Northern Lake Amphibian Pilots'
Fly-In & Safety Seminar

2005 Program


Friday - Sunday:   Pilots’ Sessions  9:30 to 12:00

SHOP TALK & FLYING FORUM:  

Elton, Jim and Harry will walk you through several topics of interest and answer your questions.  These include flying tips and pilot techniques as well as maintenance tips and general mechanical  airworthiness discussions

Jay Beard will do a presentation on the art of cockpit  and radio communication.
  • Jay (a professional pilot and instructor) will make understandable a topic on which entire books have been written!
  • Learn about one pilot vs. two pilot thinking and communicating
  • For the pilot and co-pilot - get some tips on what to do before and after hitting that mic button!

Nick Ryder will talk to us about “Understanding the Aircraft Appraisal Process and Lake Amphibians”.
  • How aircraft are appraised
  • What you can do to increase the valuation of your aircraft
  • What moneys spent will show little return at resale time

Proper valuation of your aircraft can have a big impact on insurance coverage and estate planning. Accurate valuation impacts how quickly a plane will sell.
 

Friday to Saturday afternoons

New this year. All are welcome to informal afternoon sessions including plane walk-arounds and an open discussion forum hosted by Elton.

Looking for somewhere interesting to fly? Want to learn about great destinations & share some flying stories? Low-key afternoon sessions will include chats on where to take your lake. Bring charts/maps to share with other pilots.

Companion Sessions:  9:30 to 12:00

There will be something for everyone!
