“Absolutely the most valuable training I’ve ever had as a professional aviator. Phenomenal every time.”

“Without a doubt, this is the type of training which one prays they will never have to put into practise. But, I have have been flying commercially for 35 years and have had a licence for longer than that and I must say this was the 4 most valuable days of training in an airplane that I have ever had!! All aspects of the training are logical, ...”

“Invaluable training! Although the mechanics of an unusual attitude recovery can be replicated in the sim, there is simply no substitute for practicing them in an actual aircraft. APS provided an excellent training environment to experience stalls, unusual attitudes and spin recovery all under the supervision of very experienced and friendly ...”

“Just home from a 4-day training event at APS. All three pilots in our flight department have now completed the same course (Jet Pilot Integrated Upset Training plus High Altitude) and the experience was exceptional for each of us. The attention to detail in all facets of the operation are noteworthy. The people working and running APS are what ...”

“Great experience and great instructors. Beneficial for any pilot to learn advanced aerodynamics and experience it real time in a aircraft rather than simulator.”

“A great group of people all around! The training was a blast and I learned a ton! I hate to say it but I was surprised at how much I learned. As a large cabin Gulfstream pilot I've certainly been through Flight Safety and the like a few times but have never looked at upsets and the recovery strategy like this. Most importantly, we put it into ...”

“I am an owner operator of a CJ3+. I have been fortunate to have a lot of high quality training over my 45 years of flying. The four days I spent with APS in Mesa are easily the best aviation training I have experienced. The program is highly structured but the environment is relaxed, welcoming and friendly. I had three instructors all of whom ...”

“One of the most professional schools I have been fortunate enough to attend in my career. I take this type of training deadly serious and found it was very beneficial. I flew with “Duke” and he could not have been a better advanced instructor. All of the people at this school went out of their way to make it absolutely an amazing experience. Great ...”

“I am so grateful I was able to complete this training. I wish every pilot could do it! Life saving stuff. The recovery model is brilliant; simple and applicable to basically any situation and aircraft. Also, “Monty” is the absolute MAN! Thanks APS!!”

“First, let me say that APS offers truly invaluable training material. I am leaving with a stronger understanding of the upset recovery procedures as well as the aerodynamic principles of stalls and spins. After completing their program, I feel that I am a more confident, competent, and [most of all] a safer pilot. I can not recommend their upset ...”

“Very good and very beneficial training for anyone of any experience level and type of flying. Most people don’t want to address worst case scenarios or don’t want to make the investment in it but I would highly recommend training with APS. They have developed a solid strategy for avoiding and recovering from loc-I and impart the knowledge and ...”

“I've spend 2 intensives days with ground school and 4 flights in an Extra 300. Being a single engine PPL with low hours was at first quite intimidating given the air exercises required to go through the upset prevention and recovery training. The team at APS (Admin, Flight Ops, and Instructors) is outstandingly welcoming and made my experience so ...”
