On Saturday, April 13 Captain Sam Elarnaouty and
First Officer Neville Scott flew into LAF for Purdue Aviation Day! They were joined by our agent Madyson Hunter, who helped folks board the plane and get a feel for the Southern Experience!
The first Purdue Aviation Day was held in 1911 on a grass landing strip near the present-day Elliot Hall. Nearly 17,000 spectators from the region gathered to watch two biplanes take to the sky.
This annual event is now organized exclusively by student leaders within Purdue University’s School of Aviation & Transportation Technology, Purdue Aviation Day (PAD) seeks to bring the industry and the Greater Lafayette community together in one big celebration of aviation.

We are honored to provide commercial air service to Purdue University's Airport LAF and to partner with a true aviation legend.
Want to know how Purdue has shaped aviation from the Heartland? In this podcast, leaders from Purdue University's Aviation and Transportation Technology department (Adam Baxmeyer, Ryan Wynkoop, and Tom Carney) share insights on Purdue's nearly 100 years of aviation excellence and what the future holds as they continue to teach global aviation leaders in their largest classroom on campus, Purdue University Airport (LAF). Take a listen!
This is your captain speaking — by flying out of the Purdue University Airport, you’ll experience shorter lines, reduced travel time and pay just $5 per day for parking. ✈️
On our latest #ThisIsPurdue episode, hear more about the advantages of new commercial flight service at West Lafayette/Purdue University Airport (LAF), plus the history behind how Purdue Aviation has become a leader in aviation education.

APS's High Altitude Jet Upset Training Program Gets Video Feature by Aviation International News! Academics, S211, Advanced Simulation, and VR
👋 Hey there, aviation jet pilot professionals! We've got something special for you today. AIN writer Capt. Kipp Lau and videographer Ian Whelan put together a powerful video series (Part 2 below) that dives into the world of advanced jet pilot training to mitigate every jet pilot's #1 fatal risk, Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I). You'll enjoy these eye-opening clips (video in Kipp's post below) that bring elements of their recent article to life - article link: https://bit.ly/44wBJG7
Article Summary: A Higher Level of Upset Training with APS
The Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) High Altitude Jet Upset Training program is a game-changer for professional jet pilots. This comprehensive program includes a high-altitude training flight in APS's SIAI-Marchetti S211, an all-attitude, glass cockpit, swept-wing jet trainer. But that's just the beginning.
🎯 Key Takeaways
1. Addressing the Real Risks: Loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) events are the leading cause of fatal aircraft accidents. APS's program aims to equip pilots with the skills to prevent and recover from such upsets.
2. Beyond Simulators: While simulators are useful, they can't fully replicate the psychophysiological effects of a real-world upset. APS's program integrates advanced simulation and on-aircraft training to address this gap.
3. Customized Training: The program is tailored to the specific needs of each pilot or company, ensuring that the training is as relevant as possible. It even includes a type-specific session in the participant's own day-to-day aircraft using Virtual Reality (VR) to maximize UPRT skills transfer.
4. Holistic Approach: APS's program is based on the "Every Pilot in Control Solution Standard" (EPIC-S2), which integrates six critical factors, including instructor qualifications, program duration, and industry best practices.
5. Long-term Commitment: APS provides initial and recurrent UPRT training, ensuring pilots maintain their skills over time. Multi-year pilot team packages for corporate flight departments are common to maximize the operator's training budget and program design flexibility and to boost their SMS to comprehensively mitigate LOC-I.
🤔 Food for Thought
- Is your current training comprehensive enough to 'actually' prepare you for real-world upsets?
- Are you taking advantage of powerhouse UPRT solutions that fully address your LOC-I risk, with all necessary training platforms, all at one training location, in just one 3-day training event?
- Are you ready to take your pilot training to the next level with APS's High Altitude Jet Upset Training program?
APS's High Altitude Jet Upset Training program equips you with the skills to navigate the most challenging situations. Fly safe, everyone! ✈️🌟

As promised, here's the continuation of my visit to Aviation Performance Solutions, the UPRT specialist, in Mesa, AZ. In Part 2, we fly the Marchetti S.211 above FL300 to explore high altitude upsets. A must for any pilot flying high-performance aircraft.
[Again, fantastic work by AIN's Ian Whelan!]
Worldwide College of Aviation Associate Professor, Dr. Linda Vee Weiland, took some time to share insights and her experience within the air traffic industry.
"Students should look at the industry to find role models and mentors. Specifically, to get into air traffic control or management," said Dr. Weiland. Read the conversation here: https://bit.ly/4a8zFrx#GoERAU
"We need to learn something, not just talk about it"
This was an objective that was clear for us and for EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency from the initial concept of WORC24. That is why I am so excited about this partnership with the University of Southampton. It is also a demonstration of a longer relationship that we have had with the Department of Decision Analytics and Risk through our sponsorship of a PhD, conducted by Stanislav Bukhman and supervised by Prof. Mario P. Brito, focusing on probabilistic methods of risk analysis. Both of these leading experts will be speaking at WORC24.
The other key objective we had was that WORC24 is not to be a stand alone event, for which the conversation stops the moment everyone leaves the conference and doesn't start again until the next one. The partnership with UoS will deliver on-going and continuous conversation beyond the conference. We will be co-authoring a white paper on the key outcomes and recommendations from the conference and we are looking to run academic workshops focusing on quantification of mitigation from expert opinion in the months following WORC24. This is what conferences should be - a platform for industry engagement that facilitates and enables further conversation and development.
Thank you to UoS Department of Decision Analytics and Risk. Looking forward to developing this partnership even further and looking forward to seeing everyone in Warsaw. More exciting news on the educational side to come...
