Crowded Sky Topic of Pilots’ Seminar
In a bid to cut the number of near-collisions, counselors from the Federal Aviation Administration will hold a Project START (Safe Terminal Area Route Training) seminar for area pilots Aug. 2 at the Los Alamitos Armed Forces Reserve Center.
Recent government reports have listed the Orange-Los Angeles counties’ skies as having the worst near-collision rate in the country.
The FAA’s accident prevention specialists from the Long Beach flight standards district office have teamed with accident prevention counselors from Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside counties to present the seminar, which begins at 7 p.m. in Building 6 at the base.
The seminars are held several times a year in Southern California, covering a wide range of aviation issues. No reservations are required.
Additional information is available from Kevin Clover of the FAA’s Long Beach office, (213) 426-7134.
