Free Safety Seminar Descriptions

GPS From the Ground Up

This GPS seminar discusses GPS operations as a whole, not just individual unit-specific functions. It's no longer about a GPS unit, it's about an entire operation that includes the pilot, ATC, Flight Service, etc. The pilot should not only use GPS as a supplemental means of navigation and situational awareness, but as a method to help manage the entire flight. The seminar will start with some brief compare/contrast of specific units and how technology has evolved, and then move into meaningful tips and advice for every phase of flight: Flight planning, preflight, departure, enroute and much more. We'll also discuss real-pilot "gotchas" that GPS users got themselves into due to lack of proper training, etc. You will not want to miss this seminar.

Mastering Takeoffs and Landings

Every year takeoffs and landings account for more than half of all pilot-related accidents, and it's not just the new pilots who are having trouble. ASF's latest seminar gives you tips and techniques for making smooth, trouble-free departures and arrivals.

What Went Wrong?

Sometimes the cause of an aircraft accident is obvious. Other times, it takes everything from CSI-style forensics to old-fashioned sleuthing to figure out where things went awry. The Air Safety Foundation's latest seminar looks at general aviation accidents through the eyes of the investigator--starting at the scene and working backward to reconnect the shattered links of the accident chain.
