• Situational Awareness; Accident Avoidance; examples and analysis and how we can avoid them, Weight and Balance; worksheet and discussion
• Performance Issues;  airspeed uses in different scenarios, temperatures, decent planning, engine management and IFR factors.

Pete Zaccagnino will teach the seminar, along with two other flight instructors. Al Campbell and Jeff Edwards both bring a wealth of experience with lots of Lancair, turbojet and high performance turbine experience.  Pete is a Gulfstream IV Captain, aeronautical engineer, test pilot and has been teaching in college and flight instructing in everything from jet aircraft to small piston aircraft including aerobatics.
