Weather; judgment, planning, rules of thumb, examples and how
it relates to our aircraft
GPS/WAAS; the system and how it all works, approaches, Arinc
424, RAIM, FDE, RNP, WAAS approaches and where we can use them
Aerodynamics; Laminar flow, trouble areas and lift
discussion
Airspace and IFR operations; aircraft category and how it
affects the approach, flight planning, briefing for departure,
enroute and arrival
Situational Awareness; Accident Avoidance; examples and
analysis and how we can avoid them, Weight and Balance; worksheet
and discussion
Performance Issues; airspeed uses in different scenarios,
temperatures, decent planning, engine management and IFR
factors.
Pete Zaccagnino will teach the seminar, along with two other
flight instructors. Al Campbell and Jeff Edwards both bring a
wealth of experience with lots of Lancair, turbojet and high
performance turbine experience. Pete is a Gulfstream IV
Captain, aeronautical engineer, test pilot and has been teaching in
college and flight instructing in everything from jet aircraft to
