Rated for +/- 10 G’s and offering 300 horsepower, the Extra 300L not only allows pilots the ability to test the edges of the flight envelop in a safe environment but also gives the experience flying one of the most high-performance aerobatic aircraft in the world.


Introduction to Spins and Safety (1-Day Course)

This is a one-day introduction to the basics of aviation safety through an academic ground session followed by an instructional flight. Geared towards general aviation pilots and student pilots interested in getting their feet wet in the realm of aviation safety training, this course not only reviews very basic aerodynamics, slow flight, stalls and spins but also touches on the human factors issues that are highlighted in case studies and videos used during the academic block of the training.

Basic Upset and Safety Training (2-Day Course)

This two-day safety course (2 Academic and Flight Blocks per day) allows the general aviation pilot to safely explore the edges of the flight envelop while increasing their awareness and ability to be the safest pilot they can be. With a strong focus on human factors and general aerodynamics, review of numerous case studies and allowing the student to experiment with stalls, spins and upset recoveries, this course assists pilots in attaining a deeper understanding of aviation safety while increasing their piloting skills and overall confidence in the cockpit.

Advanced Safety and Introduction to Aerobatics Training (3 Day Course)

This three-day course (2 Academic and Flight Blocks per day) is designed to allow pilots who have already completed the Basic Aviation Safety Training to continue into more advanced spins and upsets as well as an introduction to aerobatic flying at the primary and/or sportsman level (customer preference).

Flight Safety Training for the UAV Pilot and Flight Test Engineer (Under Development)

This safety course is being designed specifically with UAV instructors/flight test engineers in mind. This 3-day course (2 Academic and Flight Blocks per day) includes review of issues particular to loss of control of UAV’s, high altitude upsets and human factors that play a particular role in unmanned operations. Through multiple academic sessions and Extra 300L training flights, students are able to safely explore the flight envelop as well as gain a deeper understanding of the testing that goes into the development of new UAV platforms. Additionally for FAA certificated pilots, this course will increase stick and rudder skills and pilot confidence.
