We just finished a fantastic two weeks with the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG) where the ASG team delivered our 11th Search & Rescue tasking and co-ordination (SATAC) course as part of our partnership with Ireland’s SAR and Maritime Safety Agency.

The IRCG’s mission is to deliver a world class SAR, maritime casualty, and pollution response service to the Irish coastline. We were also delighted to welcome visiting participants from His Majesty's Coastguard (UK), and the Irish Police Garda Air Support Unit (GASU).

Some of the subjects included: Operational Risk Management, Meteorology, Navigation and map-reading, Principles of Flight / Mass & Balance, Flight Planning, Air Law, Communications, Operational Procedures, Human Factors and Crew Resource Management (CRM), SAR Operations, Fatigue Risk Management and Flight Time Limitations.

We are very proud to be assisting Ireland's front line services with critical training of this nature. The Irish Coast Guard which co-ordinates all Search and Rescue (SAR) services for Ireland 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

Although our revision classes are timed to take place just before the Irish Aviation Authority’s (IAA) exams, our students (who can even choose to attend our classes from anywhere in the world) can receive their ATO sign-off from us to complete their exams under any EASA authority (e.g. AustroControl, Swiss FOCA, ENAC, DGAC, etc).

We limit the number of students permitted in our classes to ensure an appropriate level of quality and personal attention for each student. As such, places are strictly allocated on a first come, first served basis.

ASG's hybrid class provides students with the ultimate flexibility to attend classes remotely or in-class

1/2/2022

We provide our ATPL students with the ultimate flexibility when choosing how they would like to attend their ATPL revision classes with us. They can attend your revision classes physically, remotely, or both.

For our remote learners, we have invested significantly in technology and training to ensure the most effective possible remote learning environment for those who decide to attend classes in this way. In order to ensure a fantastic classroom experience, our classroom is equipped with 4K definition webcams, RØDE broadcast quality microphones, a dedicated instructor login station, and a classroom facing flat-screen display where the faces of those attending remotely will even be displayed to the students who are attending physically so that everyone feels part of our classroom environment. We have conducted a lot of research in trying to improve the student experience and out instructors have received specific training in the delivery of training to a hybrid audience i.e. with some students physically attending and others attending remotely.

Each one of our ATPL instructors are selected for their practical industry experience and expertise in their theoretical domains. While many ATO's use their day-to-day flight instructors for ATPL instruction, by using subject matter experts (directly from industry) we can focus on providing the highest quality of training. We hire directly from the aviation industry and our instructors include: current airline pilots, type rating instructors, aircraft and avionics technicians, human factors specialists, military pilot instructors, aeronautical engineers, and air traffic controllers.
