Dale Klapmeier Co Founder of Cirrus Opening a New Chapter in Safer Skies - Hybrid
Topic:
Lessons Learned from the Cirrus Safety Revolution and How a Safety-First Thought Process Saves Lives
Speaker(s):
Dale Klapmeier Co Founder of Cirrus Aircraft
Brief Description:
Don’t miss this rare chance to hear Dale Klapmeier, co-founder of Cirrus Aircraft and National Aviation Hall of Fame inductee, share the real story behind one of general aviation’s most important safety breakthroughs—the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Learn how a mid-air collision, relentless problem-solving, and a refusal to accept “that’s just the way it is” produced a system credited with saving more than 300 lives. Gain practical insights into aeronautical decision-making, recognizing when to pull early, managing residual risk, and building a personal culture of safety that protects you and your passengers. Presented by the Southern Utah Aviation Association in conjunction with AOPA, this evening will leave you with lasting memories and insights, as Dale said: "Everyone will have a great time." Earn WINGS credit while getting inspired by the man who helped change how we think about risk in the cockpit.
