Virtual Ultralight Days Sheds Light on Finer Points of Light Flying
The Experimental Aviation Association is holding a series of webinars from February 20th to the 22nd again, this time focusing on the spectrum of Ultralight topics and issues.
The webinars are, as always, free to attend but require prior registration. Those that make it for the full class each time will be eligible for FAA WINGS credit, further adding value to their learning experience. This year's topics will start off rounding the bases for beginners with "Getting Started in Ultralights" and Introduction to Powered Paragliders", before moving on to "Badland Aircraft: The Folding-Wing Ultralight", "Quicksilver Aircraft and Aero 1000 4-Stroke Engine". The first night will culminate in a review of operational needs and maintenance considerations for everyone's favorite ultralight mill, the 2-stroke Rotax.
February 21st, Day 2, will kick off with maintenance tips and inspection techniques for the Quad City Challenger, followed by "Flying Clubs and Ultralight Flight Instruction", Powrachute's "Powered Parachute Basics", "Airspace for Part 103 Paramotors and Ultralights", and "Fabric Covering Light with Stewart Systems". The final day, February 22nd, will see a schedule including "Everything About the Legal Eagle", "Airport Operations and Ultralights", "Safety Condition Inspection for Ultralights", "Basics of Weight Shift Trikes", and end with "2-Stroke Engines: Secrets to Success".
Space isn't exactly limited, but earlier registration always seems to help ensure everything is on the schedule and ready to go the second class is in session - there are only so many chances for easy, free WINGS credit out there, and replays of prior webinars require an EAA membership to view.
