CP Aviation, Inc. has awarded an Emergency Maneuver Training (EMT) scholarship to Adam Gillhom of Valley Village, CA.
The flight school, based in Santa Paula, is known throughout the world for their specialized training curriculum, originally developed in 1987. CP Aviation is the home of two Master CFI-Aerobatics, who have also been awarded National CFI of the Year by the FAA, Rich Stowell (2006), and Judy Phelps (2011).
The scholarship, now in its fifth year, is awarded each summer to a recipient who is a member of the IAC, holds a pilot’s certificate, and wishes to pursue unusual attitude and basic aerobatic training. The scholarship is offered in memory of Santa Paula aerobatic champion Vicki Cruse, a member of the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team and was President of the IAC.
Gillhom is a Private Pilot with an Instrument Rating who is currently working on his Commercial and plans to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). He was inspired to pursue aviation after seeing two F-16s take off from Hickam AFB and well the rest is history.
The training is conducted in Citabria and Decathlon airplanes. The emphasis of the course is on creating safer pilots. The program is broken down into three modules: Stall Spin Awareness, In Flight Emergencies, and Basic Aerobatics.
