FAA Safety Seminar 3/16/05

Our Chapter will be holding an FAA safety seminar in conjunction with Kent State Tuscawaras on Wednesday March 16th at 7:00 PM. This educational seminar will be held in the main campus auditorium.

Topics to include the new Light Sport Pilot License and the prerequisites to obtain same.This entry level license does not require an FAA medical and it is hoped it will fuel new interest in recreational aviation due to the lower cost involved in obtaining a pilots license.

The second topic will cover Owner Preventative Maintenance. Indicating those items that an owner pilot may legally perform on his or her aircraft without a mechanics license. Both items are current hot topics and should draw a large crowd.

Please invite anyone interested in recreational aviation to come join us for a very informative evening.

Wright Flyer Video

We will be showing a video at our meeting Wednesday (Feb 9th) produced by Nick Engler and his group of Mark Dusenberry preparing and flying his 1905 Wright Flyer in Dennison. The film has photos showing the Wright brothers preparing their aircraft for flight and then showing our group doing the exact same thing. All put to music with stills of the Wright's flying and video of Mark flying. It is absolutely outstanding. If you don't attend another meeting all year, don't miss this one. This video is unbelievably well done.
