Event Details and Registration

You thought you were clear of the B757’s wake turbulence as you crossed the bay towards Coyote Hills, then in a flash you were inverted.  What do you do and you have less that a couple of seconds to decide. A reflex reaction may not be correct. Only with awareness, expectation and training will you know.  This seminar is the beginning of your training and may save your life

Tom will discuss the dos and don'ts of recovering from unintentional inverted flight, and the underlying whys. He will discuss stall and spin avoidance during the recovery as well as the physiological sensing of motion and orientation, maintaining 3D spatial awareness and G tolerance.

Tom Myers has been flying competitive aerobatics for twenty-eight years. He has over 2,000 flight hours, mostly NOT straight, or level, or upright. He is a director emeritus of the International Aerobatic Club, and is the chairman of its Technical Committee. He has performed inner ear research at the Stanford Medical Center, and altered gravity vector environment research at NASA Ames.

This event qualifies for FAA Wings credit.

San Carlos Flight Center has created BAY FLIGHT 2018, an aviation conference for SF Bay Area pilots interested in staying current about the latest topics in aviation, learning new skills and techniques, and hearing from leaders in the field and will be held on Oct 27, 2018 (www.bayflight18.com).

San Carlos Flight Center is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our evening safety seminar programs. Space is often limited so it is important to sign up early through the FAA event notification system at FAASAFETY.GOV. SCFC members may choose to watch the seminar live over the web at home.

Directions to Room: Pilots who fly in should park in transient parking on the opposite side of the field and expect to walk about 10 minutes (.5 mile) to the Flight Center. Suite 215 is upstairs in the northwest corner. On occasion, rides may be prearranged through San Carlos Aviation and Supply.

San Carlos Flight Center was voted Best Flight School in the US in the 2013 AOPA Flight Training Excellence Awards.
