Jim Alsip lives and does business as Dylan Aviation in Indiantown, Florida. He is a master certified flight instructor with an aerobatic endorsement and is an International Aerobatic Club competitor as well as a judge for regional aerobatic contests. He holds seminars at the Sun-n-Fun Fly-In at Lakeland, Florida, and has spoken at the FAA's Lakeland Production Facility. He is also a charter member of the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators and an active FAA Safety Team Representative. Alsip has years of experience instructing pilots in an airplane with tandem seating. His greatest insight as an instructor is watching where a pilot is looking during maneuvers; having learned that the head and visual focus control the body, Alsip can then see what the pilot is missing. In his book Artistry of a Great Flyer , Alsip highlights stall, upset, and spin recovery along with rudder fundamentals that will save a pilot's life. See less
