October Webinars
Why Annual Inspections?  |  Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit
Wednesday, October 2, at 7 p.m. CDT
Presenters: 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.

November Webinars
Distrust and Verify  |  Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 7 p.m. CST
Presenters: Mike Busch

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. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.

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.

IFR Departures: From Planning to the En Route Environment  |  Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit
Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 7 p.m. CST
Presenter: Tom Turner

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:
  • Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs)
  • Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs)
  • Visual Climb Over Airport (VCOA) procedures
  • Departing VFR to pick up your clearance in the air
  • Abnormal and emergency procedures during an IFR departure
  • Maintaining currency and proficiency in IFR departure procedures
  • Answers to viewer questions
