Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) is at the NBAA Convention (Booth 4630) to acquaint the business aviation pilot community with training in recognition of and recovery from inflight loss of control (LOC-I). Based at Phoenix-Mesa (Ariz.) Gateway Airport, APS has conducted LOC-I training since 1996. In September it concluded an agreement with USAIG, the aviation insurance underwriter, to compensate operators for the cost of their pilots’ training. APS also works with underwriter Swiss Re to provide rebates to its insured clients.

Here in Las Vegas, APS is introducing the company’s newest trainer type, the Aermacchi S-211, which is on static display at the show. President Paul “BJ” Ransbury, v-p of training Randy Brooks and Faye Hamilton, director of sales, are helping NBAA show attendees learn more about the new insurance incentives. They will also describe revisions and refinements to the APS training syllabus based on the newest addition to the fleet.
