FLIGHT TRAINING
FOR SAFETY
Changing the way Aircraft Training is done.
Custom Courses
Our training goal is to put you in control of any situation that you may encounter. We train so that recovery from that problem will become second nature to you. We train to help you gain the ability to get to a safe landing. We train to keep you from getting into more trouble until you can review the emergency checklist. We train to help you save your passengers and your aircraft.
What makes AST Different?
- We analyze accident reports
- We teach how to handle real-life emergencies in our simulators
- Learn how to save the lives of you and your passengers
- Learn how to recognize and address problems early
Aircraft SIMULATOR Courses
Six Degrees of Motion SIM
Our custom built full six degrees of motion simulator is fully enclosed and creates total movement and actual flight characteristics. It is used for high end training in our high performance aircraft. This includes jet training, turboprop training, large twin engine training and complex aircraft training. We wanted to give an actual aircraft feel that some sims just do not do.
