DON'T BECOME A STATISTIC!!
Pilot related errors are responsible for 75% of fatal aircraft accidents!!

It's sad but true: In an average year, three quarters of all accidents are caused by pilot error. And the mistakes that lead to those accidents? For the most part, they're the same ones pilots have been making for decades.

ASF's latest seminar takes new aim at those old mistakes. We've identified the most common fatal errors pilots make and put together a show that's full of practical tips for avoiding them. From steering clear of weather to maneuvering safely and much more, if you're looking to minimize your chances of being involved in a fatal accident, you'll definitely want to attend this seminar!

This program will qualify as a Safety Seminar for the "Wings" program.

Door Prizes will be given away.

The program is sponsored by: AOPA Air Safety Foundation and the Federal Aviation FAA Team (FAASTeam)

Moyer Aviation Fly-out breakfast postponed to later date

Fly-out message from Moyer Aviation:

Due to our recent bad luck in weather, we are postponing the fly-out to Orange County (KMGJ). We will be having this trip after the fly-out dinner that is planned on April 4th, 2008 to Lancaster (KLNS).

We encourage Student Pilots to go on these trips as well as renters. Flight Instructors are available to assist renters or provide a lesson for students. If you need an instructor, feel free to call us to make one available to you. The aircraft is also available for rent so schedule today! There may also be extra seats available for passengers. Please let us know and we will accommodate as best as possible.

Our most recent flight to Ocean City, New Jersey had a great turnout. We had about 10 aircraft and approximately 18 people. It was a beautiful day for flying and everyone enjoyed the scenery. Whether you flew to the Atlantic coast and down the shoreline (great sight-seeing) or through Philadelphia airspace (talking to controllers), each was a pleasant experience.

Our next flight is going to be a dinner flight and is scheduled for April 4th, 2008 at 6:00pm, weather permitting. We’ll be heading to Lancaster, Pennsylvania (KLNS). Flight instructors will be available for this trip. This flight is a great opportunity to do some night flying and practice communications as you go through controlled airspace. Once again, instructors will be available.

So please come join us for our next Fly-Out to Lancaseter (KLNS). Everyone is invited. There is a sign up sheet at Moyer Aviation. Please call if you have any questions. Also, line service will be available to ready the airplanes (preheat, fuel, window cleaning, etc.).

If weather is pending, we may have to change our destination or cancel altogether. Weather dates will be made available.

Kathy Jaffe Safety Seminar - April 24, 2008

NOTE THIS MONTH'S PROGRAM DATE AND LOCATION:
Thursday, April 24th 7:00 PM
Roy Smith Theatre, Union County College, Cranford, New Jersey

Formed in 1957, this year marks the 51st anniversary of the Mid-Atlantic
Pilots Association, a non-profit flying organization dedicated to air
safety, aviation education and flying camaraderie. All levels of pilots,
student pilots and aviation enthusiasts are invited to join.

THIS EVENT IS FREE. NO RSVP REQUIRED

Featuring: Kathy Jaffe Safety Seminar - Top 5 Mistakes Pilots Make
Speaker: AOPA's Bruce Landsberg, Air Safety Foundation Executive Director
Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, when it comes to flying, most pilots seem
to make the same mistakes and they make them repeatedly. Fortunately,
thousands of pilots want to break that cycle, so it's no wonder the AOPA Air
Safety Foundation's seminar "Top 5 Mistakes Pilots Make" has been setting
attendance records. A February 20th presentation in Portland, Ore., drew an
audience of 530 pilots. "Top 5 Mistakes Pilots Make" helps pilots understand
and avoid general aviation's biggest killers. This record-breaking seminar
is being presented free of charge at dozens of locations across the United
States. The Kathy Jaffe Safety Seminar is honored to present this program.
About Our Speaker:
Bruce Landsberg became the executive director of the AOPA Air Safety
Foundation in May 1992. He is responsible for guiding Foundation activities
including program development, publications, Internet education, special
safety research projects, and donor cultivation. He writes the monthly
"Safety Pilot" column in AOPA Pilot magazine and is a regular contributor to
Flight Training magazine. Prior to becoming ASF's executive director,
Landsberg was Product Marketing Manager for FlightSafety International in
Wichita, Kan., specializing in transition and instrument training programs
for high performance singles, light twins and turboprops, and for airline
pilot recruitment programs. Prior to that, he was Manager for Cessna
Aircraft Company's Air Age education department involved in fleet sales of
aircraft to colleges and universities. Landsberg serves on many committees
representing general aviation safety interests in the FAA, National Weather
Service and NASA. He is also on an advisory board to a major aviation
university. A former U.S. Air Force officer, Landsberg holds a B.A. in
Psychology and a Master's degree in Industrial Technology from the
University of Maryland. He has logged more than 6,000 hours and holds the
ATP, single-engine, multiengine, and instrument flight instructor
