MSA “Soaring the Appalachians” Seminar, 9-10 Feb 2013

The Mifflin Soaring Association will again hold their popular “Soaring the Appalachians” Seminar this winter. The Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning seminar is targeted toward intermediate soaring pilots with cross country and ridge experience. Responding to feedback from last year, many of the same topics will be offered, with adaptations to the intermediate pilot. We have also designed sessions for more discussion and Q&A.

Speakers/Topics:
-- John Seymour: "Preparing Your Glider for Ridge Flying"
-- Richard Kellerman: “Ridge Weather”
-- John Good: “Outlandings During Ridge Flights”
-- Roy McMaster: “Ridge Transitions” (using SeeYou)
-- John Godfrey: “Midairs, Transponders & FLARM”
-- Ron Schwartz & Bobby Templin: “Blue Mountainmania (ridge flights from Blairstown NJ)”
-- Karl Striedieck: Eagle Field Winch Operations
-- Panel Q&A

Date: 9-10 February 2013
Location: MSA Clubhouse, Mifflin County Airport, Reedsville PA
Cost: $95 (includes lunch Sat and breakfast Sun)
Due to space constraints and the interactive nature of the seminar, there is a limit of 25 attendees.
