Hello Ron
and the gang,
Hope all
is going well. Thanks again for the great training; it has paid off.
I now work at UPS as a Long Range International Operations planner,
which required a Dispatch License, and 3 years of international experience.
You have the best training I have seen for
dispatchers, and I am thankful for that. Keep up the good
work.
Thanks
again,

Dear Ron,
Eric, and Brett,
Thank you
so much for allowing us to attend your ETOPS class. I thought Brett
did an outstanding job of presenting the material and it was presented
at exactly the level I needed. It is obvious you guys have a passion
for what you do. That is great to see. Keep up the good work! Thank
you also for your hospitality while we were in town. It was very kind
of you to make us feel so welcome.

Our
1 day ETOPS Course immediately follows the Advanced
International Flight Planning Course.
This
course is also designed to be useful for those who may want to work
for an airline which operates over oceanic and desert (or other isolated)
routes.

"...I am still in the dispatch world working for ---- Airlines
out of ---. It is more challenging than my previous job with ----,
as now I dispatch 737s, 757s, and 767s all over the world. Other
new hires have been assigned domestic flights only, while I have
advanced to international flights. I attribute
this to the excellent training I received at Sheffield..."
Thanks again,

- ETOPS
training originated when the FAA decided to grant permission for the
airlines to operate twin-engine aircraft, such as the B-757's, Airbus,
etc. over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, or desolate areas. The
operation originally applied to two-engine airplanes flying more than
60 minutes from the nearest adequate airport, but now includes three-
or four-engine airplanes flying more than 180 minutes from the nearest
adequate airport.
-
- In
order for this approval to be granted to the airlines by the FAA,
one of the requirements is an approved training program for the pilots,
dispatchers, and other company personnel. Our first ETOPS class took
place on the weekend of July 11, 1992, which made Sheffield School
the first school, outside the major airlines, to offer this type
of advanced aviation training.
-
- We
highly recommend attending this course while you're in town; however,
we certainly welcome back any Sheffield graduates who decide to attend
this course at a later date.The class date will normally be on Sunday
following the Advanced
International Flight Planning course. This is a full ETOPS
course with practical applications, computer application, and a live
instructor - not a half-day "point and click" CBT course
with no discussion.
Cost:
1
day $200.00 [$400.00
for non-Sheffield graduates]
($100.00
nonrefundable deposit will reserve a seat in the class.)
New
for 2008:
FREE
ETOPS course for Sheffield Graduates when enrolled in both AIFP &
EWINS!
We
can't exchange 8-10 hours of ETOPS (primarily non-licensing) material
for licensing material. Understandably, some students feel no need
to take the ETOPS course due to their current place of employment.
Some prefer to take the course at a later date. We provide an option
for our graduates to take this course. We prefer to work through the
weekend to allow everyone a chance to return home as soon as possible.
You may sign up for this course with or without
Advanced International Training any
time prior to (or during) the 6-week course.
