Epic Moves DC-7 to Prepare for New Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician School
Epic recently relocated its decommissioned DC-7 to make way for expansion. We are breaking ground for our new Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician School, which will open in the spring of 2020 if everything continues on schedule. What a great way to celebrate our 20 years in operation!
We invite you to join our Epic Flight Academy online PILOT FORUM to discuss pilot topics, ask questions, and get to know each other. The forum is a great place to start your pilot career!

Go-Arounds: That is the question!
“To Go-Around or not to Go-Around, that is the question. However, there are some questions pilots should ask themselves before making this decision much sooner than the final approach. Safe pilots should ask themselves, ‘Is the landing checklist complete?’ and ‘Is the approach stabilized?’”
Read the latest article by Captain Judy Rice, Epic Flight Academy Ground School Instructor. She addresses one of the most important concepts in flight training: Pilot Go-Arounds.
