“Global Aerospace recognizes that as our industry evolves so must the SM4 Program. By supporting this first-class Part 141 approved training provider, we are enhancing the program and providing valuable services that meet the needs of our customers,” said Marilena Sharpell, Senior Vice President, Underwriting and Operations Executive, at Global Aerospace. “We are pleased to welcome Prevailance Aerospace to the program to help our customers achieve a higher level of flight proficiency through UPRT flight academics, airborne training, and additional tools they can use in the future. We know our customers will also benefit from receiving a custom training video with wing, tail, and cockpit audio and video from their capstone training flight, to further support the study and practice of appropriate recovery procedures.”
As an industry, we have recognized that LOC-I accidents are resulting in more fatalities in business and commercial operations than any other category of accident over the last decade. The NBAA, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and the FAA have all made it a priority to reduce these events across the globe. The NTSB also targets this issue on its 2016 “Most Wanted” list of safety improvements.
Through the SM4 Program, Prevailance Aerospace will provide Global customers with access to UPRT and LOC-I training. Vanessa Christie, Vice President of Strategic Development for Prevailance Aerospace commented, “Addressing LOC-I is paramount for every corporate flight department, every aviation safety program, and every pilot. We appreciate the emphasis that Global Aerospace has placed on incorporating this critical training into its SM4 program. Our methodical training approach complements Global’s existing programs with safe, dynamic, airborne training. Surprise and startle are very real elements of almost all aviation mishaps, and by conducting airborne training in a safe, controlled, and professional environment, each pilot will learn the required skills and techniques to recover from LOC-I situations in a repeatable and predictable way.”
