Event Details and Registration

This broadcast will take you on a flight from out of the hangar to  back in the hangar.  During each portion of the flight – taxi, take off, flight, landing, taxi, back in the hangar – the back story of an insurance claim/incident/accident will be discussed.  

It is one thing to hear of an accident and immediately say “I’d never do that…” and another to learn enough to come to the conclusion of, “hmmm, I  see some room for improvement….”  The intent is for everyone to take away something they can use to be a better safer pilot both in their personal flying and as a flight instructor.  

The claim information comes from the Avemco Insurance Company’s claim files, no personally identifiable information is revealed, the objective is to learn from others experiences so we don’t have to go through the same experience.  To help in  the transfer of knowledge this webinar includes photo’s that you’ll not find elsewhere or in government reports.
