To improve the safety of landing aeroplanes around the world

Jacobson Flare App
The Jacobson Flare technique for landing aeroplanes was developed by ex-Qantas pilot David Jacobson in 1987. In 2014, Captain Jacobson used Oomph to create an App for the Jacobson Flare – giving access to his teachings to pilots around the world.
Using the Oomph platform, Jacobson Flare produced an interactive App that acts as a manual for pilots wanting to learn his innovative and consistently reliable technique. The Oomph platform enabled the App with videos, calculators and two distinct presentations and has won him accolades in the industry for being so professional and beautifully presented.
