FAASTeam members?

You need to complete their training program to be a FAASTeam member,
this is the same as the previous "Aviation Safety Counselors". Just
signing up, does not make it so. You need to attend some of those
safety seminars with them and review their materials.

They like people that are good public speakers, have a good knowledge
of safe operations and have a good relationship with other pilots in
the area.

Small nit here. There is a difference between a FAASTeam Member and a
FAASTeam Representative. As I understand it, the member does NOT give any
presentations but rather assists the FAASTeam reps or helps out in other
ways. It's only the FAASTeam Reps who are allowed to give presentations.

Of course, if you like giving presentations, it's great! I've given
several and have learned SO much. Write me privately if you have further
questions

And yes, it's a great team to join!

Jay,


I tried responding to your e-mail but your mail server rejected my
address for some reason.

Here's what I had written to you:



Being a FAASTeam Rep (as I am) takes LOTS of time but it's all
self-imposed. You see, I've chosen to prepare presentations twice a
year and that takes time!

As a FAASTeam Member, I'd imagine that it would take no where near as
much time. They assist the presenters, get the hand-outs ready, help
make signs, get the sign-up sheets ready, etc. It's not a lot of work
but it's important stuff!

I've never been in CAP unfortunately. I'd like to though. From what I
know about giving presentations and all that is involved, I'd say that a
FAASTeam Member could spend a few hours (maybe 1.5-2) in getting the
signs and sign-up sheets ready. Now, all that said, you should (I
believe) be able to choose which presentations you want to help with.
Basically, if loss of control doesn't thrill you, don't volunteer to
help with that presentation. It can be as simple as that.

How much time DO you have to devote?

Barry

So the next time you are thrown
out of an FBO are you going to whip out your FAASTeam ID?
HA!!!

That'll put the fear of God in 'em... ;-)

No, I don't think that would be part of the program!

BTW, I plan on going to the next Airventure/Osh Kosh. If I do, I'll
definitely stop by. I think I owe you a beer.

"A" beer? Ha!

Just kidding. You come for the fly-in pool party (July 21st this
year) and the beer is free all day long!
