ATP Flight School is now offering the ATP CTP training program at its ATP Higher Power Aviation training center located near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. In compliance with the new FAA regulation that requires all pilots complete the ATP CTP course in order to qualify to take the ATP Airman Knowledge Test, this course combines ground and simulator training to prepare pilots for the commercial air carrier environment and is required training for the ATP Certificate. "The FAA's approval of our ATP CTP course ensures that our graduates, military pilots, corporate and charter pilots have access to the essential training required to prepare them for the FAA's highest certificate," said Phil Cooper, President, ATP Higher Power Aviation. The ATP CTP approval comes at a great time, as the airlines seek to find pilots due to the global pilot shortage. Learn more at ATPFlightSchool.com.

FlyThisSim hosted nonstop crowds of interested pilot prospects, potential flight school and aviation training program customers, and a steady stream of curious onlookers during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015. A record number of prospects and sales were recorded at the event, which featured the public debut of the new skills trainer with a 210-degree wide by 70-degree vertical display that exceeds FAA Level D standards. It was the centerpiece of a display that also included the TouchTrainer Standard, VisX, Visual Motion and TouchTrainer Robinson. One TouchTrainer can accurately reflect more than 110 aircraft/avionics combinations. That means pilots and instructors can train with simulators that look and fly like their aircraft. FlyThisSim plans to build on the momentum by participating in two additional upcoming trade events---the Cirrus Migration in Addison, Texas, September 10-13 at the InterContinental Dallas and at the FLYING Aviation Expo, October 15-17 at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, Calif.

FTS' products include:
• The TouchTrainer Standard, priced at $4,900. It can be used to maintain instrument currency and to stay sharp on aircraft normal and emergency procedures.
• The TouchTrainer VisX priced at $7,400. This package extends the use of the TouchTrainer into VFR training and mission rehearsal.
• The TouchTrainer VisualMotion, priced at $11,400. The ultimate visual system, this version shows what flying by attitude is all about. Its 1:1 correlation with aircraft pitch and roll angles enable accurate flight control.
• The TouchTrainer FM 210, priced at $30,000. Featuring a number of enhancements when compared to previous FlyThisSim Touch Trainers, virtually all of the FM 210's components and physical implementation techniques are new. The cockpit is reconfigurable between single or dual seat, center console, single engine or twin aircraft, yoke or side-stick, and vernier or lever throttles.

The new 210/70-degree visual system is designed to enhance the learning environment for landing, takeoff and other skills. The system provides a vertical field of view with correct aspect visual flow and motion cues, a 1:1 horizontal/vertical visual scaling, the depiction of 3D objects around the airfield with realistic depth perception, and bright displays that allow the eye to open up, which require high-resolution displays for accurate presentation.

Sun 'n Fun and the Aerospace Center for Excellence (A.C.E) recently completed another successful summer camp season. More than 130 students from nine states and the Bahamas experienced the thrill of aviation at the Sun 'n Fun Convention Campus. More than 40 students ranging in age from seven to 12 participated in a STEMtastic camp that covered daily themes in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Topics of interest included robotics, programming, airplanes, rocketry, wave forms, nature and more, and were conducted under the supervision of certified State of Florida teachers. The Destination Aviation camp worked with more than 90 students ranging from 11 to 18 years of age. Students experienced taking control of an airplane under the supervision of a flight instructor during the camp. "The purpose of our camps is to let these young individuals experience the thrill of aviation and be introduced into the aerospace industry," said A.C.E. Executive Director Robb Williams. "With our camps, we lay the groundwork for a natural progression of both knowledge and interest level into the aerospace industry." Next year's STEMtastic and Destination Aviation camps are scheduled for June 20 through August 5, 2016.

When Daniel Coury Sr., one of the hangar owners at Pegasus Airpark in Queen Creek, Ariz., needed several new hangar doors, he turned to Schweiss Doors of Hector, Minn. Coury was introduced to Schweiss Doors when he bought a couple of hangars that featured the company's bifold doors. Coury said he was impressed with the quality of Schweiss Doors as well as the reputation of the company. He was sold on bifold doors over hydraulic doors, and since Schweiss was the only manufacturer that offers bifold doors with straps, the choice was easy. "We have winds here called haboob," he said. "We had one recently where the wind got up to 49 mph. If that wind hits, look out." Coury prefers the bifold liftstrap/autolatch door because it allows him the ability to park aircraft or vehicles closer to the doors. Visit schweissdoors.com, bifold.com.
