Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):

The purpose of the CEPA Safety Education Program is to promote flying, proficiency, and safety and create a community of pilots willing to share their perspectives, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. Please participate in this excellent forum where we think through the various options from the comfort of your chair, firmly on the ground... before it is you sitting in the cockpit!

We meet monthly when pilots (and would-be pilots) network and share knowledge and experiences to keep our heads in the game.
