About this Presentation
Every time we fly we must make decisions about which route and at what altitude to fly, and whether or not to fly at all. This program will cover:

• The reasons more flights are delayed, diverted or canceled
• How to better quantify the factors that determine safety and utility of flight
• Turning theory into good, real-world flying decisions
• Making some of the “unknowns” known, to more confidently make operational and safety decisions
• Answers to member questions

Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar. This program is recognized for ABS AVIATOR and FAA WINGS credit.

Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech Bonanzas, Debonairs, Barons and Travel Airs, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
