Progressive Aviation Services Hosting One-Day Educational
Forums
A series of one-day seminars by Progressive Aviation Services
seek to educate pilots about the benefits of Wide Area Augmentation
System (WAAS) navigation, and make pilots more familiar with the
equipment needed to utilize the services offered.
Matthew McDaniel with PAS tells Aero-News the seminars are aimed
at current WAAS pilots, as well as pilots who are considering a
WAAS upgrade and want to understand what they’d be buying
beforehand. Non-WAAS pilots may still benefit from the review and
overview of IFR procedures, he adds.
The one-day seminars cover all aspects of WAAS operations,
specific to all Garmin 400W & 500W-series avionics, as well as
Garmin G1000 & Perspective and Avidyne Entegra glass panel
systems. The seminar is guided by a custom PowerPoint Presentation,
developed by McDaniel, and supplemented with paper handouts,
internet sites, dry-erase board doodling and interactive
participation
McDaniel says that while the seminars are geared primarily
towards Cirrus pilots, about half the pilots attending prior
seminars either had or wanted WAAS equipment in their current
non-Cirrus plane.
The first seminar of 2009 was held February 7, at Indiana's
North Vernon Airport (OVO.) The next seminar is scheduled for March
14 in Hilton Head, SC (HXD) followed by a March 21 meeting at
Gillespie Field Airport (KSEE) in San Diego, CA.
A fourth seminar is scheduled April 11 at Sugar Land Airport
(SGR) near Houston, TX. Future dates are to be determined, and
price and admissions information is available at the FMI link
