Introduction

Today’s General Aviation pilot has the capability and desire to fly to new – to them - and interesting destinations.  Often these new destinations carry with them challenges and demands for skills not necessarily acquired in normal training.  Destin, Florida, is a very attractive destination and has a very convenient airport literally within walking distance of beautiful beaches and deep-sea fishing facilities (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Destin airport is very convenient to the town's beaches and harbor and also only 5 miles south of Eglin AFB

Destin is also located within and near unusual and complex airspace.  While using this airspace is quite straight forward, the unknowledgeable pilot can easily be overtaken by events and – at the least – be embarrassed, or – at worst – become involved in a serious safety event.

Therefore, this course is intended to make the first-time visitor as comfortable with the Destin/Eglin AFB Part 93 airspace as the pilot who is using this airspace on a regular basis. HOWEVER, THIS COURSE IS NOT INTENDED TO, NOR IS IT CAPABLE OF, CONVEYING INFORMATION OF A TRANSITORY NATURE.  NEITHER CAN IT REFLECT "LATE BREAKING" INFORMATION CRITICAL TO FLIGHT SAFETY.  TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF FAR 91.103, PILOTS MUST BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL AVAILABLE INFORMATION PERTINENT TO THAT FLIGHT INCLUDING NOTAMS.

The course assumes a good basic understanding of aircraft operations, air navigation, and air traffic control procedures.  You can take the course at your own pace, exit at any time, and come back whenever it is convenient.   Course notes, arrival and departure checklists, and other documents are available for download.  At the end of the course is a 20-question multiple choice quiz that you will need to take in a single session.  When you pass, you can print a certificate of completion for your records.  This course qualifies for credit under the FAA's Pilot Proficiency (WINGS) Program.
