Pilot Confidence Training

Type: All Attitude / Spin Recovery

Length: 3 days

A modern pilot taught to current FAA standards has experienced less than 13 percent of an airplane’s complete flight envelope. Any aircraft is a completely three-dimensional machine, capable of encountering many adverse situations under the wrong conditions. Accident statistics have proven that in situations where a pilot is pushed to the edge of their experience, the results are usually disastrous.

The PCT course will train any pilot towards complete confidence during all phases of flight and allow even seasoned aviators to improve their aircraft control skills. Through exposure to high G-loads, extreme attitudes, and dizzying rates of rotation, the PCT graduate will have gained actual real-world experience and developed the skills needed to cope with any flight situation. This environment cannot be reproduced in even the most modern full-motion simulator.

Training includes:

Fully controlled flight at high angles of attack / stalled flight

Basic through advanced spin development and recovery

Recoveries from all flight attitudes

Dealing with control system failures

Basic aerobatic training for precision flight in unusual attitudes
