Default Safety Seminar and FIRC

Glider Pilot Safety Seminar and FIRC

November 12-13 at Minden, Nevada Holiday Inn Express. Sponsored by
Soaring NV.
The primary goal of this two-day event is to help you be a better,
safer pilot, and a better, safer flight instructor.

This seminar specifically targets flight safety issues, reviewing the
many important every day flying activities all glider pilots
encounter. Aerotow emergencies, landing procedures, stalls, use of
checklists, collision avoidance, decision making, and many other
topics will be covered.

And it is not all safety. Practical matters such as thermalling,
glider assembly, preflight inspections, using the airspace, and many
other issues will also be covered. Flight instructors will receive a
certificate to renew their rating with the FAA.

The two-day course will be presented by well known author, and flight
instructor, Tom Knauff, who, with his wife, Doris Grove have operated
a very successful glider school in Pennsylvania, with an outstanding
safety record.

To register, contact Laurie Harden by phone (775) 782 9595 or email:
, or on line at www.eglider.org. The event is
$150 and will be held at the Holiday Inn Express, Minden, Nevada who
are cooperating with a special room rate.
