IAA-Open House 04/23/2009



IAA Open House Seminar 4/23/2009

As many of you know, we hosted our first Open House for 2009 yesterday (April 23rd 2009) with an Aviation Safety Seminar on Recovering from Bad Landings. We were very pleased with the turn out as many of you came and shared important safety tips from the Industry heavy weights (DuPage Airport Authority, Traffic Control and DuPage-FSDO) and lots of coffee.

We were honored to have a wide spectrum of information from our experienced presenters; the seminar kicked off with an introduction to Bad landings from our own Tim Gillian; next was a priceless over view of the view from above, presented by none other than Mike Carmona, Director of DuPage Airport Traffic Control tower; he was followed by Bob Werderich, President IAA, who carried the theme of the seminar on Bad landings with emphasis on recovery options and Stabilized Approaches; and the seminar was rounded up with Dave Bear, FAA Inspector from the DuPage FSDO, who gave a very insightful run-down on the FAA Compliance and Enforcement program, including do's and many of the don'ts that get us all in trouble every now and again।


This was our first seminar for the year and as you guys can see, what a turn out it turned out to be! We had a great time, lots of good information, some unreserved FAA Inspector moments that were priceless and plenty of Aviation Safety tips, advice and reminders. We would like to thank everybody that showed up for their support and participation, and give a special IAA cheer to the presenters for taking the time out of their very busy schedules to share this information with our pilot community, you made this event a memorable one and we hope to see you back for many more seminars this year!

As for the rest of the community, thanks for the support and please keep it up, we have lots of good seminars planned for the rest of the year that will address as many of your concerns and questions as possible. We set up these seminars to enhance the education and knowledge of our pilots and foster a better understanding of the under workings of the different departments that make Aviation safe and possible. Please remember to check-in ever so often for the latest updates on when the next seminars will be hosted, they are vital to your overall aviation experience.
