February Meeting
FAA Sport Pilot Report
Wednesday February 9th
7pm-9pm
North Bailey Fire Hall, Amherst
966 Sweet Home Road
(Just South of Maple Road)
We have another special event for our February meeting. Guido Hassig from the FAA FSDO office in Rochester will present a talk on the new Sport Pilot rules. While we have heard and read a great deal about Sport Pilot from EAA, Guido will bring the perspective of the FAA. He will help to clarify many of the questions pilots and future pilots have about the new rules covering this broad classification of pilots, aircraft, maintenance and medical issues.
Guido Hassig is the Safety Program Manager at the Rochester FSDO office. He has played an active role in bringing many new safety programs and seminars to the region over the last few years. He was also instrumental in setting up the electronic communications network for pilots to receive updated safety information, NOTAMS and other general information via e-mail. The system he established is now the model the FAA is using across the country. On top of that Guido owns and flys a beautiful J-3 Cub. He understands aviation from the Sport Pilot’s perspective.
As always, there is no charge for the meeting. Coffee, soft drinks and doughnuts will be available. Please make sure to bring along an aviation friend to this special event to introduce them to our chapter.
