"Pilots frequently say: 'I wonder how I would react if I suddenly lost control of my aircraft - what if I ended up upside down, or in a spin, or a dynamic stall, how would I handle the situation - what could cause me to lose control turning to land?' This course is designed to answer these questions, restore confidence and improve safety. In fact the course covers sequences that I believe should be a compulsory part of the private and commercial pilot license syllabus."

Emergency Manoeuvre Training can be taken as a separate stand-alone course and is of great value to any pilot (GA, Ultralight, or Glider). The course is mandatory before commencing formal aerobatics training. The course has been an Air Action specialty for seventeen years and is aimed to prevent the same old accidents happening time after time. The course is very practical and as with the aerobatic syllabus, it is tailored to suit each pilot's individual requirements.

All emergency manoeuvre training is carried out in our Pitts S-2A's but is designed to be completely transferable to other aircraft types. EMT is a course in defensive flying training and is far more than just spin training.

In brief, the course covers the following practical situations and issues:

• Aircraft mishandling and inadvertent loss or partial loss of control.
• Improving yaw awareness.
• Understanding stalling, dynamic stalling, and mishandling at or near the stall. Examining common scenarios which follow taking the aerofoil beyond the critical angle of attack at any airspeed and in any attitude.
• Emergency Spin Recovery (considering 16 basic spin types)
• Rolling "G" awareness (most common cause of airframe overstress and airframe failure)
• Defensive flying - high performance direction reversals limiting forward penetration, eg. in collision avoidance and blind valley recoveries.
• Advanced unusual attitude recoveries, eg. recovery from sudden inverted or near inverted attitudes resulting from severe turbulence / mountain wave effect - rotor. Recovery from vertical and inverted stall awareness. And more...

Air Action will take you safely through the areas you fear.

Air Action has become renowned for it's E.M.T. course, a course in defensive flying.
