With the introduction of the new aircraft we will work together with YO Mi Camara to obtain the most spectacular footage. The YO Mi camera is a state of the art product, specially tailored for use in the most extreme circumstances. All we need, I would say…..
This camera is without a doubt the best product around for use in any extreme sport. It can be mounted just about everywhere and is very easy to use. The camera is small and with the built in laser it can be set very accurately.

And the latest development is the YO Mi 3D camera. Does it get any better? We will keep you updated on our findings….

Starting the 2012 season Bose Aviation is supplying the team with the new A20 Aviation headset.
The A20 headset features breakthrough innovations to reduce more noise and provide greater comfort, without compromising the clear audio you expect from Bose. It also includes an auxiliary audio input and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

We will of course use this headset in the most extreme circumstances and are very happy that we can rely on the superior quality of Bose!

Like aerobatics, being a good instructor is an art. Instruction can be very rewarding but also presents quite some challenges for the instructor.
But after the initial instructors course there’s often not a lot of guidance on how to do the job right.

In the manifest I’ve written I hope to give you some answers to instucting, but also to managing other people in a more effective way. You can download this manifest for free by clicking on the page in the sidebar. I hope you enjoy the read and would really appreciate your comments.

When training new instructors I often ask myself the question “what makes a good instructor?”
Over the years I’ve seen many instructors doing the job for the wrong reasons.

A good instructor should leave his ego at home!! They should be dedicated to improve their trainee’s performance. Apart from the actual flying most of this is achieved by effective briefings and debriefings.

The art is not to tell somebody what he did right or wrong, but to analyse the underlying cause, make sure the trainee understands this and then give the trainee tools to improve. This is hard work but it’s also why instructing in aviation is very rewarding. And it makes you a better pilot too, which is maybe something to help your ego….
