Now Featuring: The Last Five Miles

This seminar is not currently showing, but we'll add it to next year's schedule. Look for it on the seminar schedule.

This seminar focuses on techniques for making those last few miles before touchdown both safe and enjoyable. You will learn:
  • Three good reasons to descend early...and one time when it would be a big mistake!
  • When straight-in approaches can be both safe and legal.
  • How to safely handle traffic pattern conflicts.
... and many more techniques that you should know about.
