“We promote aviation safety through effective flight training.”
“Alone and Unafraid”
Eagle Training Solutions, LLC borrowed its motto
from the American heroes who flew reconnaissance missions over the Ho Chi Minh
Trail during the Vietnam War. Their motto
“Alone, Unarmed and Unafraid” showed the professionalism and confidence they
had in flying their missions that all pilots should possess. A way to examine your own flying capabilities
is to ask before each flight, “Can I do this ‘alone and unafraid’?” You are at once asking “Am I safe and
capable?” If you ever feel fear or doubt
in planning or executing a flight you are probably sacrificing safety. If you lack the capability and confidence to fly, you need to avail yourself of the good
and regular training. “Eagle Training”
can offer the training you need.
“His teaching style is refreshing and his classes
are interesting and fast paced…liberally salted with examples taken from his
extensive flying experience.”

“Flying the
Lifeline”
“I
am a blessed man,” says Patrick Shaub.
“Because of where I have been and what I have seen I now see the
miracles most of us miss. They literally
happen in our lives every day.” As the
captain of a helicopter ambulance Pat flew over twenty-four hundred missions responding
to emergency calls. It didn’t take him
long to see miracles. Drawing from a
pilot logbook that soon accompanied a folder full of personal notes he kept
track of the details of the missions. As
a result he draws his audience in with a deep reservoir of real-life
experiences that left him convinced that nothing happens by accident. Pat’s presentation is at once a spirit filled
testimony and sincere tribute to firefighters, police officers and emergency
service workers with whom he worked.
“They are the everyday heroes who go into harm’s way; who face without
blinking the danger and tragedy that rises from our most grave emergencies,”
says Pat. This inspirational
presentation will leave you moved and aware that your life too is a series of
miracles.
Pat

Air Safety Foundation.

Pat
Shaub, Instructor—AOPA
Air Safety Foundation
With pilot error cited in 75 to 80 percent of all accidents,
it’s no wonder decision making is a hot topic. Unfortunately, all the theory
can make the topic a bit dry. But this seminar is different. Interactive DVD
technology lets you determine the outcome of one pilot’s challenging flight
home. See
