0 Aviation Safety Week is Oct. 25-28

The Virginia Department of Aviation and AOPA Air Safety Foundation will present safety seminars at four locations across the Commonwealth of Virginia Oct. 25-28 from 7-9 p.m.

Andy Miller will present "Real World IFR:"

Sure, you breezed through the check ride or aced that last proficiency check. But you're still hesitant to venture aloft on that "three hundred and one" day. Find out how pilots who fly every day in all kinds of weather do it. ASF's "Real World IFR" Safety Seminar goes beyond basic IFR training into the world of professional piloting. Even if you don’t make a career out of it, you can at least emulate the stellar safety record of the pros.

Andy flies all over the country in his beautiful 1973 Cessna Skylane to help pilots and CFIs sharpen their skills. A member of the National Speakers Association Wisconsin chapter, Andy has extensive experience speaking in the technology world, and in 2004 he joined the AOPA Air Safety Foundation first as a Safety Seminar presenter, and now as a FIRC instructor. A commercial pilot, he holds CFI-A, CFI-I, IGI, and AGI certificates. He regularly flies Young Eagle and Angel Flight missions, is an AOPA Airport Support Network Volunteer, and serves as a FAASTeam Lead Representative in the Great Lakes Region.
