A Time for Change

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.

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,

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.

David M Jacobson

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.
