Coordinated Response to Sideshows/Intersection Takeovers
This course is taught in-person at your agency privately to your aircrew members or as a regional event. Our goal is to teach in a “workshop” environment in which the students are encouraged to discuss topics, ask questions and debate fundamentals. As opposed to traditional boring “podium instructing” and “death by powerpoint”, our courses are informative and engaging which leads to better knowledge retention and learning buy-in. Students will debrief incidents by viewing actual mission videos.
