Description:
Of 44 aircraft accidents in the Harrisburg District over six years, everyone onboard survived in 38 of them! Many of these occurred off-airport, and a few were in very remote areas.

This includes equipping the aircraft with good restraint systems—as well as keeping first aid and survival equipment onboard. Come and participate in this seminar as we share ideas for Stayin' Alive!

This webinar is an important resource to get all pilots on the same page and will answer many of the misconceptions that we have about manned and unmanned operations.

Select Number:
WP0183229

Description:
The world of weather briefings is changing! How do you make sense of conflicting information on a weather brief: There's an AIRMET for IFR but other resources call for VFR. Which one is right? There's a few forecasts for Gusts to 40 knots, but no AIRMET or CWA. How do you validate that?

• The best site to validate potential icing at any altitude
• Locating potential turbulence or LLWS even when it’s not forecast
• The product you must add to your Standard Weather Brief.

In this 90 minute webinar followed by a Q&A, Delia Colvin, aviation weather expert, will show you effective ways to gain certainty and safety while evaluating the information. You’ll also become familiar with some fantastic new tools.
