Will Offer Specialized Flight Training

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.
