Special NBAA-BACE 2024 Pilot Experience Opportunities
APS invites all NBAA-BACE 2024 attendees to visit Booth #1665 for an exclusive opportunity to experience two immersive virtual reality training scenarios:
- CJP Scenario Experience: Engage in a CJP-specific scenario focused on executing a go-around from an approach that does not meet Safe To Land℠ criteria. This virtual reality session allows pilots to understand and manage the dynamics of a nose-up pitch moment due to high thrust application, ensuring safety during critical phases of flight.
- Circle-to-Land Accident Scenario: Experience a realistic simulation of circle-to-land fatal accidents. This session offers both ride-along and flying opportunities, providing NBAA-BACE attendees with a chance to practice and refine their skills in one of the most challenging and dangerous maneuvers in aviation.
Demo Schedule and Reservation Details
Demos will be available at the APS booth (#1665). Additionally APS will be set up at the education safety center after the Single Pilot Safety Standdown on Monday, October 21. Pilots interested in participating are encouraged to reserve their slots by visiting apstraining.com/bace24vr for advance reservations. A large-screen TV repeater allows observers to watch the virtual reality sessions and learn from the demonstrations facilitated by APS UPRT experts.
These virtual reality sessions provide pilots with a hands-on, interactive learning environment that reinforces the critical training elements of the CJP-specific UPRT enrichment program, enhancing safety and operational readiness.
