Thank You – and p.s., Please Spread the Word

25.07.2014 , marketing

This is just a quick note to say a big thank you to each and every one of our many TJF supporters, world-wide, especially those who have subscribed through our website, <www.jacobsonflare.com>.

Some of you have been with me since 1985. Without your interest, encouragement and support, there would have been no Jacobson Flare app in July 2014! We are now officially live on the App Store and the response to date is fantastic.

Perhaps you have a friend or a family member who flies, or maybe you know a dedicated young person who is learning – or wanting to learn – to fly. You could help them significantly and support promotion of the Jacobson Flare at the same time.

I wish to ask a personal favour:  Please, share our website link https://www.jacobsonflare.com; or Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jacobsonflare; or any comment you would like to share from it?  As you know, social media plays a big part in direct communication, these days, so we would really appreciate your help, now! After thirty years, this app can really make a difference for world aviation and we want to spread the word.

Thank you.

A380 landings with The Jacobson Flare

App Store (Australia) Review – The Jacobson Flare App – Captain Gary Gould

24.07.2014 , what-other-pilots-say

Gary Gould Aust 140724

David,

Congratulations on the publishing of your “Jacobson Flare” app. It is indeed a valuable addition to any pilot’s flight bag.

The app is, quite literally, a work of art in itself. But the most important part is the message it carries. For any pilot, and in particular student pilots, this app will prove to be a real gem. It is filled with methods of getting the final approach path and landing correct, then backing it up with those fabulous videos. From light aircraft at small country airfields to heavy jets at major airports.

It is something for all aviators.

I particularly enjoyed Chapter 6 “Reviewing and Troubleshooting” which allows the pilot to discover why a particular landing did not go quite as planned. The detail provided in the app is thorough, but at the same time an individual can go into this detail as far as they care to and still get the message.

Runway markings, visual aids, landing calculators for various types of aircraft – it is all there. Wonderful!

I recommend this app to any pilot who wants a greater understanding of the landing manoeuvre.

Kind Regards,

Gary Gould
Captain A380

Jacobson Flare App for iPad Cleared for Take-off

18.07.2014 , news

IMG_0254We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Jacobson Flare app for the iPad, on the App Store.

The results of this two-year project are reflected in the design and attention to detail – just two hallmarks of this stylish presentation.

The Jacobson Flare app for the iPad is more than the equivalent of a 350-page book; versatile and interactive, it totally replaces earlier and widely acclaimed presentations of the Jacobson Flare Paper, “Where to Flare” and its attendant files.

The price is AUD$29.99 (USD$23.99) making the Jacobson Flare app for the iPad accessible to younger student pilots, who have committed themselves to enough expense already in pursuing their dreams to fly. Indeed this app can save money, at any level of training.

Pilots and training organisations reduce the expense of flying extra hours, previously necessary while students get the ‘hang’ and the ‘feel’ of landing their first or their next airplane. Instead of using trial and error techniques devolved from World War One, pilots are introduced to a complete yet simple system of landing, to be applied not just at the elementary stage, but throughout a whole career.

The Jacobson Flare is comprehensive yet practical, simple to master and extremely effective. Since 1985, it has been adopted by hundreds of civil and military pilots of various ages, abilities and experience, in many airplane types ranging from sailplanes (gliders) and single-engine light airplanes to large jet transports.

The Jacobson Flare app for the iPad addresses obvious differences between airplanes but embraces their similarities. It supports the need for a basic system of flight training that may be adapted as necessary to meet specific requirements. Its universal application is long overdue and this app presents the Jacobson Flare clearly and concisely, as never before.

Coming Soon: The Jacobson Flare App for the iPad

12.07.2014 , news

Well, the wait is almost over. The Jacobson Flare App is completed and is currently undergoing the final review process by the Apple review team, prior to a planned launch on the App Store. This should be completed soon, hopefully in this month of July 2014.

This two-year project has consumed thousands of hours and the initial feedback is that this effort is very much reflected in the presentation and attention to detail – just two hallmarks of this stylish presentation.

The content is the equivalent of a 350-page book, but is far more versatile and interactive. It replaces all previous versions of The Jacobson Flare Paper.

Final pricing has been kept low, at A$29.99 (US$ 23.99), to make the Jacobson Flare App for the iPad more accessible to younger student pilots, who have committed themselves to enough expense already in pursuing their dreams to fly. Indeed this app can save money.

Pilots and training organisations can reduce the expense of flying extra hours, previously necessary while students get the ‘hang’ and the ‘feel’ of landing an airplane. Instead of using trial and error techniques devolved from World War One, pilots are introduced to a complete yet simple system of landing, to be applied not just at the elementary stage, but right through a whole career.

The launch is imminent, so please stay tuned – and thank you for your interest.
