Thanks to everybody who came to the CDM course organized by Steve Powell last weekend! I had a good time meeting everybody, talking with you, and presenting the information we had. The discussion was excellent and even the food was top notch!
For those who have never attended or heard of a CDM, I'd recommend it. These courses are put on all over the country and are listed on the front page of COPA. They're FREE, you get lunch, and more often than not there's a sales person there with a brand new airplane to show off. Bring your spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, kids or anybody else who flies with you regularly as we talk to them about how they can be helpful too.
The course essentially covers what we do as pilots and how we can use a few simple tools to make ourselves safer. We can all use that! We go over some statistics which might surprise you, some methods that are often new to many, and even do a tiny bit of playacting (and special thanks to my helpers in that regard last Saturday). It's a good time and only a few hours long, so fly in and attend one near you! If you don't see one nearby anytime soon, email us and we'll put the gears in motion to make it happen.
Safe flying everybody!
