Dont Be a Fool With Your Fuel - Tom DeJan - March 18 - Safety Meeting at PWK by CEPA
Topic:
Managing Your Fuel and Engine Isn't Optional; Doing It Well Has Its Rewards
Speaker(s):
Tom DeJan, A&P IA and Pilot
Brief Description:
Flying is a skill that you learned to get your pilot certificates. And, systems was a big part of that. But you probably learned practically nothing about fuel metering, operation, and performance. Tom will discuss carburetion, fuel injection, engine limits and operation, and performance planning.
Speaker Bio:
Tom DeJan has over 30 years of military aviation service, spanning B-52G crew chief duties in the Strategic Air Command, UH-1H technical inspections in Honduras, and MC-130E flight engineer deployments in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Tom brings rare operational depth to every topic. Tom holds an A&P, IA, and commercial multi-engine instrument ratings. He has worked as a Professional Flight Engineer for ATA, Kalitta Air, and Tepper Aviation, led the USN MZ-3A airship maintenance program, and conducted international patrol operations combating illegal fishing in Samoa.
