The aviation industry has five major stakeholders. Aircraft manufacturers, the airlines, the flying public, aviators in general, and the government. All of these players are focused on three simple things. Safety, quality, and competency. ‘Safety’ is a direct result of both quality and competency.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated, "Academics cannot substitute for actual flight experience." Many air mishaps have been attributed to a pilot’s lack of flight experience in what has been described as ‘Difficult Operating Conditions’.

Our desire is that one day, every flight will end with a safe outcome. This journey begins with quality training for our professional, as well as aspiring aviators. To instill competence in how to recognize, avoid, and if necessary, manage ‘difficult operating conditions’ when encountered. At Vantage Point Northwest Aviation, we can do it because we’ve done it.
