New general aviation seminar to debut at ‘Crash Course’

By Janice Wood · February 22, 2012 ·

The Aero Club of New England (ACONE) will hold its Crash Course Monday, March 5, which will include an expanded 45-minute review of regional accidents, followed by the debut of AOPA Air Safety Institute’s newest safety seminar: Wanted: Alive! Reining in the Fatal Accident Rate.

Latest statistics show the general aviation accident rate is not dropping and pilots continue to find themselves in the same accident-causing scenarios that have been plaguing them for years, ACONE officials note.

The program will begin with Amy Corbett, FAA Regional Administrator and ACONE member, providing the opening remarks.

This seminar qualifies towards the FAA Wings program.  The program will be held from 6:30-9:15 p.m. at the Doubletree Hotel (Boston/Bedford Glen), 44 Middlesex Turnpike, Bedford, Mass. Free admission; free parking; cash bar; vendor exhibits; door and raffle prizes; no reservations required.

ACONE, a non-profit organization, the AOPA Air Safety Institute, and the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) are the primary sponsors of the event.
