Lessons from a Performance Chart | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
Wednesday, March 27, 7 p.m. CDT with Catherine Cavagnaro |
|||
We often rush through performance calculations to ensure our aircraft is up to the mission. Join Catherine Cavagnaro from ACE Aerobatics School as she explains that these charts have so much more to teach us than that. We'll consider takeoff performance and weight and balance, and learn important considerations for safe flight. |

Ending the War on Jugs | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT Credit |
|||
Wednesday, April 3, 2024, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch |
|||
Historically, the rule A&Ps were taught about cylinders was simple: If the compression reading was less than 60/80, the cylinder had to come off for repair or replacement, period. This works well for mechanics, who are always happiest when they have clear-cut guidance to follow. But it was bad news for aircraft owners, who have to shell out several thousand dollars each time a jug gets yanked, and occasionally suffer catastrophic engine failure when the cylinder installation isn't done precisely right. In recent years, we've developed far more effective methods of assessing cylinder condition, catching problems early, and remediating them without the need for costly and risky cylinder removal. In this webinar, Mike Busch discusses these modern methods, techniques, and practices. |

Fueling VFT - Learning from Mistakes to Prevent a Tragedy | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
Wednesday, April 17, 7 p.m. CDT with Keith Clark |
|||
Everyday aircraft are fueled, and what happens during this time is the key to preventing a tragedy. Keith Clark from Phillips 66 Aviation discusses proper communication of aircraft fuel orders and strategies to ensure verification. Keith reviews examples of past mistakes and how to learn from these mistakes to prevent another aircraft misfueling. |

Mr. Bearhawk’s Wild Ride: A Surprise Encounter With Extreme Turbulence | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
Thursday, April 18, 7 p.m. CDT with Russ Erb and Karl Major |
|||
Russ Erb and Karl Major, retired USAF flight test pilots, discuss their encounter with an invisible mountain wave rotor, and their subsequent analysis of what happened. Includes a re-creation video depicting the sequence of events, and details of how the airplane was inspected for damage after the incident and thoughts on how this event could have been mitigated. |

Four Ways to Save Fuel, Time, and Money with Better Flight Planning | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
Wednesday, April 24, 7 p.m. CDT with Andy Matthews |
|||
Andy Matthews, of iFlightPlanner, discusses four simple ways you can save fuel and fly faster every time you step in the cockpit using iFlightPlanner. EAA members receive special discounts of 20% plus on iFlightPlanner. Andy will review key features and how to use iFlightPlanner to the maximum benefit. |

Borescope Initiative | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT Credit |
|||
Wednesday, May 1, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch |
|||
The borescope is one of the most important and versatile tools for inspecting GA aircraft, and is the gold standard for assessing cylinder condition in reciprocating aircraft engines. However, aircraft and engine manufacturers have provided no guidance on how to perform a proper cylinder borescope inspection, and A&P training doesn't cover it. In this webinar Mike Busch, A&P/IA, discusses what his company (Savvy Aviation) has done recently to fill this vacuum. |

Slip Slidin' Away – All About Uncoordinated Flight | Qualifies for FAA WINGS Credit |
|||
Wednesday, May 8, 7 p.m. CDT |
|||
We were all taught, from our very first lesson, to step on the ball and avoid uncoordinated flight. After all, slips and skids can lead to stalls and spins, can’t they? And then, three or four lessons later, we were taught how to slip. But why on earth would anyone want to do that? Doesn’t that lead to the dreaded stall/spin accident? In this FAA Safety Team WINGS award webinar, you will learn how to do forward and side slips, staying both uncoordinated and perfectly safe. |

Wednesday, May 22, 7 p.m. CDT with Doug Stainbrook |
|||
Doug Stainbrook with Siemens Solid Edge provides training on the use of the Siemens Solid Edge computer-aided design (CAD) program made available to EAA members by Siemens. The webinar will focus on the differences between Ordered (traditional history-based) modeling and Synchronous modeling offered in Solid Edge; moving Ordered models to Synchronous; hybrid modeling, combining ordered and synchronous features in the same model; creating dimensional formulas; and driving dimensions from the variable table and Excel. Learn how to take advantage of this powerful 3D modeling tool and create complex 3D models. |

Wednesday, May 29, 7 p.m. CDT with Gary Stevens |
|||
Considering a private airport, or wanting to learn more about your airport? This presentation covers the basics of airports, a comprehensive 101 discussion by Gary Stevens, former state and federal airport development and compliance inspector. This presentation will emphasize design, operations, construction, and alterations of privately-owned turf airports and review the approval process of FAA, state, and local zoning authorities. Additionally, it will review how to find additional resources to help your private airport. |
