Air Safety Institute Webinars
The Air Safety Institute webinars give you a chance to hear from experts in the aviation community about topics that are important to every pilot. If you’ve ever wondered how aeronautical decision making affects real-world flying or how to get help when the clouds ahead of you start looking more ominous, check out the webinars. Live events provide you the ability to ask questions of the presenter and panelists, and help make the webinar even more interactive. Can't make the live show? Each of the Air Safety Institute's Webinars are recorded and posted on our website so you can watch the entire hour-long session - complete with questions and answers. ASI Webinars qualify toward AOPA Accident Forgiveness and the FAA WINGS program.

Cold Weather Ops
Whether it's cold where you live or you're just planning on flying to chillier climates, join AOPA Foundation president Bruce Landsberg and panelists John Ponts (Pilot on "Flying Wild Alaska") and Andy Marosvari (ATC, Boise Tower) for a wide-ranging discussion of the ways cold weather can affect your flying. From practical matters like starting and taxiing to potentially life-saving issues like icing and runway braking action, we'll cover what you need to know to stay safe when the mercury drops.

Emergency Operations
We spend a lot of time training for them, but real-world emergencies are rare enough that it’s easy to get complacent. But emergencies don’t always happen to “other pilots,” and a little preparation can make a big difference when things start to go downhill. Don’t take the head-in-the-sand approach: Join Air Safety Institute chief flight instructor J.J. Greenway and air traffic controller Andy Marosvari for a fast-paced hour of expert tips on handling those nasty “up here, wishing you were down there” scenarios.

Flying Safely with Cockpit Weather
Datalink has taken a lot of the uncertainty out of weather flying, but using it safely means more than just counting on NEXRAD to steer you around whatever's out there . Whether you're already flying with datalink or just considering it, join AOPA Foundation president Bruce Landsberg and datalink expert Dr. David Strahle for a must-see discussion of how you can use cockpit weather to both complete more trips and minimize your weather risks.

Aerodynamics: The Alpha Factor
Venture beyond Bernoulli and Newton when you join AOPA Foundation President Bruce Landsberg and panelists Rich Stowell (Master Aerobatic Instructor and 2006 National CFI of the Year) and Brian E. Smith (NASA Ames Research Center) in an energetic review of aerodynamic principles beyond the four forces of flight. As Landsberg leads a high-paced discussion with amazing video clips you’ll discover the true meaning of power and pitch and what flying angle of attack is all about. Grab this chance to come away a precise aviator in all flight regimes.

Thunderstorms & ATC: What You Need to Know
Join AOPA Foundation President Bruce Landsberg and air traffic control experts for a discussion of the deadly hazards posed by thunderstorms, and how you can best work with controllers to avoid them. You'll learn important facts about the limitations of ATC weather radar, find out about common (and dangerous) assumptions pilots and controllers sometimes make, and get plenty of tips on making the system work better for you.

Decision Making Made Simple
In flying, the ability to make consistently good choices may be the single most important safety skill you can have. But is it possible to improve your decision making skills, or is good judgment something that only comes with experience? Join Air Safety Institute Chief Flight Instructor J.J. Greenway and panelist Doug Stewart (FAA designated examiner) for a real-world look at ways to improve your aeronautical decisions--and dramatically decrease your odds of an accident.
