COPA Safety and Education Foundation / COPA University
 
 
The COPA Safety and Education Foundation is a non-profit foundation whose main objective is to provide continuing education and to increase safety for general aviation pilots. The foundation and its activities are aimed at all general aviation pilots and aircraft, especially pilots flying so-called "Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) - i.e. aircraft equipped with at least a combination of GPS navigators and autopilots.

COPA Pilot Proficiency Program (CPPP)
The COPA Training Foundation organizes recurrent training with General Aviation ground courses and Aircraft-specific flight instruction during a weekend of socializing with like-minded owners and their partners. Many COPA members choose to make CPPP a key part of their annual or biannual training.

Jeppesen offers members a discout of 20% on navigation and chart subscriptions.

The COPA University Simulator Laboratory

The COPA University laboratory workshop uses the latest versions of the RealSimGear Procedure Trainers. The simulated aircraft can be configured with various avionics, including the Avidyne Entegra cockpit with Garmin GNS430 and GTN650 navigators, or the Garmin Perspective and Perspective+ systems. Expect much improved simulation over the previous trainers !

 

In addition, an Avidyne R9 Procedure Trainer can be made available upon prior request.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

A new sim session, Loading, Activating, and Executing Instrument Approaches, reviews best practices for approach planning, and give participants a "Better Approach to their Approach". They then will have the opportunity to fly three different instrument approaches to increase their knowledge and proficiency. Or go for the Systems Malfunction and Emergency Training sim sessions and learn how to control your airplane in difficult situations.

 

There will be four procedure trainers at this CPPP event and slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

 

 
Partner in Command Course
The CPPP offers a Partner-in-Command course on Saturday morning for right-seat flyers. The PIC course has received rave reviews from partners who leave better prepared to survive an emergency and help their flying partner. Many CPPP participants wish they had invited their partners because of the positive impact on their partners. Partners will also receive a sim session for hands-on practice of what they learned in the PIC course.
