Washington Pilots Association Spokane Chapter 

Monthly Meeting

Topic: Aircraft Transition Training, 16 Jan

 Summary: How much training is appropriate when preparing to operate an unfamiliar aircraft type? This discussion will focus on what pilots should consider before taking to the air for the first time in a new aircraft type. We will discuss General Aviation Manufacturing Association (GAMA) recommendations, Advisory Circular 90-109A, and practical experience.

Jon Weber is our speaker and professional instructor at Parkwater Aviation, the factory training provider for the Quest Aircraft Company. Jon has worked with many pilots transitioning into the Quest Kodiak, including many who are making their first transitions into heavier singles, glass cockpits, turboprops, or some/all of the above.

WINGS credit is not available because of the government shutdown
