Captain David Butt: ‘Your app certainly has come together beautifully’

08.08.2014 , what-other-pilots-say

Captain Dave Jacobson spent many years as an instructor and Training Captain refining his ideas on how to land aircraft ranging in size from small piston engine light aircraft up to large passenger jets.

After several years of hard work he has produced a useful application that should be in every flying training organisations’ suite of learning and teaching aids. There is plenty of detail, actual videos, and great artwork.

I use his aim point calculators as part of my approach preparation every time I go to a new airport, or to refresh my memory for a less frequently used runway.

If any pilot chooses to purchase this application just for the interactive aim point calculators it contains, it would still be a great buy. I commend it to pilots of all aircraft types.

Paul Phelan Writes – ‘Happier Landings’

03.08.2014 , media

Here is a link to Paul Phelan’s latest article, ‘Happier Landings’. Paul is a veteran aviation journalist, who has closely followed the steady progress of the Jacobson Flare since attending David Jacobson’s Cairns presentation of the Australia-wide CASA Flight Safety Seminar Series, in 1997. He wrote the articles published in Australian Flying and Flight International magazines, in early 1998. He now operates his freelance blog page, Pro Aviation – Sharp End Aviation News and Features

In his recent research, Paul conversed with Air Commodore John Chesterfield RAAF (Ret’d), our ‘Godfather to the Jacobson Flare’, who is one our staunchest supporters and practitioners.

A Time for Change

30.07.2014 , news

A Time for Change

My principal objectives have always been to improve pilot competence and confidence in landing to enhance flight safety, world-wide, through The Jacobson Flare – the unique and quantifiable explanation of what pilots have been trying to achieve by ‘feel’ and guesswork, with widely-varying results, for over 100 years.

My principal challenge has been that, while I have developed a solution (since 1987), world aviation still hasn’t realised that it has a problem!

Since 1987, the unique application of The Jacobson Flare has vanquished the imprecise aspects of landing an aeroplane, unchanged since the end of World War 1. Everything else in aviation had advanced since 1918, but NOT landing training.

After 30 years, technology has enabled me to bypass the slow traffic and present the Jacobson Flare app for iPad directly to those who have always known that guesswork and repetition is not good enough for the most precise manoeuvre pilots are required to execute.

So this is a call to supporters of the Jacobson Flare to start asking questions and to challenge those entrenched, tired and obsolete attitudes.

The Jacobson Flare app for iPad is the best resource, yet, to assist in effecting a change around the world and the great news is that change is now occurring.

TJF App Short Review: Terry Boocock PPL

Some great feedback from experienced PPL Terry Boocock, to my brother, John Jacobson:

To: John Jacobson
Subject: Re: Introducing officially: ‘THE JACOBSON FLARE’

Hello John,

I now have my copy – obtained from the App Store.

My first scan read opinion is – fabulous technical (yet simplified) detail combined with the tidiest app method I have come across.

David has an impressive product in this further extension of his mission to formalise the skill of consistent safe landings.

Cheers,
