Brief Description:

Join us for our continuing series of safety meetings at KWJF which we call Saturday Morning FLY SAFE.  This seminar will focus on RISK MANAGEMENT. In our daily lives, we constantly manage risk. As pilots, we are exposed to additional risk. In flying, how we manage that risk is critical to flight safety. CFI Joe Biviano takes an in-depth look at risk across pilot experience levels and different kinds of flight operations, and offers techniques and strategies to better manage risk during the planning and execution of each flight.

The presentation will be interactive and we encourage participation by student pilots, pilots new to the area, and experienced pilots and flight instructors who can add their expertise to the discussions.
