NOTICE OF NMPA UPCOMING EVENTS

There are two events in January that may be of interest to you. Unfortunately, both are on the same weekend.

On Saturday, 12 January at Desert Aviation FBO at Deming (DMN) NMPA will host a safety seminar. It will be from 10 am until noon and then a free hamburger lunch will be served. The topic will be basic survival skills for pilots. It will cover all aspects of surviving after a plane goes down and will have exhibits of survival equipment which should be on board our airplanes. The presentation will be by Bob Worthington who has extensive survival experience. He was involved in special combat operations in Southeast Asia and was a survival instructor for the CAP in Texas. Please join us for this interesting seminar.

Also on Saturday and Sunday, 12 and 13 January there will be a weekend Instrument ground school in Albuquerque for those pilots preparing to take the FAA Instrument written exam. Here are the details.

The course is being taught by Don Berman, owner of Aviation Ground Schools in Reno, NV. Don is an ATP, CFII, MEI, and Ground School Instructor, both Primary and Advanced. The regular cost of the course and all training materials is $445 but you can take it for $395. For more info go to www.aviationtestprep.com or call Don at 1 866 511 0056. Or go to the NMPA web site at www.nmpilots.org and get the info.

NMPA wishes all of you, Happy Holidays.
