Collision Avoidance Workshop - Jason Groh - Monthly Safety Meeting at PWK by CEPA
Topic:
Collision Avoidance Workshop Will Help Pilots Navigate Chicago Executive’s Class D Environment With Confidence
Speaker(s):
Jason Groh, CFI/CFII
Brief Description:
The Collision Avoidance workshop is a fast-paced, one-hour safety session designed to help pilots navigate Chicago Executive’s busy Class D environment with confidence. It covers local collision risk areas—including jet and GA traffic mixing, and nearby airport conflicts—along with proven visual scanning techniques, smart use of ADS-B, and effective communication with Tower, Approach, and CTAF. Using local maps, real ATC audio, and an actual near-miss case study, pilots will learn practical strategies to see and avoid traffic, manage high-density operations, and prevent midair conflicts.

CEPA’s purpose is to promote flying, proficiency, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share their perspectives, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. Participate in this excellent forum where we think through the various options from the comfort of your chair, firmly on the ground... before it is you sitting in the cockpit.
We meet monthly when pilots (and would-be pilots) network and share knowledge and experiences to keep our heads in the game.
