At APS Emergency Maneuver Training the class sizes are relatively small with a high instructor to student ratio. All flight training is one-on-one. Often, clients ask what will be done if the other participants have more experience. See video.

At APS Emergency Maneuver Training we understand that nausea can sometimes be a serious concern or a barrier to training. See the video for what to expect and things that can be done to help.

At APS Emergency Maneuver Training we always teach VFR/VMC recovery techniques first as part of any upset recovery, stall/spin training or unusual attitude training course. See video.

APS Emergency Maneuver Training offers 20 Free Videos on Frequently Asked Questions about Upset Recovery Training, Unusual Attitude Training and Stall/Spin Training. Hosted by president Paul BJ Ransbury.

In this weeks show: 26th Jan 2009We're back to the normal format for aviation talk, mixed with interviews from around the world and features. This week we celebrate Australia day by chatting about Australian Air Safaris. Check out the website at http://www.fullflap.tv

Despite The Economy, The Airshow Industry Seems Optimistic The annual ICAS Airshow Convention is one of our favorite events of the year... both for the pure enjoyment of our fellowship with an amazing group of people, as well as the bell weather research we get from our attendance. Following a fairly safe and positive year, ANN sat down with International Council of AirShows President, John Cudahy to see what the current economic malaise may do to a cost-conscious industry, as well as other pressing aero-issues. The airshow industry often serves as the public's best view of the excitement and potential of the aviation world, so a healthy airshow industry seems critical to the well-being of flyers everywhere. ICAS tells us that Airshows draw large numbers of demographically attractive spectators - a well-educated, affluent group of men, women and children of all ages. More than 70 percent of the audience at an air show has had some college education. Three quarters report household income of $35,000 or more. The average spectator is just under 39 years of age, but more than 53 percent of spectators are between 30 and 50. ICAS notes that Airshows offer a consistently and historically safe environment for millions of spectators each year. Since current rules were implemented nearly 50 years ago, there has not been a single spectator fatality at a North American show an enviable safety record for any business. But... they're not satisfied to leave it that. A 'small working group' of ICAS members met last year to begin work on a new Safety Management System for the air show industry that will serve as an important tool in improving air show safety. As far as 2008 looked, it seems to have been a good start. Aero-TV's Conversation With ICAS Prez, John Cudahy.

A Glider That Goes... WHOOSH??? The 2008 ICAS Convention brought together a lot of diverse talent from all aspects of the airshow industry... but a few of those attending this year raised some eyebrows... like Bob Carlton. Bob began flying in 1979 at the age of 19. He has logged over 2000 hours in a wide variety of aircraft and holds a commercial pilot certificate. Bob's repertoire includes hang gliders, airplanes, helicopters, and sailplanes from hundreds of sites in the US, Canada, Mexico and Australia. More to the point of this story, Bob has flown airshows professionally since 1993. He hails from Albuquerque, New Mexico and is a member of SSA and ICAS. He began flying airshows in his Salto sailplane, and over the years has continued to update his routine with innovative performances such as barnstormin' biplane aerobatics, helicopter sailplane tow, night aerobatics with strobes & pyro and the world's only twin jet sailplane. His innovating ways continue with the recent addition of the Super Salto jet sailplane, with more power, more speed and more aerobatic capability than any other sailplane on the planet! Powered by the PBS TJ-100 jet engine, the highly modified Super Salto sailplane is the only sailplane on the airshow circuit capable of performing a low-level, jet-powered airshow performance. Utilizing its powerful jet engine, the Super Salto performs a high-speed aerobatic climb to altitude without a tow plane, followed by a spectacular exhibition of graceful sailplane aerobatics, choreographed to classical music, and featuring the world-famous Vertigo Airshows smoke. When the original altitude is spent, most sailplanes must land. But not the Super Salto! By simply spooling up the jet engine, the graceful sailplane is quickly transformed into a true low-level aerobatics machine. Accompanied by an ever-quickening musical score, the Super Salto cavorts at ground level with loops, rolls, hammerheads, spins and vertical penetration never dreamed of by a sailplane. When he is not performing at airshows, Bob is a rocket scientist (REALLY) for a major national laboratory. Check Out The Excitement Of Bob Carlton's Super Salto Jet Glider With Aero-TV!

Red Bull Gives You... Rotors? So what makes pilot Charles "Chuck" Aaron's airshow act so special? Well, all you had to do was watch his HELI-AEROBATIC act at Oshkosh to know that something SERIOUSLY DIFFERENT had come to Wittman Field. The Red Bull BO-105 CBS, made by Eurocopter/Messerschmitt Boelkow Blohm (MBB), blew everyone away with a routine rarely seen anywhere, much less at world-class airshow like Oshkosh. As noted in our 2008 Oshkosh coverage, how he got there is enough to write a book on. It almost seems that he was born into aviation, although Chuck will say he was never pushed into it. For him, his father (a flight instructor) was "my greatest inspiration." This ignited the fire... but it was rotorcraft that gave him that feeling of a "magic carpet ride." Fast forward several years... to when energy drink company Red Bull asked him if he could make a helicopter perform aerobatics. Chuck needed some time to ponder the notion, but he soon came around to the idea. However, it took one-and-a-half years to convince the FAA, and several modifications to his helicopter, to make that dream a reality. Besides the aerobatic certificate, Chuck also has an aerobatic move named after him -- similar to the Lomcevak, called (naturally) the "Chuckcevak." So what drives Chuck to do what he does? "I really want young kids to see what I'm doing, take that experience and take their own dreams and say what can I do that is as big as that is in aviation." And what's next for Chuck in all his endeavors? Chuck is working on making additional modifications to his aircraft so he can hover upside down. "It's going to take a lot of work and even though I know how to do it, it's going to take a lot of nerve to do it, and I'm just not there mentally yet," said Chuck.

What A (Great) Let-Down! Parachutes... with luck, you'll never need one, but if you do, we hope you'll have one. They're kinda like insurance... you pay a bit for the comfort of knowing that you'll probably never need it. For those of us, who have resorted to a chute in an emergency, though, we believe and know that this is a subject that deserves some education and attention... hence the reason we spent a little time with Dan Tarasievich's crew at Para-Phernalia parachutes last year. Dan and his folks ran us through an "A to Z" primer on emergency parachute, use, selection and care--which we are now pleased to present to you. Para-Phernalia, Inc., of Arlington, WA, designed and manufactures the highly regarded SOFTIE line of pilot emergency parachutes -- a business that they've undertaken since 1979. Their emergency parachutes are known world wide for their quality, comfort, and reliability... which ANN's Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell, can attest to, personally. This is also the chute series used by our good friend Sean Tucker to save his life after a control malfunction imperiled his life during an aerobatic practice session a couple of years ago. There are seven different SOFTIE models which make up the SOFTIE product line. Each can be customized to suit a pilot/passenger's individual needs. Whether one flies powered aerobatics, gliders, warbirds, or any other type of aircraft, Dan's team has an emergency parachute system designed for your application. Dan tells ANN that, "Emergency parachute systems may seem like expensive cushions that we carry needlessly on our back or sit on uncomfortably. That cushion, however, is a highly specialized life saving device and is vitally important to your air safety. Get to know your parachute system and soon you will realize what an ally that cushion can be and why you should never leave the ground without it." We couldn't agree more....

"Chabot Solo" is a collection of the humorous tales of Charles Chabot, fabulously illustrated with both archive movie film and Chabot's unique collection of photographs. In this clip Chabot tells of how his flying partner "Stinker" would direct him towards anti-aircraft fire in the hopes of getting the perfect shot with his "five bob brownie box" camera. "Chabot Solo" originally aired on the BBC contains much aviation and military footage which has since been lost or destroyed.

It's Airshow Week At Aero-TV! The third in a five part series, this week, starts off a series of interwoven interviews in which we asked about a dozen airshow professionals the same three questions... each of which will become the topic of its own program over the next three days. In this installment we asked a number of airshow luminaries the following question... after the airshow business was rocked by the loss of a favored team's sponsorship (the Red Barons), do airshows provide the kind of value necessary to keep attracting high level sponsorship??? In the next two parts, we'll address the airshow industry's ability to keep up with the times and the overall safety situation we find ourselves in as 2008 gets underway in earnest. Produced at the ICAS Convention just before the end of the year, we were pleased to be able to tackle such important subjects as the industry made ready to start another year... but we apologize for some of the lighting, as we were stuck with some bad conditions and had to make the best of it. ICAS tells us that Airshows draw large numbers of demographically attractive spectators - a well-educated, affluent group of men, women and children of all ages. More than 70 percent of the audience at an air show has had some college education. Three quarters report household income of $35,000 or more. The average spectator is just under 39 years of age, but more than 53 percent of spectators are between 30 and 50. Safety has always been a major airshow concern but a series of unrelated accidents, this past year, to too many performers brought the topic to the forefront of discussion at the most recent ICAS get-together. ICAS notes that Airshows offer a consistently and historically safe environment for millions of spectators each year. Since current rules were implemented nearly 50 years ago, there has not been a single spectator fatality at a North American show an enviable safety record for any business. But... they're not satisfied to leave it that. A 'small working group' of ICAS members recently met in Dallas to begin work on a new Safety Management System for the air show industry that will serve as an important tool in improving air show safety. Using existing safety management systems as models, ICAS members discussed the changes and accommodations needed to effectively adapt the work already done in other segments of the aviation industry to the particular needs and circumstances of the air show community. Conceived as part of the larger ICAS initiative to change the culture of air show safety, the product of this effort is intended to document processes and procedures that our industry can use to manage risk, report incidents and accidents, participate more actively in accident investigations, identify trends, communicate the results of these investigations to members, and reduce the number of accidents in the air show community.
