  1. Transitioning to 21st Century Avionics Prof. H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D., CFII LSRM-A/GL/WSC/PPC, iRMT Heavy Chief Flight Instructor, Director of Maintenance AvSport of Lock Haven FAA Safety Team Lead Representative Piper Memorial Airport, Lock Haven PA

  2. A FAASTeam WINGS Award Safety Webinar

  3. Brought to you by: Experimental Aircraft Association Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Company AvSport of Lock Haven Your FAA Safety Team

  4. OVERVIEW: Any pilot who trained in a legacy aircraft has most likely mastered an efficient scan of the standard six-pack. Step into even the most basic modern experimental or Light Sport aircraft, however, and you’re immediately overwhelmed by an array of avionics that would put most airliners to shame. In this webinar, a longtime instrument flight instructor will guide you into the 21st Century, helping you avoid information overload.

  5. OBJECTIVES: • Upon successful completion of this Webinar, you will: • Distinguish between a PFD and an MFD • Learn to read tapes as easily as you do round gauges • Choose between an EFIS and a Six-Pack display • Visualize attitude and position using Synthetic Vision • Declutter the display to concentrate on what matters most • Customize your avionics to meet your mission
