Will Offer In-Demand Certification For Corporate Flight Safety
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott Campus’ Robertson Safety Institute (RSI) and Flight Research Inc. solidified their ongoing relationship to provide education, certification and advanced aviation training at a signing last Tuesday at the NBAA Convention and Exhibition in Las Vegas.
The agreement ... signed by Embry-Riddle Prescott Chancellor Dr. Frank Ayers and Flight Research Chairman and CEO Bill Korner at a private reception at the annual aviation event ... offers joint professional certification programs in Corporate Flight Safety. This recommits the extensive aviation knowledge of the world’s largest aerospace university with the hands-on approach to loss-of-control recovery experience provided by the Mojave, Calif.-based Flight Research Inc.
“The Robertson Safety Institute is excited to support this joint certificate through ongoing workshops and programs that use our unique on-campus laboratories and resources,” said Dr. Erin Bowen, Director of RSI and chair of the Prescott Campus’ Behavioral and Safety Science Department. “Partnering with Flight Research enables us to build upon that expertise in a unique, innovative way and provide aviation professionals with outstanding hands-on development geared toward making them safer pilots, flight operations managers and aviation leaders.”
Moving forward, Embry-Riddle and Flight Research will collaborate, evaluate and offer recommendations on training curricula. Flight portions of courses will generally take place at the Mojave facility, while ground-based courses will be held at both Flight Research Inc. and Embry-Riddle’s Prescott Campus. Future projects include joint professional workshops that would be open to the public.
“We at Flight Research are honored to have been selected by the prestigious Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to develop training and curriculum programs from basic to highly advanced ground and upset flight training to be offered to the Embry-Riddle community and the general public,” Korner said. “This effort represents another step in our excellent relationship and is geared toward improving piloting skills and aviation safety.”
