WORST CASE SCENARIO is a thrilling 2 hour flying experience where you will learn how to handle one of the most challenging emergency scenarios in aviation; the engine failure. You’ll be tutored under the careful instruction and watchful eye of an expert flight instructor so you don’t need previous flying experience or ground school training.
With modern innovation and technology engine failures are very rare, but when they do happen you need to be prepared! Perhaps you can remember the story of the Airbus A320 landing in the Hudson River not long ago, after loosing both engines from bird impacts shortly after take off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The captain who successfully landed the airplane on the river with zero injuries to passengers and crew, Captain Sullenberger (Sully), is now looked upon as a hero for his ability to be calm under pressure, and carry out the necessary actions in this emergency situation. Anyone can achieve this ability with a little practice, and that’s exactly what we are going to do!
