We’re excited to be speaking at Ascend Flight Training Summit 2026 this September in Dallas.
Our Chief Flight Instructor, Rick Miller, will be presenting Student Personalities - And What To Do About Them, a topic that’s becoming increasingly important as aviation continues to shift and evolve. We’re Looking forward to exchanging ideas with peers across flight training, operations, and the broader aviation ecosystem.
The most valuable moments at events like this often happen outside the agenda, in the side conversations, shared challenges, and unexpected insights.
If you’re in aviation, this is one of those rooms you’ll want to be in.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of the conversation. Register today.
