• Keeping current as a pilot, which can be tough when you don’t work for an airline or fly professionally every day.
• Topics include:
  • Flying with non-pilot passengers.
  • Flying IFR.
  • Using an iPad as your “flight bag.”
  • IFR Departures and Arrivals.
  • 10 commonly missed questions on the IFR oral exam and 10 questions for a pilot interview that most people get wrong (both taught by Carl himself!).
• Presentations will only be 45 minutes with a break in between and a Starbucks in the lobby!
• Held at the Florida Hotel and Conference Center just west of Orlando International Airport and attached to the Florida Mall, about 15 minutes from the theme parks.
• You can fly into Orlando International, Orlando Executive, or Kissimmee Airport.
• Rooms $132 per night, which is much cheaper than normal. Other hotel options are available.
