About This Course

Topic: Tom Turner presents important training concepts regarding aircraft engines that can be invaluable lessons for student pilots.

Why do flight instructors need to teach about engines? Engine performance management, power loss and engine failure procedures, and transition training into higher performance aircraft are just a few. These skill sets are not typically taught during pilot certificate and ratings training. If flight instructors don’t teach about aircraft engines, then who will? We welcome your questions and comments for our presenters during this LiveVideo Broadcast!

nFlightMic - Sponsor Our mission at NFlight Technology is to create solutions that bring consumer products into the aviation market, creating superior and more cost-effective options for pilots. The NFlightMic is a new product with the potential to change one of the most fundamental pieces of equipment pilots use every day: the headset.

For the last several decades, we have been bound by the limited size of the aviation market and the select suppliers willing to produce aviation-specific headsets. The NFlightMic removes these boundaries by providing an aviation microphone compatible with almost any headset, dramatically reducing the cost of a high-quality headset while simultaneously increasing the size of the headset market available to pilots.
