Pilot Safety Meeting - June 23

18/6/2018

 
Saturday June 23rd - 6:00 pm
at the Club House
 
Title: Flying for the Rest of Our Lives

If you are NOT getting older, you don't need to attend. But for everyone else, this session will review some of the ways our minds, bodies and flying experience change us over the years that both improve and diminish our flying skills. What gets better, what does not? Not easy to tell. This session will provide some tips for what to watch for in ourselves, how to optimize our skills as long as possible, and how we can keep flying forever, with open discussion about how the club can provide support for all of us to fly for the rest of our lives. 

The Session will be lead by Dr. Dale Guenter and Dr. Alan Daniels
