Guest Speaker
John Katsaros is a World War II veteran. A B-17 crew member shot down over Reims, France, John parachuted from 25,000 feet. He survived, was captured and became a POW. He obtained his freedom after numerous harrowing escape attempts.
We are honored to announce that John will be with us on December 4th. He'll join us for our barbeque and then tell his amazing story of resistance, escape and evasion. Please join us for lunch, view John's slide show, and hear the recollections of a brave man. |

Hypoxia and You
At what altitude do you begin to experience the effects of hypoxia? It differs for each individual. Are you able to recognize the onset of symptoms and take corrective action?
Listen to this link. It is a radio exchange between Cleveland Center Controllers Stephanie Bevins, Marvin McCombs and Kalitta 66, a Learjet based in Ypsilanti Michigan, on July 26, 2008.
The actions of the 2 ATC professionals earned them the Archie League Medal of Safety Awards 2009 - Great Lakes Region. |

Safety Seminars
Did you know you can receive notices whenever a safety seminar is scheduled near you? FAASafety.Gov has information about seminars, the FAA Safety Team, the WINGS Program, and more. December 7 - Post Accident Survival
Most aircraft accidents are survivable. Whether the pilot and passengers remain alive to be rescued is often a matter of whether they were prepared for the post-accident survival situation. This seminar will focus on how to be prepared for basic land survival in winter conditions. The speakers are John Wood from the Portland FSDO and Rick Bendel, CFI.
January 18 - Medical Certifications
Dr. Clark, FAA New England Region Regional Flight Surgeon, and Dr. Ray, Deputy Flight Surgeon, will discuss pilot medical certifications. We will make sure to leave plenty of time for individual questions and answers.
