Speaker(s):
Michael Hare
Brief Description:

Pilots often think when something bad happens they will "Rise to the Occasion."   Actually what happens is you, "Descend to the level of your training/proficiency".  Sadly, many pilots fail to get the training that might be required of them before it is needed.  We'll walk through considerations for an engine failure after take off.

Join in with retired USAF Pilot and Delta Airlines Captain Michael Hare.  Highly decorated retired Colonel, USAFR.  Graduated pilot training at Vance AFB, OK.  Completed flying tours in the A-10, OV-10, A-37, C130 and F-16, also served as instructor pilot in the A-10, OV-10 and Commander F-16 169th Fighter Squadron.  In addition to his extensive USAF career he also served 28 years with Northwest and Delta Airlines, retiring as Captain in the A-319, 320, 321.  Since retiring from Delta he holds CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, and IGI certificates having earned Gold Seal Status. 

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and promote a safer flying environment for all.
