS – CANADA’S NATIONAL AVIATION MAGAZINE Special Supplement – Flight Training in Canada, January 2002 Emergency Maneuver Training: Controlling Your Airplane During a Crisis by Rich Stowell “…the EMT Program continues to evolve as a means to improve pilot proficiency and confidence in all flight attitudes. It strives to develop awareness, recognition, and avoidance of situations that can lead a pilot into an unusual attitude. Through such hands-on experience, pilots learn what their role is in the flight process. They also learn to appreciate more fully the true function of the flight controls and how to interface with the airplane. All of this is conducted in a controlled environment, with instructors who specialize in emergency techniques. Next time you’re looking for some advanced flight training, consider enrolling in an emergency maneuvers program…” |

FLYING – WORLD’S MOST WIDELY READ AVIATION MAGAZINE January 2002 EXTRA MANEUVERS TRAINING by Jay Hopkins “…our industry has committed an error in not teaching stalls and spins properly. Instructors do not teach stalls properly because they are afraid to get into a spin by accident. Accidents that occur during instructional flights are occurring because a maneuver goes bad and the student and/or instructor have not had the training to recover…”…does training make a difference? Stowell reports that an FAA-funded study showed unequivocally that just 30 minutes of the right kind of spin training reduced the accidental spin rate of the test group to ZERO…” |
