Title:
CFI/DPE Open Forum and May Topic of the Month
Topic:
Enhancing operational safety by determining best glide speed.
Speaker(s):
FAAST FPM LANNY CLINE AND DPE WALLY MORAN
Brief Description:
This is your opportunity to ask a DPE questions concerning ACS, PTS, and more. Additionally, the GAJSC has determined that a number of general aviation fatalities could be avoided if pilots were better trained in determining best glide speed for their aircraft and flying at that speed while maneuvering to complete a forced landing. At this event we will:
- Discuss the scope and safety benefits of flying the airplane at best glide speed while;
- Maneuvering to a forced landing runway or off airport landing area;
- Acquaint pilots with available resources;
- Encourage pilots to maintain proficiency through frequent forced landing practice; and
- Encourage pilots to participate in the WINGS Pilot Proficiency Program.
This is a your forum so your participation is essential for success. We really need to hear from you so be sure to join in the discussion.
Flight Instructors, Ground Instructors, Designated Pilot Examiners, and Instructors in training are welcome and encouraged to attend. Join your flight instructor colleagues and take an active role in improving safety in flight training! Click on the link below and register TODAY!
