Title:
Pro Tips for VFR Pilots
Topic:
VFR Mastery: Lessons from Pilot Errors to Elevate Your General Aviation Skills
Speaker(s):
CFI Joe Biviano
Brief Description:
As we accumulate flight time, we gain experience. This improves our skills. We also gain experience from making mistakes, having close calls, surviving dangerous situations and yes, by making good decisions too. Although it often comes at a price, this process of learning refines our skills. This presentation will help you improve your skills at a reduced price. CFI Joe Biviano has paid the price at several levels over the last 57 years of flying, making mistakes that led to both positive and negative outcomes. Join the pilots of the Bakersfield Flying Club as Joe recounts his experiences to help you learn to become a safer pilot.
