Title:
Winter Flying - Ice Does Not Care How Experienced You Are
Topic:
Recognizing Aircraft Icing Hazards and Making Safer Winter Flight Decisions
Speaker(s):
Patrick Lofvenholm (RCFO's) & John Moloney (FAAST)
Brief Description:
Winter flying presents unique challenges, and experience alone does not eliminate the risks associated with aircraft icing. Join us for a discussion of winter weather hazards, recognizing conditions conducive to icing, and making sound aeronautical decisions. This seminar will emphasize practical risk management, effective preflight planning, and understanding when changing conditions warrant delaying, diverting, or canceling a flight.
This is a great opportunity to network, share insights, and support a strong local safety culture. WINGS credit available.
