Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
This will be a fantastic time to learn about sailplane/glider operations and find out if it is something you may be interested in. Flying a glider gives a pilot a new appreciation for energy management and sharpens their engine-out judgment like no other training device. Come find out what it is all about and learn how glider operations are unique.
Life Saver Air Ambulance Helicopter Operations are unique as well and this will be a great time to learn about their critical mission. Marc Ganne from Life Saver will share valuable information to help general aviation pilots avoid collision hazards.
A review of airspace and right of way rules by DPE Billy Singleton will be beneficial to all pilots as the spring flying season begins.
A Special Thanks for our sponsor:
Central Alabama Soaring Association (CASA)
Weather Permitting; there will be a drawing for 3 Courtesy Flights in a Blanik L-23 Glider from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
