Title:
Boca Raton Pilots Meeting
Topic:
General Aviation Operations Over Water
Date and Time:
Wednesday, October 8, 2025, starting at 18:30 Eastern Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Luca F Bencini-Tibo
Brief Description:

Studies suggest that planning and knowledge of over-water pre- and In-flight processes and procedures can reduce the frequency of water landings (ditching) and the severity of consequences should a pilot be forced to ditch. Basic survival knowledge and equipment can greatly improve chances of surviving after a ditching. Our speaker, Luca Bencini-Tibo, will discuss how you can improve your odds and manage the risk when you make that water crossing.
