Safety Seminar at Princeton Airport
Pilots throughout the region are invited to a free Safety
Seminar on Wednesday, October 30, at 7 p.m. sponsored by Princeton
Airport at its newly expanded facility on Route 206, three-and-a-half
miles north on Princeton. Call 609-921-3100 or visit www.princetonairport.com
Scott Smith, a representative of Garmin International, presents
an interactive program showing the latest features available to pilots
to improve their navigational procedures. GPS is a satellite-based
navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into
orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. The first units were very
costly, but with modern technology, these units are now available
to most pilots and are extremely accurate because of multi-channel
design.
Representatives of the David Clark Company will display the wide variety
of headsets available to pilots. Also on display: two new American
Champion aircraft, a Super Decathlon and an Explorer. Attendance at
the seminar counts toward the FAA Pilot Proficiency Program, where
pilots are encouraged to receive three hours of recurrent training
and attend a safety seminar to earn a set of wings and a certificate.
