SUMMARY:Fly by Night - AOPA Air Safety Institute FREE Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join AOPA ASI At Clayton Homes\, Thursday Oct. 12\, 2017 \nAll nights are not created equal. Especially in light aircraft\, flying after dark comes with real trade-offs. Smooth air\, better performance\, and stunning views are great—but they’re offset by trickier landings\, invisible terrain\, and limited emergency options. So what’s the key to staying safe after sundown? \nASI’s new seminar looks at night flying from a risk management perspective. Using decades of accident data\, we identify common problems and recommend the best ways to avoid them. Along the way\, we talk about: \n\nRequirements for pilots and aircraft\nUnique flight planning considerations\nWhy all nights are not created equal\nThings that can take you by surprise

SUMMARY:ADS-B & Me in Morristown
DESCRIPTION:Carpenter Avionics\, an award-winning aviation services company based in the Nashville area\, kicks off this weekend ADS-B & Me!\, a multi-city FAA Safety Team (FAAST) briefing event series that helps prepare general aviation aircraft owners and operators to take advantage of NextGen Aviation\, an important enhancement to our national airspace now operational. \nThe first ADS-B & Me event will take place at the airport in Rome\, Georgia\, on Saturday\, April 23. Six other events are now scheduled across middle and eastern Tennessee in Smyrna\, Nashville\, Sewanee\, Chattanooga\, Knoxville and Morristown in May and June.  The series will continue in many other cities across the Mid-South in Tennessee and adjacent states for the foreseeable future.  Attendance is free. \nDetails for each event’s location and date are available on the Carpenter Avionics website and on the FAA Safety Team website at www.FAASafety.gov .  Cities and dates are listed below.  Because this is a FAAST Briefing\, pilots earn FAA Wings Program Credit and aircraft mechanics earn FAA AMT Credit by attending this event. \n“The Federal Aviation Administration has mandated that aircraft operating in U.S. airspace must be equipped with ADS-B by January 1\, 2020\,” said Mark Lee\, President of Carpenter Avionics. “This mandate was first announced in 2010\, though so far\, only about 25% of general aviation aircraft in the U.S. are ADS-B equipped. The ADS-B & Me! NextGen Learning Series is intended to help aircraft owners and operators determine how they can confidently move forward with ADS-B equipage.” \nAttendees at each ADS-B & Me! Event will learn what’s behind ADS-B – why it matters and how it works. They will learn about ADS-B benefits.  The session also addresses various myths about the topic.  A major focus of the session is to cover practical things aircraft owners and operators should consider as they think about how to equip their aircraft to comply with the FAA Mandate for ADS-B equipage.  January 1\, 2020\, will be here before you know it! \nHere is how attendees rated a preview version of this presentation delivered at the Tennessee Mid-South Aviation Maintenance Conference in March 2016 in Nashville: \n\nOverall session content: 9.1 out of 10.\nOverall\, presenter: 9.2 out of 10.\nOverall\, “I would recommend this session to other aircraft owners & operators”: 9.4 out of 10.\n\nExperts from Carpenter Avionics\, a multi-year\, national award-winning avionics service center from Music City\, will drive the presentation. Events in some cities will feature additional speakers. This educational session will cover a broad array of types of equipment\, brands\, and more with a focus on actionable ADS-B information for aircraft operators. “ADS-B” refers to Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast\, an important technology that is helping to transform national and international air traffic control from ground-based systems to satellite-based systems. ADS-B is an important part of the FAA’s NextGen Aviation Program\, which aligns with aviation modernization programs worldwide to increase aviation safety\, efficiency\, capacity\, and enable many other benefits. \nDATE     CITY & STATE \nApr 23   Rome\, GA (KRMG) \nMay 5   Smyrna\, TN (KMQY) \nMay 17 Nashville\, TN (KBNA) \nJun 2   Sewanee\, TN (KUOS) \nJun 9   Chattanooga\, TN (KCHA) \nJun 14  Knoxville\, TN (KDKX) \nJun 16  Morristown\, TN (KMOR) \nMany more cities to follow!

SUMMARY:iPad & Foreflight Training
DESCRIPTION:Did you get an iPAD for Christmas? Are you overwhelmed in learning how to realize the potential of the available In cockpit navigational programs available ?  Do you have a program loaded and ‘sort of’ know how to use it?  Would you like to make a quantum leap in your knowledge of this amazing technology? Or maybe you are considering buying a tablet and a navigational program\, and just want to learn more? Well\, here is your opportunity! \n\n\nAs a benefit of your membership in Chapter 17 and the generosity of Chapter 17 ForeFlight Users\, you are invited to a FREE\, comprehensive training session on the iPad and ForeFlight. \n\n\nWe are fortunate to have in our Chapter Joe Marshall and Tony Vermillion who are very skilled with the use of the IPad and Foreflight\, and they have agreed to provide us with a follow up and update of their 2013 seminar.  This year\, the program will be greatly expanded.  To make it even better\, McGhee-Tyson (MKAA) is providing us the use of their training facility\, complete with audio visual equipment\, and a true class room environment. (2950 Airfield Service Drive\, Alcoa 37701 \,Building #510) \n\n\nThis program will be conducted in two segments. The first will be a basic session to get new and intermediate users ‘on the same page’.  There is a whole lot to assimilate\, and if these basics are not understood\, the more advanced features are difficult to learn.  The objective will start with loading software\, work through basic set up and settings\, optimizing the iPad and battery\, and progress through downloading data and navigating Foreflight menus.  By the end of this approximately two hour session\, everyone will be able to plan and create a comprehensive VFR flight plan from one airport to another\, and learn how to store this plan.  There will be plenty for the intermediate and advanced users to learn……and they can help the beginning user. Jerry Depew and Tom Roush will conduct this session. \n\n\nAfter an hour lunch break (brown bag\, or fast food across 129 at one of the many fast food places\, or maybe order a pizza or two. \n\n\n The second session will pick up where the first session left off with Tony and  Joe teaching advanced techniques.  Weather forecasting\, prog charts\, winds aloft\, check lists\, document storage\, multiple leg flight plans\, filing of flight plans\, short cuts\, trouble shooting\, using the touch screen\,  airport and taxi diagrams\, creating way points\, ADS-B via Stratus\, including ‘free weather’ \, and the advantages (or not) of buying the Pro Version. \n\n\n With ForeFlight updating and improving their program weekly\, there is always something new to learn.  Time permitting\, use of Foreflight as a back up to IFR flight instrumentation will be included. \n\n\n REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDING. \n\n\nYou MUST register. Name\, telephone number\, email address\, and EAA and/or Chapter 17 member or not. You do not have to be a member\, but you MUST pre register. Send this information to Tom Roush\, mtntom2@aol.com  No later than Friday morning\n\nIf you are not sure if you are coming or not\, please register anyway. Please. \n\nYou MUST have an iPad or iPad Mini.  (Buy\, Beg\, borrow\, or steal). Really\, this is a condition of attending.\n\nYour IPad MUST have Foreflight.  A free 30 day version is available on iTunes. \n\n\nSorry\, but other navigational programs such as WingX Pro and Garmin are outside the scope of this program. \n\n\nPLEASE WATCH Foreflight 101 and Foreflight 201 before you come (click the links to launch the videos). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt will be helpful and time saving if at least Tennessee and surrounding state charts are preloaded into Foreflight.\n\n\n\n\nAlso helpful will be to load in the performance information on your favorite airplane. If you don’t have a favorite\, use a Cessna 172 P.\n\n\n\nAn iPhone\, even the 6s\,  while a decent back up to the iPad\, does NOT run the same software as the tablet and will cause you confusion during the class\, unless you are a really advanced user.  Bring it as an adjunct to your iPad\, if you wish.\nIdeally\, your WiFi IPad is much more versatile with an internal GPS\, and  cellular data subscription\, but don’t get these for this class.\n\n\n\nIf you have STRATUS\, please bring it.\n\n\n\n\nWiFi will be available.
