EMT® Program
“It’s The Right Attitude!”
Featuring Rich’s Renowned Building Block Training Techniques
Three Specialized Training Modules, Each One Including:
3 hours of Ground plus 3 hours of Flight Instruction spread over 4 LessonsThe EMT® Program has been taught to aviators ranging in experience from student pilots to airline captains, from corporate pilots to military test pilots. EMT® students come from around the world: from across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; from Australia, Indonesia, and Japan; from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland — all to experience a program designed to expand their flying skills as well as to have as much fun as one can in an airplane. Just read some of the comments from former students, then have a look at the Program syllabus:
“Rigorous, challenging, and exciting . . . perhaps the best training I have yet had.” –B. Gruber, AOPA Pilot magazine
“Emergency Maneuver Training is the best kind of life insurance; it helps you avoid having an accident.” –M. Rozanski, Hot Kits & Homebuilts magazine
“An educating and eye-opening experience with applications to real life situations.” –A. Laboda, Sport Pilot magazine
“It truly was the pinnacle of my student pilot training.” –L. Miller, private pilot
“I learned more comparatively in one week than many other years combined.” –R. Johnston, Fish & Wildlife Service
