The 47th AOPTU prepares student pilots to land a career in flight
Pilots from Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training class 20-05 gather around the swing and decent landing trainer, watching Airman 1st Class Ashley Davis 47th Aerospace Operational and Physiology Training Unit logistics and maintenance technician, demonstrate a landing on Jan. 17, 2019, at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas. The trainer acts like a parachute in decent, and the pilot students are able to use the techniques of rolling and making five points of contact and unclipping the quick-release while being dragged.
