Event Details and Registration

While on glide, a pilot's two most important performance-related decisions are how fast to fly and in what direction. This webinar discusses the former. Toward that end, it discusses classic MacCready speed-to-fly (STF) theory, how to use your STF-capable flight computer, when to temper or even ignore STF theory, and final glide. Even the best pilots never know for sure (till perhaps after they've landed) whether they were flying the optimum speed at any given time! 

Please register for "Speed to Fly Theory - What Is It and Why Should I Care?" on February 19, 2019 at 8pm EST at the following link:

THIS AND ALL OF OUR WEBINARS ARE NOW ELIGIBLE FOR THE FAA WINGS PROGRAM!

The FAA along with the aviation industry has realized recurrent training reduces the accident rate dramatically.

The Wings program includes both learning activities and flight tasks to be accomplished for credit towards obtaining one of the levels in the Wings program. After completing a level of the Wings program you may substitute this completion for your flight review.

It is easy to sign up for this FREE program. Go to www.faasafety.gov for more information.
