SAFETY SEMINAR COLLISION COURSE-AVOIDING AIRBORNE TRAFFIC THE RISK OF A COLLISION INCREASES when multiple aircraft converge near the same navaid or approach the same airport. Even advanced cockpit technology may increase collision risk because it ensures more precise course and altitude tracking, which also means that more aircraft may converge in the same airspace, effectively shrinking our "big sky." Regardless of ATC support and in-cockpit traffic displays, midair collisions still make the newspaper headlines and close calls still happen too frequently. Made possible by the generous support of Joyce Gardella in memory of Paul Gardella The Air Safety Institute's Collision Course: Avoiding Airborne Traffic seminar identifies high-risk scenarios and locations, then lays out strategies for avoiding them. From congested corridors to frenetic flyins, your seminar leader will talk about: * Human eye limitations that impact the "see and avoid" philosophy * Proven techniques on enhancing visual scan effectiveness * Maximizing your visibility to other aircraft * The promise and peril of cockpit technology * "Danger zones" you may not be aware of Locate a seminar near you (airsafetyinstitute.org/seminars). IT TAKES JUST 90 MINUTES- SHARE THE FREE SEMINAR WITH YOUR STUDENTS The widow of a pilot in a fatal Virginia midair collision that involved FAA and NTSB personnel in 2012 has put the spotlight on collision avoidance through pilot education and awareness. The seminar is made possible by the generous support of Joyce Gardella in memory of her husband Paul Gardella, who was killed in a mid-air collision in 2012. Her generosity provides GA pilots an opportunity to improve flying safely. Please invite your friends and fellow pilots to learn more and attend at a location near you.
