Aerial Target Interdiction at this link

Our ATI course will take students into an aerial platform and train them in multiple methods of aerial marksmanship. Students will engage targets from multiple methods of approach which include at a hover, a standard gun run & at a serpentine approach. This course will create shooters that can engage targets ACCURATELY and EXPEDITIOUSLY from an aerial platform.

“In this course, students will go through a classroom phase, a ground school phase and the Aerial Target Interdiction phase. 
In the classroom portion students will go through orientation. This consists of familiarization of the range,  safety considerations, aerial marksmanship, aircraft safety, and actions on the HLZ. Immediately following the classroom, students will head out side to the helicopter and receive the aircraft safety brief from the pilots to ensure maximum safety throughout the course. 
The “Ground School” phase consists of students learning multiple shooting positions for aerial marksmanship. This is conducted on a static helicopter on the ground with multiple targets. Students will go through the hand signals for commence fire, cease fire and shift fire to a new target. Malfunctions, target transitions and mag changes are some of the objectives taught in this phase. 
 
Finally, the students will get some flight time as they go into our ATI phase of the course. Students will be walked out to the bird and handed a rifle and magazines for the upcoming course of fire. Upon takeoff, students will get the “1 minute out” call which informs the students to be ready for the signal to engage targets. With the designated hand signal, students will be cleared “HOT” and start to engage multiple targets of opportunity throughout the designated flight pattern.” Jeff Cotto, BAT Defense
