Good decisions start before takeoff. Join two Bakersfield Flying Club instructors for an interactive safety seminar exploring how pilots recognize risk, manage workload, and make sound decisions throughout a flight.

Through practical scenarios and group discussion, we’ll examine pilot readiness, aircraft limitations, weather, and external pressures using the PAVE checklist and other decision-making tools. Whether you’re a student or an experienced pilot, bring your questions and perspectives for a conversation focused on safer flying.

Miles delivers the genus and species of all those white specters you so frequently fly through, some you have never seen or heard of. Enhance your understanding of aviation weather and build your skills in safe flight planning.
