10:30 – 11:30 AM KEYNOTE AREA Nontowered Case Studies: What Went Wrong? Jason Miller – AOPA Air Safety Institute Presenter
Flying at nontowered fields is a balancing act that demands concentration, communication, sharp eyes, solid stick-and-rudder skills, and the ability to improvise at a moment’s notice. This new seminar turns a spotlight on real-life accidents in the nontowered environment. You’ll play the role of accident investigator to figure out what went wrong, and why. 3:30 – 4:30 PM ROOM A | SOUTH FOYER WSDOT Aviation & AOPA NW Mountain Region Updates Tristin Atkins - WSDOT Aviation Director Warren Hendrickson – AOPA NW Mountain Regional Manager

This seminar teaches pilots about mountain meteorology, high altitude operations, high altitude physiology, and survival preparedness. Learn as much as possible about the art and science of flying in the mountains safely. We believe an emphasis on survival planning is an important factor of your education if you plan to fly in mountainous terrain.
