Topic:
Come join us to learn about over water flights, bring your questions.
Speaker(s):
Dave Kalwishky
Brief Description:
Some of the topics we will be discussing in this seminar are:
- Basic survival knowledge and equipment can greatly improve chances of surviving after a ditching.
- Pilots should plan for the shortest possible overwater routes and fly at higher altitudes to increase gliding distance.
- GA Passengers and crew should wear Personal Flotation Devices while flying over water.
- When flying to or over remote areas consider 406 MHz personal locator beacons and or satellite phones.
- The most important factor in survival success is the will to survive.
I will also be sharing my own experiences of over water flying to the Bahamas in our Cessna 182.
