The FAA will conduct numerous safety seminars and forums during the week of Sun-n-Fun in our facility officially known as the Orlando Field Office, better known as the FAA Safety Center. See descriptions and links below for additional information about each seminar, and to pre-register for seminars of interest to you. Most seminars offer WINGS or AMT credit as appropriate.
These are live presentations only. Free seminars! WINGS and/or AMT credit available!
The FAA's "Orlando Field Office" (aka FAA Safety Center) is centrally located on the Sun-n-Fun grounds at the corner of Laird Drive and Sun-n-Fun Road. We are the large building with the rooftop deck. Forums entrance is on the west side of the building. Pre-registration not required, but highly encouraged!
FAA forums run daily from 8:30 a.m. til 2:00 p.m.; each is typically 1 hour long. Check all our listings below, and CLICK ON THE INDIVIDUAL LINKS BELOW TO BEGIN PRE-REGISTRATION FOR EACH:
