Handling In-Flight Emergencies

This four hour course will provide you with all the practice you need in handling any type of emergency situation you may encounter while flying. You will spend a minimum of 2 hours flying the simulator, and handling every kind of emergency you can think of (and them some). Many of the situations you’ll encounter would never be attempted in a real airplane. Need extra practice on a particular technique, we’ll make sure you get all of the practice you need (but not necessarily when you’re expecting it). And, since not all flying is physical, your instruction will include practice and drills on the emergency procedures and information that will help to prevent you from ever ending up in a real emergency situation.

We all hope that none of these preparations are ever necessary, but what’s better, to prepare for something that never happens, or to have something happen that your not prepared for?
