NMPA MEMBERS January meeting notice.
The January NMPA fly-in and safety seminar will be on Sat 7 January at Desert Aviation FBO, Deming, NM (DMN), with the manager, Bob Benevidez, being our host. The seminar will be from 10 am until noon.
The presenters will be FAA employee Ron Keller who will discuss the updated AFSS timelines; ADS-B deployment decisions and schedule; the latest status on the decommissioned NDB approaches (can you still use them for practice approaches?); and the next generation FAA communication radios. NMPA president Bob Worthington will discuss every pilot's personal go-no go decisions and what to do with VFR/IFR radio failure. Gold Seal CFII Dick Samuels will present info on current airspace regulations; radio communications procedures; and IFR currency requirements. If possible Ron will bring an FAA Air Traffic Controller to address ATC procedures and you, the pilot. These topics should be of interest to all pilots and with the different backgrounds of the presenters this is your opportunity to ask questions and get the straight answers.
After the seminar Desert Aviation will host a free hamburger cookout.
