Course Addresses Radio Use In Pattern
The Popular Rotorcraft Association (PRA), working in conjunction
with the FAASTeam, the FAA’s safety education program, has
received approval to grant WINGS continuing education credits to
pilots attending a March 1 webinar, Radio Use in the Traffic
Pattern by Pilots of Light Sport Aircraft. This webinar, which
starts at 1900 EST, will be of value to pilots of low-mass, high
drag aircraft as well as pilots of larger, faster aircraft wanting
a better understanding of what to expect when flying with these
slower aircraft in the pattern.
Presenter Tim O’Connor, a Certified Flight Instructor,
Advanced Ground Instructor and FAASTeam Representative Volunteer,
received notice from FAA Great Lakes Region FAASTeam Program
Manager Jason Forshey that PRA webinar attendees will be eligible
for WINGS credit and will have the class added to their WINGS
instructional record.
Radio Use in the Traffic Pattern by Pilots of Light Sport
Aircraft is free. Both student pilots and seasoned pilots are
invited to attend. The webinar will include basic instruction on
radio use by pilots in LSA aircraft and discuss pattern operations
at non-towered airports. The program's focus is on flying, and
flying with, low-mass, high-drag small aircraft such as small
airplanes, trikes, powered parachutes, gyroplanes and light
helicopters in the traffic pattern.
The PRA, formed in 1962, remains the only US organization
devoted exclusively to pilots and builders of personal rotorcraft
such as gyroplanes and small helicopters. The PRA will continue to
work with the FAA to improve personal rotorcraft safety, including
quality, free education events.
