Join us for the safety seminar at our monthly Hangar Hangout. This month’s topic is “Avoiding Mid-Air Collisions,” presented by Lance Gravlee and Michael Hare.

Reflecting on the number of tragic and seemingly avoidable mid-airs recently, we'd like to break down how an event like this can transpire.  This free, one-hour basic review will easily transfer to any airport you will fly to. Being well-versed in these procedures will protect you from being surprised when someone or something presents you with a strange scenario. Register in advance to receive credit in the FAA Wings Program.

As usual, we’ll be at the club hangar (K12) at Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV). We’ll have refreshments.

Fly safe, fly often.
