✈️ We’re thrilled to be at the SCAA Safety Standdown 2026!

If you’re attending, stop by and visit Devan and Otter to experience our VR upset prevention & recovery demo firsthand and talk all things pilot preparedness, resilience, and Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) mitigation.

Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made our freedoms possible, and we are deeply grateful. From all of us at APS, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day.
