Alaska 'Flying Companion' Seminar

99s Sponsor Special Course For MIPs (Most-Important PAX)

Sometimes, our frequent passengers are afraid to ask -- we'll talk too much. Sometimes they're annoyed with the way men explain things (and, since 19 of 20 US pilots are male, that's a big stumbling block).

Anyway, the Mat-Su Chapter 99s and the Alaska Chapter 99s are sponsoring a "Spring Flying Companion Seminar," a week from this weekend, at mile 7 of the Palmer-Wasilla Highway, at the Mat-Su Covenant Church.

This seminar is designed for the spouse, friend,of frequent passenger who would like to learn more about flying to make them a more comfortable, helpful passenger, especially in an emergency situation.

Participants will receive instruction in the following areas:

  • basic navigation and navigation instruments
  • basic flight controls
  • use of aircraft radios and terminology, and
  • emergency procedures and survival.
But wait! There's More: Simulator time

In addition, participants will receive hands-on experience with a flight simulator and hand-held radios.

'Men explaining things' won't be the problem...

All instructors are licensed local women pilots with both instructional and flying experience.

A Certificate of Completion will be presented at the end of the course.

The whole course costs $80.
