Live Webinar On March 21 To Include Speakers, Panel Discussions

For the first time ever, The FAASTeam will facilitate a National Virtual Aviation Safety Stand Down. The event will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2015. The event will be done in live webinar format and will feature several speakers, all experts in their field. Each presentation will be followed by a panel discussion and attendees will have the opportunity to participate live.

Attendance at the event will be valid for all three WINGs Knowledge Credits at the Basic Level. The event has been scheduled for a time that should work for all time zones in the Continental U.S. The event can be attended on computers and personal electronic devices, but maximum benefit can be obtained by viewing with a group.

The FAASTeam is asking for help from the pilot community to help promote the event locally and in securing FBOs, flight schools, flying clubs, and individuals to host the event at their facilities or homes. Hosting consists of showing the webinar on a large screen TV or projecting it onto a screen or wall. A web page has been created to assist hosts in their set-up and additional technical support is also available. Of course, some refreshments are always appreciated by attendees. Details on hosting a local event can be found here.

FAASTeam Representatives, meanwhile, are encouraged to create their own event on SPANS and treat it as you would any other seminar after discussing it with their local FAASTeam Program Manager. The SPANs event for those that choose to participate in the event on their own using their own computer or electronic device will be disseminated in a couple of weeks.

The March 21 event is free to everyone and represents the partnership between the FAASTeam and the Advocates for Aviation Safety Foundation, Inc.
