Title:
Preparing For An IFR Flight
Topic:
Preparing for an IFR Flight in an iPad Era
Speaker(s):
Bruce Williams - BruceAir, LLC
Brief Description:
Most of us use a tablet to prepare for flights and to display charts in the cockpit. These tools have made flying easier in many ways, but using them wisely requires planning and perhaps changes in our habits. I’ll discuss lessons learned from using these tools and observing other IFR pilots, and I’ll offer specific suggestions to help you fly effectively with EFBs.
Bruce Williams is the owner of BruceAir, LLC, an aviation consulting, training, and pilot-services company based in Seattle, WA. He has been a pilot since the early 1970s, and he is a certified flight instructor and FAASTeam representative in the Seattle area. Today, he focuses on training for technically advanced aircraft (TAA) and stall/spin/upset courses in an Extra 300L aerobatic aircraft. He also instructs at Galvin Flying Services at Boeing Field. During a 15-year career at Microsoft, he worked on six versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator. In the 1980s, he edited the Western Flyer (now the General Aviation News). He is also the author of Microsoft Flight Simulator as a Training Aid: A Guide for Pilots, Instructors, and Virtual Aviators, published in 2007 by ASA, and Scenario-Based Training with X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator, published in 2012 by Wiley & Sons, plus many features on a variety of topics for magazines and other periodicals.
