Project GADfly Update | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit
Wednesday, August 6, 2025, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch
This webinar is a follow-up to Mike Busch's December 2022 webinar titled "When Data Doesn't Look Right," which offered a first peek at Savvy Aviation's Project GADfly, an attempt to harness artificial intelligence to screen the 10,000 flights of engine monitor data uploaded to the Savvy platform each week. The idea was to flag any flights that looked anomalous so that one of Savvy's expert human analysts could take a look at them. Two and a half years later, this AI model is now fully operational, analyzing every Cirrus SR22 flight uploaded to the platform, and being trained on other makes and models. In this webinar, Mike provides a fascinating updated status report on Project GADfly. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.

Critical Airspeeds for Safe Flight Operations | Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, August 20, 2025, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CDT with Catherine Cavagnaro |
|||
|
In this essential safety-focused webinar, Catherine Cavagnaro continues exploring the vital topic of airspeed, one of the most critical factors in aviation safety. Understanding and properly managing airspeeds can mean the difference between a safe flight and a potentially dangerous situation. We'll examine how key safety-critical airspeeds are determined and why knowing them could save your life: • Best glide speed: Your lifeline during engine failures • Maximum range speed: Essential for fuel emergency planning • Best angle of climb (Vx): Critical for obstacle clearance and terrain avoidance • Maneuvering speed (Va): Your protection against structural damage in turbulence • Other vital airspeeds that enhance flight safety margins Learn not just the numbers, but the lifesaving principles behind them. This knowledge forms the foundation of safe airmanship and could be crucial in emergency situations. Every pilot should master these concepts to protect themselves, their passengers, and their aircraft. Join us to strengthen your understanding of these fundamental safety concepts that every responsible pilot must know. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.

The Possible Impossible Turn: Engine Failure on Takeoff | Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, August 27, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Gordon Penner |
|||
|
When an engine fails shortly after takeoff, pilots face a critical decision: Attempt the "impossible turn" back to the runway or commit to landing straight ahead. This webinar examines the factors that make this maneuver possible versus impossible, including altitude requirements, distance from the runway, and aircraft performance considerations. Learn practical techniques for quickly assessing whether you have sufficient height and proximity to attempt the turn, plus step-by-step procedures for executing a safe return to the runway when conditions permit. We'll also cover proper decision-making for when landing ahead is the only viable option, helping you prepare for this high-stakes scenario before it happens. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.

Ready, Fire, Aim | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |

|
Wednesday, September 3, 2025, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch |
|||
|
In aircraft maintenance, the order in which you do things is critical. When troubleshooting a problem, it's essential to gather as much information about the problem before doing repairs or replacing parts. When an aircraft is undergoing its "annual ordeal," it's essential to complete the inspection checklist before starting to fix anything. But, according to Mike Busch, it's amazing how often these simple rules aren't obeyed and maintenance activities are done in the wrong sequence, resulting in a poor outcome. In this webinar, Mike explores the importance of doing first things first and other things afterwards. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit. |

General aviation airports are most definitely an endangered species. Their numbers are diminishing in the wild, and they seldom reproduce in captivity. This is the story of a unique, privately owned, public use central California airport, and how more than four decades ago it rose from the ashes of a previous airport’s untimely demise. |

Smarter Fuel Decisions for More Efficient, Cost-Effective Trip Planning |
|||
|
Wednesday, September 17, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Andy Matthews and John Burnside |
|||
|
Every fuel stop adds time, cost, and complexity to your flying. In this webinar, the iFlightPlanner co-founders Andy Matthews and John Burnside will show you how to make smarter fuel decisions and leverage iFlightPlanner’s powerful multi-leg planning tools to map out your entire trip — including fuel stops — in one simple, connected workflow. No more switching between multiple interfaces. Just smarter planning that saves you time, fuel, and money every time you fly. EAA members get exclusive savings of 20% off iFlightPlanner.

Understanding Ice Contaminated Tailplane Stalls | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CDT with Dr. Scott Dennstaedt |
|||
|
While many aircraft are not conducive to an ice contaminated tailplane stall (ICTS), knowing the difference from an aerodynamic wing stall can be lifesaving. In this webinar, meteorological expert Dr. Scott Dennstaedt will discuss the characteristics of an ICTS, and we'll also examine the weather conditions that contributed to a fatal King Air E90 accident that the NTSB determined the probable cause to be icing on the tailplane that resulted in a tailplane stall and subsequent loss of control.

On Centerline: Avoiding Loss of Directional Control During Takeoff and Landing | Qualifies for FAA WING credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT |
|||
|
Loss of Directional Control on the Runway (LODC-R) is one of the most common lightplane accident scenarios. Although LODC-R rarely causes serious injury or death, it frequently results in significant damage that is expensive to fix or “totals” the aircraft. History shows most LODC-R events happen when the crosswind component is less than 10 knots, telling us it’s the pilot, not the wind, that is the root cause. The good news is that means there are things pilots can do to recognize situations where we are at risk of losing control and techniques we can adopt to avoid the hazards. In this program we’ll explore those scenarios and highlight those techniques so you can confidently keep it on the centerline. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
