If you think the weather will always be as forecast or your engine will never quit on you... think again! These conditions occur frequently and rarely have a happy ending! Why?

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
Thanks to East Hill Flying Club for hosting this winter seminar series. Come and share your experiences and ideas. Join the WINGs initiative of continuous learning and be part of the aviation "safety culture!"
This seminar dwells a bit on the dark side: when things go bump in the night! Improve your outcome by "pre-thinking" emergency procedures and insure a safe outcome to your surprise event. The presenter always diverts and has experienced several engine failures in 40 years of flying. Let's talk about what works (and what does not!) Bring your ideas!
David St. George will share techniques and best practices to reduce your risk by planning for emergencies! We will discuss the stabilized approach for normal landings and how to incorporate "the normal" into emergency situations.
Directions: Follow State Route 13 North from Ithaca under 2 overpasses to the top of the hill. The next light is Warren Road, turn left then your first right (about .5 mile) is Brown Road (airport entrance). Go straight to the red brick building with the airport beacon on the roof (this is the airport administration building).
