This seminar is part of an Aviation Day at Lehigh Valley International Airport (KABE), on Saturday June 4th 2022.
Join Lehigh Valley Flying Club and the AOPA Flying Clubs team for a fun-packed day of aviation information and education, including a popular Rusty Pilots seminar (register separately), a WINGS safety presentation (register here) and a fact-packed seminar on the Wonderful World of Flying Clubs (no registration required).
WINGS Presentation: Expand Your Horizons and Have Fun Doing it: We know that loss of control accidents can happen when pilots are taken outside of their comfort zones—and that a big contributor to being “uncomfortable” is when something happens that we haven’t seen before and so haven’t trained for. As ground dwellers, our instinctive reactions to being startled could save the day through the fight-or-flight and freeze-in-place responses. As airmen, these natural reactions could kill us.
Training our responses to better handle startling situations, along with stall, spin and upset recovery techniques may help reduce loss of control accidents, but should we first prepare ourselves by getting better at more familiar maneuvers, in order to open-up the learning opportunities offered by more extreme training?
