The AOPA Air Safety Foundation (ASF) will be holding a safety seminar for pilots in the Chicago area. The seminar will be held on three separate days, October 4th, 5th and 6th at three locations, ensuring one close to all parts of Chicago. The seminar starts at 7:00 p.m. on all three days and runs until 9:00 p.m. The seminar is the ASF's 'Real World IFR' presentation and is new for 2010.
The ASF describes the seminar with the following statement. "Sure, you breezed through the check ride or aced that last proficiency check. But you're still hesitant to venture aloft on that "three hundred and one" day. Find out how pilots who fly every day in all kinds of weather do it. ASF's "Real World IFR" safety seminar goes beyond basic IFR training into the world of professional piloting. Even if you don't make a career out of it, you can at least emulate the stellar safety record of the pros."
The first event on the 4th is at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suite, 205 Remington Blvd. Bolingrook, IL 60440 and is actually sponsored by AmSafe, a manufacturer of the only general aviation seatbelt airbag system.
On the fifth, the seminar will be at the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel, 933 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook, IL 60062 and on the 6th at the Hilton Garden Inn, 7675 Walton St. Rockford, IL 61108
Per the ASF, "Pilots attending the AOPA Air Safety Foundation’s safety seminars receive free pilot training while enjoying the company of fellow-aviators. Safety seminars qualify for the ground portion of the FAA Wings program."
If you are an AOPA member and a pilot, attendance to these free seminars is highly encouraged. Continuing education and proficiency will help ensure a safer flying environment for everyone.
