Lancair, High Performance Aircraft
Training host ground school
High Performance Aircraft Training, in conjunction with Lancair
International, Inc. hosted its third Ground School on May 16, 2004
in New Braunsfels, Texas. The event was attended by 17 people
of which six also went through Recurrency Training.
Pete Zaccagino, the president of High Performance Aircraft
Training of Flemington, NJ taught the Ground School. "As
insurance companies look at writing policies they are going to
start requiring a program like this," said Zaccagino. By attending
High Performance Aircraft Training's ground school, course
attendees receive vital information that is specific to the Lancair
fleet.
A brief discussion at the beginning of the class is given on
aerodynamics and how the Lancair aircraft is unique among other
aircraft types. The course goes on to cover stall information
on each type of Lancair, situational awareness, accident avoidance,
GPS and WAAS, and weather.
"I learned more in 3 hours of Ground School then I did the
entire time I was taking flying lessons," states Julie Townsend, a
recent attendee. Pilots since 1980, she and her husband
Albert recently purchased a Lancair ES. Prior to owning their
ES, they flew a Cessna 210 for 15 years. Based out of Uvalde (TX),
the Townsend's also participated in Recurrency Training.
High Performance Aircraft Training will offer its next course at
the annual Labor Day weekend fly-in at the Lancair factory in
Redmond, Oregon on Friday, September 3, 2004. To register for
Ground School or Recurrency Training, please contact David Hickman
