| Thursday, April 6 10:00-11:00 Doug Stewart | The Last Five Miles This seminar focuses on techniques for making those last few miles both safe and enjoyable. You will learn about three good reasons to descend early, when straight-in approach can be both safe and legal, how to safely handle traffic pattern conflicts, and many more techniques that you should be aware of. |
| Friday, April 7 10:00-11.00 Bruce Landsberg | Do the Right Thing—Decision Making for Pilots This seminar has been getting rave reviews for its no-nonsense, real-world strategies for making better choices in the cockpit (and on the ground). Using interactive DVD scenarios, you'll practice your skills by deciding the fates of two pilots—one VFR and one IFR— facing some serious predicaments. |
| Saturday, April 8 10:00 - 11:00 Doug Stewart | Maneuvering Flight—Hazardous to your Health? Yes, maneuvering can be hazardous if you don't keep your flying skills and knowledge up to date. This seminar will give you information to make a correct base-to-final turn, avoid stalling at low altitudes, and avoid overstressing your aircraft. |
| Saturday, April 8 11:30 - 12:30 Doug Stewart | Single-Pilot IFR Short of an emergency, there is probably no greater test of a pilot's skill than flying IFR, alone. Is it safe? Can we make it safer? The answer is a resounding yes, and this seminar will give you some tips and techniques to make it that way. |
