"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 makes the event. Every individual I dealt with was professional, efficient, engaging and seemed truly happy to be there helping us elevate our level of proficiency. The instructors were all extremely knowledgeable, thorough, well spoken, and experienced. I flew with 3 different instructors, and all were phenomenal. The facility itself is impressive. Well thought out and maintained. The aircraft (we flew the Extra 300 and the Marchetti S211) are very well suited to the training and vice-versa. Extremely well maintained.

It is very evident that the curriculum has been honed to very high standards, and yet is easy to pick up on and execute for all levels of aviators. I highly recommend this training to all pilots, you (and your passengers) will be the better off for it. Our flight department will be back for recurrent training here for certain in the near future. Well done to everyone at APS."
