Aviation Performance Solutions (APS) is proud to announce that all its upset recovery training instructors across the United States in Arizona, Texas, and Alabama are now Master Certified Flight Instructors, another record unmatched in the aviation industry.

Advanced pilot instructor Emmanuel “Manu” Remy is the most recent APS instructor to achieve the Master Certificated Flight Instructor designation, with the additional Aerobatic distinction (MCFI-A), accredited by Master Instructors LLC. This achievement is just one component of the extensive training and experience required of APS advanced instructor pilots who teach fully comprehensive upset prevention and recovery training (UPRT). Manu's accreditation makes him the 11th MCFI-A currently providing UPRT at APS.

Emmanuel “Manu” Remy was born and raised in Paris, France. His extensive and interesting aviation background includes time as an instructor pilot specialising in aerobatics and emergency manoeuvre training and international flying dropping sterile cattle flies for a USDA contract. He also spent over 10 years as an airline pilot and then was selected by the Experimental Aircraft Association to instruct at the headquarters of the world's biggest airshow, Air Venture, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The MCFI achievement is a national, FAA recognised accreditation earned through a rigorous process of continuing professional activity and peer review. The accreditation must be renewed biennially and signifies a true commitment to excellence and safety of flight operations. Master Instructors LLC relates, “Simply put, the Master Instructor designation is a means by which to identify those outstanding aviation educators, those teachers of flight who are demonstrating an ongoing commitment to excellence, professional growth and service to the aviation community.”

“Because safety of operations and highly qualified instructors are the key to effective, life-saving upset prevention and recovery training, APS has set the standard for instructor training and qualification,“ says Paul BJ Ransbury, president of Aviation Performance Solutions. “Along with the achievement of MCFI-A status and extensive background experience, APS instructor pilots receive in-house UPRT-specific training according to industry best practices and proven, standardised techniques. APS instructors are the most qualified in the world to teach UPRT.”
