Safe Aircraft Ground Operations | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 7 p.m. CDT with Prof. H. Paul Shuch |
|||
|
When our primary goal is to fly, we often consider ground operations a necessary inconvenience. But concentrating solely on the flight ahead can lead to taxi accidents, runway incursions, or potential hazards to ourselves and other airport users. In this FAA Safety Team WINGS webinar, Prof. H. Paul Shuch will concentrate on how we can make our time on the ground just as safe and productive as we strive to make our time in the air. |

The Importance of Ring Gap and Cylinder Life | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, September 25, 2024, 7 p.m. CDT with Bill Ross |
|||
|
Piston ring gap is critical to the performance and longevity of your aircraft cylinders. However, it is clear not all maintenance providers adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Owners should know the importance and ensure their respective maintenance provider follow these instructions. Bill Ross from Superior Air Parts will explore the importance of ring gap, common mistakes, and how to perform ring gap properly. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit. |

Learn about two avenues to engage young people in your chapter. The Young Eagles Build and Fly program is an initiative giving kids hands-on building and flying experience using a remote controlled aircraft. Young Eagles Workshops are a day camp program that can be customized to what works best for your chapter. Through classroom and hands-on project experience, kids are exposed to various aviation knowledge areas and building techniques. Join Serena Brouillette for an overview of each program and learn how your chapter can participate. |

Why Annual Inspections? | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
|
Wednesday, October 2, 2024, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch |
|||
|
Why does the FAA require owners of small GA airplanes to put them through a complete inspection every 12 months, even if they've only flown 40 hours or less since the last inspection? Does it really make sense to open up the wings, empennage, and tailcone and remove the seats, carpets, and floorboards to inspect for corrosion every 12 months? In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA explores this issue by pointing out that owners of "big boy" airplanes like King Airs aren't required to do this, but owners of smaller airplanes are. Mike questions this double standard, asks why the FAA doesn't treat the "rest of us" more like it treats the "big boys," and fantasizes about a simple change to the regulations that would make this possible.

The Russian proverb "Trust but verify" made famous by President Ronald Reagan was later morphed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo into "Distrust and verify" when he spoke about China. Pompeo's version is just as applicable to aircraft maintenance as it is to arms control. Far too often, A&P mechanics attack an aircraft with tools in an attempt to fix an issue based solely on a squawk by a pilot or aircraft owner without actually verifying for themselves that the description is accurate. Frequently this results in costly and time-consuming maintenance that doesn't resolve the issue. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA offers two real-life stories to illustrate this problem and talks about what pilots and mechanics can do to prevent it from happening.

Federal Aviation Regulations are very clear as to the training, currency, equipment, inspections, and clearances required for flight into instrument meteorological conditions. Still, far too often, pilots stumble into IMC without meeting those requirements. In this FAA Safety Team WINGS webinar, Prof. H. Paul Shuch will review the pertinent FARs, explore the reasons for these deviations, and discuss lifesaving training and techniques to follow if you should ever find yourself flying VFR into IMC.

Instrument training, proficiency, and currency requirements are built primarily around instrument approaches. But getting from the airport to the en route environment under instrument flight rules is equally as complex and requiring of study, training, and practice. In this webinar Tom Turner will cover planning and execution of the following:

More and more primary care physicians are abandoning the traditional insurance-funded, fee-for-service model in favor of a "concierge practice" in which patients pay a fixed annual fee that covers all the primary healthcare they may require. While membership in such concierge practices is expensive, patients receive far superior and responsive healthcare. Mike Busch A&P/IA believes that such a concierge model could also succeed in the maintenance of GA airplanes and could provide vastly better and more responsive service to aircraft owners, although it wouldn't be suitable for everyone. In this webinar, Mike explores how such a concierge maintenance shop might work and postulates two alternative ways that such concierge maintenance organizations might be created.
