FlySince9
En-Route
I went to an AOPA seminar (THE BIG SKY), last night, with another POA member...
It was 2 hours long 7-9PM... we were hoping for some tips on spotting traffic, interfacing ADS-B info into your scan, operating in congested airspace, and maybe some statistics pointing out some common scenarios that lead to mid-airs. You know, the meat and potatoes of the subject. Instead we got breadcrumbs... about 15-20 minutes of real info and 1:40 minutes of life-stories that culminated in a story about taking a young cancer patient flying... Though a heart tugging story, had nothing to do with The Big Sky... So I left with a vintage-styled Balsa glider, a pen, and knowing nothing more than I knew when I got there... which is, some pilots are jerks so watch out when operating in close proximity to other airplanes...
