Great flying club meeting tonight, along with an FAA Safety Seminar by Jurg Grossenbacher.

Tonight's flying club meeting will be held at the Oshkosh Airport terminal building. Note that this meeting starts at 6:00 PM rather than the usual 6:30 start time. The earlier start time allows us to complete the business meeting prior to the FAA safety seminar, which starts at 7:00 PM.
We hope you’ll be able to attend both the club meeting and the safety seminar. See you at 6:00!

Our Next Meeting!
"Landings for All of Us"
Tuesday, December 3, 2024, starting at 18:00 Central Standard Time

Topic: What About My Landing

Located at:
Wittman Regional Airport
Conference Room
525 W 20th Avenue
Oshkosh, WI 54901

Description:
Takeoff and Landing Accidents account for 70% of all GA Accidents and Wisconsin had 31 Landing Accidents in FY 2024 alone, why is that? Is it that pilots aren't proficient? Is it that pilots forget the basics or is it because they try to safe the landing rather than perform a go around.

If you felt that the Engine Failure Startle Effect was worth your time to attend in 2022 then you will be pleased to know that the same team of CFI's have developed the Good Landings do not happen by Accident seminar series. During this seminar Jurg Grossenbacher, Milwaukee FAA will answer these questions for you.

•Why are we talking about landings
•Unstabilized Approaches
•What is stabilized
•What isn’t
•How do we stay Air Safety Institute

One credit for advanced knowledge topic in the FAA Wings Program.
