The Landing Doctor
In 1992, Lou Mancuso "The Landing Doctor" authored the booklet "Personal Limitations Checklist: Expert Decision Making... Think Like a Pro." It is a collection of true aviation stories and the lessons learned from them. In 2018, Lou founded Sebring Flight Academy with the goal of incorporating these lessons into the flight training environment to make the next generation of safe pilots in both the professional and general aviation worlds. To this end, we follow his Landing Doctor Code as our safety mantra.
Developed over thousands of hours of flying, instruction, and with decades of refinement, the Landing Doctor Code was created with one goal in mind: to create a safer pilot. The time-tested procedures and principles presented within this Code are designed to supplement any pilot’s training, for a pilot that stops learning can never grow. We firmly believe that any pilot, from the green to the 10,000-hour Captain, can always improve and refine their skills. We all strive for a safer industry, and The Landing Doctor Code is just one tool to help achieve that lofty goal. It is more than a Code, it is a way of thinking, a technique of flying, and a guide to every pilot.
Master and Commander
To become the master and commander of your aircraft requires time, dedication, perseverance, patience, and practice. Very few pilots will ever be able to hop into an unfamiliar airplane and nail their landing the first time around. Just like how every pilot is unique, so is every plane, and so it becomes important to familiarize yourself with each and every aircraft you fly, and one of the best ways to do so is to utilize a ground proximity awareness technique. The goal of our ground proximity awareness (GPA) training is to produce a pilot who knows the feel characteristics of their airplane so well that they can consistently land safely in gusty crosswind conditions. The basics of GPA training are rather simple, and before you go fly your fancy new aeroplane with your loved ones, consider completing a few laps using GPA first. Our team of highly experienced flight instructors are committed to providing the highest quality of flight instruction. Our instructors have thousands of hours of flight experience and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals.
