Gene Benson, Todd Cameron
Brief Description:
Featured speaker Gene Benson will present this practical, lively, in-depth and interactive seminar and explore many aspects of operations at non-towered airports. Established safe operational procedures will be reviewed, but the discussion will move into additional areas of maintaining situational awareness and the influence of human factors. Different operations such as instructional flights, sight-seeing flights, Young Eagles flights, and others will be addressed. Arriving and departing at high-traffic, non-towered events such as at fly-ins and airshows will be discussed. Practical methods of mitigating the risk posed by non-towered operations will be provided and discussed. Several accidents related to non-towered operations will be presented and analyzed with input from attendees. Do you have a story about a near-miss involving non-towered operations? Bring it to share with the group. This seminar will be part of a larger Safety Stand Down Day at the National Warplane Museum, attendees can tour the museum and participate in the other events. Please see the "Additional Seminar Information" for details. We'll see you there!
