Learn and earn your way to becoming a better pilot

By General Aviation News Staff · December 20, 2014 ·

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Foundation’s (AOPA) Air Safety Institute (ASI) has launched the “Earn & Learn Safety Challenge,” a new program that enters those who take aviation safety courses into a quarterly drawing for aviation gear.

A new prize will be awarded each quarter, beginning with a Stratus 2 ADS-B receiver – an $899 value — courtesy of Sporty’s Pilot Shop. The first prize winner will be announced in April.

ASI’s safety courses are available to both AOPA members and non-members. Participants will automatically receive a prize entry for each completed free online safety course, Real Pilot Story or Accident Case Study.

The more courses completed, the more chances each individual will have to win.

Pilots who are new to ASI courses can start with an easy, interactive safety challenge that will match them with a course tailored specifically to their experience level and flying style.

Visitors can take the challenge as many times as they like, or they can just go to the ASI website to view their online transcript to identify other courses that will enter them in the prize drawing.

Courses listed in the transcript with a gray star are eligible for the Learn & Earn drawing, while a gold star will depict courses that have been completed.

The Air Safety Institute’s “Learn & Earn Safety Challenge” will run throughout 2015, with four separate winners announced in April, July, October and January. Visit Learn & Earn for complete rules and additional details.
