The February NMPA Fly-in and safety seminar will be held Tuesday evening, 7 February in Carlsbad. We will meet at the Carlsbad Airport (Cavern City Air Terminal CNM) in the pilot's lounge at 7 pm for a two hour FAA WINGS safety seminar presentation.
Gold Seal CFII Dick Samuels will discuss IFR currency regulations; airspace regulations; and radio communications protocal. FAA official Ron Keller will present the latest information on the deployment of ADS-B; the status of decommissioning of the NDBs and if you can still use them for practice approaches; the updated AFSS timelines; and the next generation FAA communication radios. NMPA president Bob Worthington will discuss pilot's personal; go-no go decidions and what to do when having either VFR or IFR radio failure.
This will also offer attendees the opportunity to ask questions regarding any aviation or FAA concerns you might have. Samuels is a retired USAF pilot and retired university aeronautical professor. Keller is an FAA employee and assistant manager in radar and communications technology. Worthington is an aviation writer and aviation business consultant. All three are FAA Aviation Safety Counselors and NMPA members.
