In aviation, the unexpected can happen at any time. Being prepared for emergencies can be the difference between a safe landing and a disaster.
Throughout your training you’ll safely practice a variety of emergency procedures to make sure you know exactly how to respond. Practicing these procedures in controlled settings will help you feel more prepared in the cockpit.
