Aircraft used: Cessna 152

Course Dates:   4th week of every month (classes begin on Monday and Thurs.)

Text Materials Included, 5 hours ground school, 5 hours flight time

Description: A very popular course at The NEAC, along with being the most recommended course to enroll in, our Spin, Stall and Unusual Attitude training is a must for all pilots! The majority of aviation accidents on record have been the direct result of a pilot entering an unintentional spin. Within this course flight coordination is heavily discussed and demonstrated! The in flight practice of power-on, off, trim, and turn stalls are also heavily practiced. Many of these maneuvers are done by use of visual reference and under the hood (instrument reference). Slow flight and unusual attitudes are also covered within this program. The overall outcome of this course is to bring about the understanding of stall-spin awareness and how to prevent such from occurring. Of course if a stall or spin ever did occur, the understanding of how to immediately recover from one, is also essential. This course is a potential lifesaver! Anyone serious about aviation should seriously consider enrollment.

The majority of this is done on the ground, via advance computer programs that utilize exact procedures of the specific equipment. In the air, the Garmin series will be utilized and trained with. You will learn how to navigate using GPS equipment. This covers the usage of GPS flight planning, and GPS approaches, for those who are instrument certified. Many of the manufacturers of top line GPS equipment have similar operations in terms of use. Learning and understanding the concept of GPS navigation in general will help in using all types of GPS equipment.

Course Prerequisite: None

Aircraft used: Cessna 152 or Cessna 172 (clients choice)

Course Dates: To be announced

Text materials included, 5 hours ground instruction, 6 hours flight time

Course Description: Emergency operations are by far one of those subjects looked over by many pilots after becoming certified. We must all remember that at anytime it can happen to anyone of us. A sudden engine loss or fire in the cockpit can have serious effects on our safety. Within this course we discuss a broad amount of in flight and taxi emergencies that can happen at any time. Such emergencies shall include in-flight engine loss, in flight fire, rudder and trim failure, landing gear malfunctions, distractions in the cockpit, radio failure/light gun signals, flap malfunction, and much more. While practicing these simulated in flight emergencies, short filed airports are also utilized. The decision of when to turn around and how to determine safe glide distances are also heavily discussed and demonstrated. This is an all hands on experience when in the aircraft. Another must for all pilots!
