This partnership with ASF is a model for joint industry-government efforts to drive the accident rate even lower. Across the nation, all 1998 Air Safety Foundation seminars will be devoted to weather because it is pilots' top safety concern. From 1982 to 1993, adverse weather was involved in more than one-quarter of all accidents. The seminar also teaches pilots how to evaluate information from AWOS and ASOS automated weather reporting systems. All pilots in seminar areas will be advised of a nearby seminar by mail.
Attendance is free of charge and open to all pilots.
The AOPA Air Safety Foundation is the nonprofit educational organization solely dedicated to improved general aviation safety. It is supported primarily by contributions from individual pilots, foundations, companies and states that share ASF's dedication to safer flying.
