Say Again? Radio Communication Done Right

Hear the other side of the story from air traffic controllers. Find out how to increase your margin of safety through effective communication with ATC. Don't miss this informative safety seminar designed to imoprove your communication skills and decrease your workload as a pilot.
Real World IFR
Sure, you breezed through the check ride or aced that last proficiency check. But you're still hesitant to venture aloft on that "three hundred and one" day. Find out how pilots who fly every day in all kinds of weather do it. ASI's "Real World IFR" safety seminar goes beyond basic IFR training into the world of professional piloting. Even if you don't make a career out of it, you can at least emulate the stellar safety record of the pros.
Close Calls: Lessons Learned
At one time or another, many of us have found ourselves in "uncomfortable" situations aloft. In some cases the problems couldn't be predicted; in others the warnings show up in hindsight like neon signs. Either way, there are things to be learned. That's the idea behind "Close Calls, Lessons Learned," a riveting new seminar in which you'll meet five real pilots sharing true stories of their most harrowing moments aloft.
Here's what pilots are saying about our safety seminars
"...a pilot who saw the TOLDs seminar last year says that she thinks our advice to "land straight ahead" may have saved her life this past year when she had an engine out. She uses the technique we teach of "spring loading" herself on every takeoff, and so she was able to instantly respond when the engine did fail. Even was able to stay on the runway!"
"A very potent presentation. Left me with a few, but powerful tools that I feel I could stick to in an emergency."
"The best I have been to — this was extremely beneficial."
"Good, fast-moving presentation — very practical with varied examples."
"Very good presentation! The instructor had the audience thinking through the entire evening."
