Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Night flying can be safe and fun, but it poses its own unique challenges. Visual illusions and reduced visibility can be threats to spatial orientation, navigation, weather avoidance, obstacle clearance, takeoff & climb and approach & landing operations, and airport ground operations. Proper planning and setting personal minimums are key factors in keeping night flights from becoming dreadfully interesting. Join us for an in-depth discussion about how to deal with night flight operations. Flight instructors are encouraged to attend with their students.
