Houston Next Stop For Traveling Seminar

The next in the continuing series of WAAS Seminars hosted by Progressive Aviation Services, LLC is coming up next weekend. The Houston WAAS & Advanced IFR Refresher Seminar will be held on April 4 at the West Houston Airport (IWS) in the main terminal building conference room.

As with other past locations, this seminar is open to anyone interested in WAAS operations and/or just looking for a good IFR refresher.  The seminar is NOT Cirrus-specific, per se, and is open to anyone.

The info presented is appropriate to current WAAS-pilots, and to pilots who are considering a WAAS upgrade and want to understand what they'd be buying beforehand. It is also an excellent review/overview of many IFR procedural items for all pilots.

Matthew McDaniel of Progressive Aviation Services, LLC, said, "The one-day seminar covers all aspects of WAAS operations, specifics related to all Garmin 400W & 500W-series avionics (as well as Garmin G1000 & Perspective and Avidyne Entegra avionics) and lots of generally related IFR procedural stuff that fits well into the flow of information presented.

"The seminar is guided by a custom PowerPoint Presentation I've developed and supplemented with paper handouts, internet sites, dry-erase board doodling and interactive participation between myself and you (the audience)," McDaniel said.

"Previously, about half the pilots in attendance were not Cirrus owners/pilots, but either had or wanted WAAS equipment in their current aircraft (Bonanza/Baron, Mooney, Meridian/Matrix/Malibu, Citation, and even Helicopters, etc). So, while the seminar will be Cirrus-centric, it's flexible enough for people flying other aircraft to get a lot out of it too."

A continental-style breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks will be provided at the seminar.  Doors open at 8 am. The actual teaching portion will begin at 9 am and should be done by 4:30 pm or so, depending on the number of questions and the discussions they generate.

Although pre-registration has already closed, Aero-News readers can qualify for the pre-registration price simply by telling organizers ANN sent you, a savings of $55.
