Mitchell Pribble, Director of Air Operations, Tucson Branch, from the U S Department of Homeland Security will be a speaker and will answer questions about why some aircraft are asked to be searched. Mitch is a pilot and flight instructor with over 13000 hours. He has been in law enforcement for 24 years and was with the New Mexico State Police, but is now part of the U S Customs and Border Protection and DHS.
Bring your questions. We want this event to clear up any misunderstandings on both parts of the Government and General Aviation.
The program will identify problem areas and procedures that have led to surface incidents and incursions at the airport. AZ FAASTeam members and flight instructors will discuss the specific areas that have historically been problem areas or hot spots for surface navigation problems.

Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system. To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course on www.faasafety.gov. Or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions. Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way.
Thanks! A message from your local FAASTeam.
