Torgoen Swiss, a fast growing manufacturer of wristwatches for
aviators, tells ANN that it is launching the Torgoen Academy of
Flight Safety in partnership with Air Show Pilot Spencer Suderman
and his Be-A-Safe-Pilot training program. The academy's curriculum
will deliver specialized flight training to both private and
commercial pilots that will increase aviation safety by teaching
pilots essential recovery and survival skills not normally offered
in either primary or advanced flight training.
"The Torgoen Academy's training teaches pilots to be safer by
teaching them to deal with departures from normal flight, upsets
due to turbulence and mechanical failures by maintaining a cool
head and applying techniques learned in the school's aerobatic
training aircraft to resolve the situation at hand. "We literally
turn pilots' upside-down in real airplanes in order to give them
the confidence to fix the problem without the panic," said Spencer
Suderman, chief flight instructor and air show pilot. "Expanding
the relationship as Torgoen's brand ambassador and re-naming the
training program will help spread the word throughout the aviation
industry that only through proper training and experience will all
pilots become safer pilots."
The Torgoen Academy is based at the Camarillo Airport in Ventura
County, California and operates year round taking full advantage of
the predominantly excellent weather in the southwestern United
States. It is the only flight school in Southern California flying
the Pitts Special S-2B high performance biplane.
