Brief Description:

Led by Gary (GPS) Reeves, one of the most experienced GPS/avionics IFR instructors in the world, this candid, high-impact round table is for CFIs who’ve faced the kind of students no textbook prepares you for -- those who argue, ignore instruction, or even put safety at risk. Bring your stories, hear real-world experiences from fellow instructors, and leave with practical strategies to prevent small problems from becoming dangerous ones. This is your chance to talk openly, share ideas, and strengthen your instructor toolkit for the toughest personalities in aviation.
