Case Study - Angle Of Attack | TracPlus Case Study

THE CHALLENGE

Often operates in remote regions with inexperienced pilots

As a flight school operating in Alaska, inexperienced pilots who are still learning the ways of flying are bound to find themselves in remote regions with little-to-none reception available. Because of this, it was critical that Angle of Attack had a solution which could provide total coverage.

INTRODUCTION

Alaska is home to some of the most remote terrain on Earth. From soaring mountain ranges to frozen tundra, it’s spectacularly beautiful — but it’s not particularly hospitable when it comes to communication infrastructure. This poses quite the conundrum for Alaskan aviators like Chris Palmer, who runs a flight school called Angle of Attack in the tiny town of Homer, roughly 350 kilometres of Anchorage.

Angle of Attack offers online ground schools, checkride prep, and flight training for aspiring pilots, with an emphasis on navigating remote locations — and they use TracPlus to keep track of and communicate with their people and aircraft while they’re in the skies. Check out what Chris had to say about the value TracPlus brings to his business.
