Advanced Hovercraft Pilot and Maintenance Training
Take your hovercraft piloting skills and mechanical proficiency to the next level with Advanced Hovercraft Pilot and Maintenance Training. Dig deeper into the principles of flight during ground instruction and refine more technically advanced skills during flight training. Master advanced turning and reverse thrust techniques for optimal maneuverability in a variety of terrains and conditions (swift water, narrow waterways, obstacle courses, steep inclines, and more); become more adept at avoiding plow-ins; experiment with hump performance in overload; and experience hovercraft operation in extreme environmental conditions. Advanced certification requires successful completion of thorough skills and comprehension tests.
Earn the Advanced Hovercraft Pilot Certificate, gain hours of pilot experience, and immediately apply hovercraft in your work.
