WAPA, FPA host joint AOPA / FAA seminars and cookout
George Clark writes: … Wednesday September 18th, Worcester Airport, WAPA and the Fitchburg Pilots Association will be co-hosting a cookout and
two safety seminars.
The cookout starts early - 5 PM
- 5:00 PM cookout hosted by WAPA and FPA,
- 6:00 PM FAASTeam and USAFR 439th Air Lift Wing will present a safety program. In the CT River Valley C-5A Galaxy aircraft based at Westover ARB fly missions daily. Collision avoidance in the air is one of the most basic responsibilities of a pilot flying in visual conditions. Just how do the flight crews of these military aircraft accomplish this? When do they fly?
- 7:30 PM AOPA, ASI will present a program titled,"Weather Challenge" You don’t need a meteorologist-level understanding of weather to be a good pilot—though to judge from some of the educational materials out there, you might think so. Skew-T diagrams and moist adiabatic lapse rates are all well and good, but for most of us it’s the practical stuff that matters. With that in mind, our new seminar is aimed at bolstering your real-world weather wisdom—and having a little fun, too. As with our recent “Chart Challenge” seminar, we’ll put your knowledge to the test, quizzing you on everything from METAR/TAF decoding to real-world weather scenarios.
