The award-winning video, Normal Approach and Landing combines cinema quality video production with 3D motion graphics, special effects and professional voiceover and is part of a series of innovative flight training media that have garnered nearly 3.6 million views and over 32,000 YouTube subscribers in the last two years.

“When learning to fly, the normal approach and landing can be one of the most challenging maneuvers to master. It is one that students will spend the rest of their careers perfecting,” said Mark Avellino, head of the video production group and an Embry–Riddle graduate. “This video is some of our best work. It presents a difficult skill to master as an entertaining and informative learning experience.”
