FLY SAFE

Freezing Fog, Icing and Other Winter Hazards

Join us as we kick off the Fly Safe season with a timely discussion on aviation hazards found when flying the Sierra in the winter. Mountain Lion Aviation’s Chris Barbera returns to share the wisdom he’s acquired over decades of flying into Truckee. He’ll review real-life incidents and cover critical issues like freezing fog, airframe icing, contaminated runways and rapidly changing weather. Be prepared for your next flight here this winter and join your fellow aviators live in Truckee or online via Zoom for this FAA WINGS credited event.

Tuesday, February 10 @ 5:30pm
