All you need to stimulate your aviation education is a computer, one hour of free time, and a comfortable chair. Then sit back, relax, and participate in one of the Air Safety Institute’s engaging safety webinars.
What’s a webinar? Imagine attending one of ASI’s well-known safety seminars, except you travel through cyberspace to participate. And this is no one-way experience. Grab the chance to use the webinar’s chat feature to pose questions to the panel of experts on the topic at hand, hear their response, and engage in a lively debate with other attendees. Subject matter ranges from safety concerns particular to an event, region, or area in the United States to broader topics such as runway safety and weather.
To take a closer look, visit the website and register for a date and time convenient for your schedule. Or learn from recently recorded webinars such as Cold Weather Ops and Takeoffs and Landings: The Expert Approach. In Cold Weather Ops, you will join AOPA Foundation president Bruce Landsberg and panelists Dana Siewert (director of aviation safety, University of North Dakota) and Andy Marosvari (ATC, Boise Tower) for a wide-ranging discussion of the ways cold weather can affect your flying, including practical matters such as starting and taxiing to potentially life-saving issues such as icing and runway braking action.
In Takeoffs & Landings: The Expert Approach you’ll join ASI’s Chief Flight Instructor J.J. Greenway, and Jason Blair, executive director of National Association of Flight Instructors, for an in-depth discussion of the art and science of takeoffs and landings. They’ll move beyond the basics of safety and look at techniques the experts use to get it done gracefully.
