Seminars – Friday 22nd March 2024

UPRTJeremy Miller  – Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is the new catch phrase in aviation, but what is it really? It is not Stalling and Spinning. Not Aerobatics. Not Unusual Attitude training. It is not what you expect, but it will keep you and your family safe. Are you prepared for a Loss of Control inflight?

**CASA – Rob Whittle  – Fuel for thought – Your safety is in your hands. Decisions in aviation rely on pilots as the last line of defence in preventing accidents and incidents. Making sound decisions and operating safely, through discussions on fuel exhaustion and starvation, decision making and a accident case study.

iOR Aviation – Jack Vicary iOR’s Development Manager will be providing an update on the new fuel that iOR have developed, Avpulp. This fuel is suitable for aircraft that are approved to use Mogas. Find out more by attending this informative seminar.

How AI is transforming aviation wildlife risk management – Stu McGraw will be presenting an overview on how to build a holistic wildlife data ecosystem that provides value to all stakeholders – airports, pilots, ATC and Government.

ATSB – Dr David Wilson – Caught in the Weather? – Dr Wilson will focus on understanding weather forecasts and some of the terminology and definitions used which pilots need to be aware of to remain clear of the weather. Valuable information to keep you safe. Not to be missed!

From initial conception, to flying in front of 300,000 spectators, the team has achieved a lot in a short time. Find out more about formation flying and why they do it every weekend.

This workshop is aimed at giving SAAA members an overview of what is needed to choose the right type of aerospace hoses for your application, ensuring that your aircraft operates efficiently and compliant to safety standards. The hands on event is aimed to give attendees a familiarisation of hose design, assembly methods and Q&A group discussion to help choose the right hoses for your application.

ATC Brief & Flight Planning Workshop – In this workshop, James will share with you some foundational knowledge about the basic classes of Controlled and Restricted airspace, how to get the best results from ATC and how do ATC’s make decisions and what really goes on behind the scenes.  This will be followed by a facilitated “Electronic Flight Bag” modern flight planning.  We are still taught how to flight plan on a bit of paper, but nobody actually does this anymore. Both AvPlan and OzRunways will be assisting you with your EFB in this workshop.
