Emergency Flight Skills Course 

The AeroSchool Emergency Flight Skills course is designed for individuals with no prior flying experience, providing the essential skills to safely control an aircraft in case of an emergency. This course equips non-pilots with the basic knowledge to handle an aircraft in an emergency, ensuring they can respond effectively should the need arise.
