Event Details and Registration

The topics presented are of interest to anyone who does aerobatics or is interested in taking up aerobatics training.  The presentation includes video of first-hand accounts, by friends Sean Tucker and Dan Marcotte, of their bailing out of broken airplanes.  Their perspectives are unique and educational.

The list of topics presented are:

* Aerobatic Emergencies - Breaking the airplane, bailing out, and inadvertent spins

* Safety Gear - Parachutes, helmets, clothing, locators

* Airplane performance and hazards - V-N, W&B, SA, FOD, Physiology

* The Pilot – G Tolerance and G Loss of Consciousness (GLOC)

* FAA Regulations

* Emergency Off Airport Landings

The presentation includes videos of upright and inverted spins from the pilot’s view.  Spin recovery procedures will be explained.  There is video of emergency parachutes being demonstrated, and Wes will have a parachute to open and examine.  You should find these video’s and all of the topics interesting and informative.

IF DRIVING IN:
Turn onto Holt Rd off Rt-125 in No. Andover (about 1 mile north of where Rt-133 turns East). At end of Holt Rd, turn right (Clark St).  GATE 4 will be on the left.

No GPS address for airport GATE 4, so when near 400 Holt Rd, follow the EAA106 signs. Ideally, please arrive between 9:00-10:30 when we will have someone manning the gate for entry.  Outside those times, please call the number on the paper taped to the yellow post for someone to come let you in.
