"True Confessions: The Mistakes I've Made"
In this entertaining and informative seminar Master CFI Doug Stewart confesses to some of the mistakes he has made during the course of logging over 15,000 hours of flight time. More importantly, he explains how and why these mistakes were made. It is a good look at the pitfalls and operational errors a pilot can make and how “human factors” play a large part in the safety of flight.

No GPS address for airport GATE 4, so when near 400 Holt Rd, follow the EAA106 signs. Ideally, please arrive between 9:00-10:30 when we will have someone manning the gate for entry.  Outside those times, please call the number on the paper taped to the yellow post for someone to come let you in.
