| Hello and welcome aboard! |
Welcome to Aptitude and Altitude, the official blog of Elite Aviation Training!
There is an old adage spoken in aviation training: your attitude more than your aptitude will determine your altitude. A positive attitude helps make learning enjoyable and therefore more successful by any measure. While a good attitude can be encouraged and is irrefutably important to a positive learning outcome, it cannot be trained or tested. Though aptitudes can be innate, most are learned and developed.
Our role at Elite Aviation Training is to further improve our client's pilot proficiency, airmanship and better develop their aeronautical decision making ability through mentoring and coaching.
Our goal at Elite is simple: to train all pilots to professional standard. We want our clients to evolve into safer, more competent and well rounded pilots capable of handling any situation with sound judgment and excellent decision making skills. To accomplish this goal we follow this process:
- Assessment of our client's previous training background, aviation technical knowledge, learning style and piloting skill;
- We build a comprehensive picture of their flying knowledge, skills and judgment making ability;
- Then develop a personalized training curriculum.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recognizes "pilot error" as the number one cause of aviation accidents. While the term encompasses many things, the result is always the same: an airworthy and safe aircraft crashed, possibly resulting in fatalities, due to something a pilot did or didn't do. Therefore, Elite instructors employ training strategies often overlooked in general aviation training-but utilized in airline and military pilot training-as cornerstones in our curriculum development.
Well documented research says that not all students learn at the same pace or learn from the same teaching strategies. Each of our client's training experience is unique because our clients are taught in a manner in which they learn best. Therefore, our clients experience a seamless transition from their previous aviation education to Elite’s system of a personalized and comprehensive training syllabus.
Elite Aviation Training professionals are gifted instructors that recognize latent safety hazards in the training environment that can result in pilot error in the real world and use their knowledge to create a powerful learning opportunity for their clients. Our pilots enjoy teaching, are passionate about life-long learning and love to fly! That enthusiasm positively impacts our clients making the learning experience fun.
At Elite Aviation Training, taking pilots and raising their aptitude to a professional level is our exclusive goal. We will better your aptitude so you can increase your altitude!
