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.

Jacobson Flare App for iPad Cleared for Take-off

We 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

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.

The Jacobson Flare App for the iPad Launch Imminent

Well, the wait is almost over. The Jacobson Flare App is now completed and is currently undergoing a final review by our test team, prior to a planned launch on the App Store on (or very close to) 1 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.

Final pricing is under consideration, but will be kept low, 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.
