February 2021

(CORRECTION)(CORRECTION)(CORRECTION)

Previous NOTAM listed the webinar as happening on the 17th.  It is actually happening this Wednesday the 10th.
Your registration is still good and should say the 10th - You do not have to reregister.  Sorry for any confusion.

VASI February virtual/ zoom meeting - Wings eligible

For our second "virtual" meeting of the year we are having Dan Gryder back.  If you recall he spoke to us about "minimum Maneuvering Speed" last year, thanks to Dave Wimberly we got him back for this session.  Dan will be talking about a number of accidents and their probable cause.

About the speaker:
Dan Gryder has been a CFI for over 40 years, retired Delta 777 Captain and owns a DC-3 at Griffin, GA airport, (need a DC-3 rating?).  He is also a Youtuber with lots of other informative videos online.  You can see his channel by clicking here.  Please also subscribe to his channel so you can hear about his new videos.

As proof that he is a good sport, I want to point out this specific video by clicking here.  You will see Dan sporting a VASI Cap!  Thanks Dan...
 
As noted - he spoke to us before about maintaining minimum speed.  You can get a refresher on YouTube by clicking here and you will be a believer in his methods.

As before, EAA chapter 1285 have graciously agreed to host this meeting for us using Zoom.
