Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
More accidents occur in the takeoff and landing phases of flight than any other. It is the close proximity to the ground that leaves less margin for error. Some pilots never really master the basics, then it's only a matter of time before they have a problem. Is the runway long enough? Are there obstructions? What is the density altitude? Is there a cross-wind? How good is your airspeed control? Do you know how to successfully recover from a bounced landing or when to go around?
Are you prepared for an emergency landing? These are just some of the considerations that are addressed in this safety seminar.
Featured speaker is David St. George with the FAA Safety Team. David is the Chief Instructor at a Part 141 flight school and has over 40,000 landings! He works as a pilot examiner in the Rochester FSDO area. Bring your questions and suggestions and let's learn to fly (and land) more safely!
