5/5/20
7 p.m. CDT
Flight Testing 101
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Paul Dye

Paul Dye presents a look at the things a builder/pilot should consider in planning, training for, and executing a flight test program on their new homebuilt aircraft. This presentation looks at the goals and methods of flight testing, and how to manage potential risks to both pilots and the aircraft so that Phase 1 flight testing goes smoothly and productively.

5/6/20
7 p.m. CDT
Is it Legal to Install?
Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
Mike Busch

What if you want to install something in your certified aircraft (e.g., an automotive seat heater), but the thing you want to install isn't STC’d, PMA'd, TSO'd, or otherwise FAA-approved? Is it legal to do that? Do you need a field approval? In this webinar, Mike Busch, A&P/IA, explains exactly when it's okay to install nonapproved equipment in a certified aircraft and when it isn't.

5/7/20
7 p.m. CDT
Critical RV Flying Skills
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Rian Johnson and Mike Seager

In this session, Rian Johnson and Mike Seager from Vans Aircraft will focus on safety as they cover the importance of transition training prior to flying an RV. They will review the skills that all pilots should be practicing, refining, and perfecting throughout their flying careers.

5/12/20
7 p.m. CDT
ATC and You: Don’t Let That Cloud Mislead You
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Richard Kennington and Bob Obma

Who has a more accurate weather picture, ATC or pilots? Both have pieces to the weather puzzle, but both have their limitations. NATCA air traffic controllers Bob Obma and Richard Kennington will discuss what pilots can expect from ATC. Controllers can help pilots avoid inclement weather; join this webinar and learn how.

5/13/20
7 p.m. CDT
Operation at Towered Airports
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Prof. H. Paul Shuch

It’s not uncommon for aviators to achieve a pilot certificate without ever having operated in any kind of tower-controlled airspace. Even for those who have flown in them before, a towered environment can be rather intimidating. This FAA WINGS webinar will help you to relax and enjoy the interaction with Air Traffic Control. Remember, ATC is there to help!

5/19/20
7 p.m. CDT
Understanding Hypoxia in Aviation
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Steve Martin

Hypoxia in aviation is widely recognized as a potential threat, but poorly understood and under-respected by most aviators as a contributor to other accidents. Aerospace physiologist Steve Martin will discuss the facts and fallacies regarding the different types of hypoxia, recognition, causal and influencing factors, and mitigation techniques necessary to avoid this pervasive issue.

5/20/20
7 p.m. CDT
Getting to Know the Rotax 915 iS Engine
Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
Jorge Tavio

Tune in to this FAA WINGS and AMT qualifying webinar and learn about the newest Rotax aircraft engine. Rotax Flying and Safety Club (RFSC) instructor Jorge Tavio will provide an overview of the Rotax 915 iS. Special focus is on the differences of this fuel-injected, turbocharged engine, compared to other popular Rotax 9-series engines. Special emphasis will be on proper installation, maintenance, and inspection.

5/27/20
7 p.m. CDT
Amateur-Built Condition Inspections
Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
Vic Syracuse

Vic Syracuse will help educate builders and non-builders on the nuances of performing a condition inspection on an amateur-built airplane. Vic has completed hundreds of condition inspections and will be showing many of his findings, including where to look for maintenance wear items. Vic is owner/operator of Base Leg Aviation, a DAR, has built 11 airplanes, is a member of the EAA Homebuilt Aircraft Council, and additionally writes Checkpoints, a column in EAA’s own Sport Aviation Magazine.

6/3/20
7 p.m. CDT
Predictive Maintenance
Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
Mike Busch

Manufacturers of aircraft, engines, propellers, and appliances have traditionally called for performing preventive maintenance on a fixed timetable. A prime example is engine and propeller TBOs. More recently, this time-based approach has given way to condition-based preventive maintenance based on regular repetitive inspections. Now we're beginning to see this inspection-driven approach giving way to predictive maintenance based on analysis of data from sensors installed on the aircraft and engine. In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA discusses this latest trend and how it’s starting to trickle down to owner-flown piston GA.

6/10/20
7 p.m. CDT
Pass Your Checkride
Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
Larry Bothe

Larry Bothe will help you prepare for and pass your checkride. Take control of the process and learn how to get ready and keep the examiner happy. Proper administration is as important as knowledge and skill. As a designated pilot examiner, Larry administered over 1,000 checkrides. He will review common mistakes in both the oral and flying portions and how to avoid them.

6/16/20
7 p.m. CDT
Two Guys, One Airplane, and the 2018 World Advanced Aerobatic Championship
Mike Lents and Aaron McCartan

Mike Lents and Aaron McCartan from the 2018 U.S. Advanced Aerobatic Team will talk about their adventures and teamwork while representing the United States in Ploiești, Romania. Learn what it takes to have an aircraft shipped across the ocean, put back together using the metric system, and flying across eastern Europe under really different rules you just would not believe.

6/17/20
7 p.m. CDT
The Doolittle Raid Story
Chris Henry

Join Chris Henry from the EAA staff as he discusses the story of heroism and inspiration of the men behind the B-25s launched from an aircraft carrier. Chris will share fascinating details of America’s first daring strike back at the homeland of Japan during World War II. Tune in for detailed discussion of the 1942 raid as well as other fascinating events which has honored those involved.

6/24/20
7 p.m. CDT
Your Airworthiness Inspection — Be Ready
Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.
Joe Norris

The final step in building your amateur-built aircraft is the FAA inspection. In this presentation, EAA staff member and designated airworthiness representative Joe Norris will discuss how to prepare for the inspection and how to avoid the most common mistakes.
