Advanced Training Courses
We offer a variety of advanced training courses appropriate for both aviation students, as well as licensed pilots. All of our presentations have a focus on scenario based training and maintaining a high level of student involvement.
Please note that we do not schedule these courses open to the public. The courses are available to individuals and organizations who arrange to have us present the chosen program, and also arrange those who wish to attend.
Customized Advanced Technical Subjects
We deliver custom courses that address a wide variety of topics, geared toward the knowledge level sought by our clients. Some topics we have been asked to present in the past include turbofans/turboprops, advanced systems such as hydraulics or electrics, and aerodynamics (both low and high speed). Other topics we have covered include icing / de-icing, winter operations, adverse weather and radar interpretation.
Threat and Error Management
Using flight management competencies such as CRM and PDM as the foundation, we discuss both the multi-crew and single pilot environments. This includes topics such as leadership and followership, the flight management cycle, and effective use of all available resources. Further TEM topics cover practical application such as through threat identification, mitigation strategies, and UAS recovery. We are able to modify this training session to focus on the target audience, so that the content is both relevant and thought provoking.
Integrated Flight Decks and EFBs
These courses may include a basic foundation of advanced systems such as autopilots, terrain awareness, traffic collision avoidance, and other features. They can also include instruction on the fundamentals of fully integrated flight decks or the “glass cockpit”. Instruction covers technical aspects of the hardware and software, human interface and human performance, environmental considerations, and best practices. The presentation also covers Electronic Flight Bags and considerations for implementation on both small and large scales.
Introduction to Safety Management Systems
This course introduces the key concepts of Safety Management Systems and clarifies regulatory requirements for your operation. It includes aspects such as purpose/benefits, culture, policies/objectives, analysis, organizational risk assessment, and investigations. These topics serve as an overview to developing an SMS, or for those that are looking for a broad introductory course.
Small Group Briefing and Tutoring
Don’t need a full lesson on any one topic? Our presenters can deliver interactive custom briefings and provide tutoring both in-person and virtually on nearly any topic or combination of topics that you need. This service is available on a one-to-one basis or for small groups. If you need a course that’s not listed here, please let us know and we may be able to develop it.
