Registration begins at 9:30 AM. Seminar 3 is the last of three courses. It begins at 2:00 AM. This seminar will be presented by John Swedburg and Bob Clarke. John Swedburg is a faculty member with Big Bend Community College. Bob Clarke is a professional pilot. Between them they have over five decades and many thousands of hours of professional flying and instructional experience. Bob and John team teach CFI refresher courses, and have taught the annual Flying Farmers seminars for many years. This safety seminar is made possible by the generous support of the Flying Farmers, and by the aviation department of Big Bend Community College. A brief self evaluation quiz will be completed by each participant at the end of each seminar to assess their understanding of material and concepts. Seminar 3: This seminar begins at 2:00 PM. It is the final seminar of of the day. Security is the big kahuna in US politics, and therefore in GA! Just like with other key ingredients of a successful flight, pilots must know how to manage security issues (interception! TFRs! Cross border flights! etc!) . Many factors can conspire to push us into a security situation after our initial cross-country/flight planning. For example, unforecast weather (we did check before we launched?!), unexpected airspace issues (TFRs, active restricted areas, even hot MOAs...), etc. We also need to consider right-of-way rules, minimum safe altitudes, etc. Do we use an "EFB"? Are the electronic data bases error free - and how do we know? Is our iPad current? When did we last update our GPS db? So, we don't use paper charts any longer... what's our backup? What do the regs say?
