I tell pilots they have two speeds to choose from: slow and methodical, or "Screw-up" speed, where rushing leads to mistakes. This month, licensed psychotherapist and instrument-rated commercial pilot Jolie Lucas joins me to explain why that idea holds up in clinical practice.

Jolie has practiced psychotherapy for more than 30 years and owns a Mooney (airplane and dog). She co-founded Right Seat Ready! and presents On Second Thought, a human factors safety series also sponsored by AVEMCO. She'll explain what happens in the brain when we feel time pressure, schedule pressure, get-there-itis, or social pressure. She'll also cover why hurrying reduces what we notice and how well we judge, and how choosing to slow down on purpose puts us back in control. -  You'll leave with practical ways to catch yourself speeding up, reset, and return to flying at the only speed that keeps you safe.  -  To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

Topic: Practical Emergency Procedures and Techniques Beyond the Pilot’s Operating Manual
On Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 10:00 Pacific Standard Time
Location:
William J Fox (KWJF) Airport
4725 W Ave G
Terminal Building
Lancaster, CA 93536

Have you ever had an emergency situation or multiple failures that were not adequately covered in your Pilot’s Operating Manual (POH)? This seminar by an experienced CFI, test pilot and system safety engineer will cover practical emergency procedures and techniques, with a focus on enhancing preparedness, decision-making, and effective response during unexpected situations. The POH emergency procedures do NOT always contain details/guidance for off-nominal conditions, such as alternator failure during IMC or at night, vibrations, fuel/oil in the cockpit, or limited/reduced control response.  In these situations, it is the pilot's responsibility to manage the emergency to a safe outcome. This presentation will review select emergency procedures under various conditions and provide insight on managing emergencies that we normally would not find in the POH. - To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.

14.  "Hangar Talk Saturdays (KVNY) - Hypoxia"
Topic: Recognizing Hypoxia, Understanding Its Effects, and Protecting Pilot Performance
On Saturday, November 14, 2026 at 09:00 Pacific Standard Time
Location:
LA Flight Academy
7900 Balboa Blvd
G6 Prop Park West
Van Nuys, CA 91406

How would you know you were becoming hypoxic if hypoxia itself was impairing your ability to recognize it? Hypoxia is one of aviation's most insidious hazards because its effects can develop gradually while degrading judgment, coordination, vision, and decision making. A pilot may not realize that performance is deteriorating until the ability to respond appropriately has already been compromised.

Join Jill Dressel for an engaging exploration of hypoxia and its impact on pilots and passengers. The presentation will examine the types and causes of hypoxia, altitude-related physiological effects, individual differences in susceptibility, warning signs and symptoms, time of useful consciousness, and practical strategies for recognizing and preventing hypoxia. Real-world aviation scenarios will illustrate why preparation, oxygen awareness, and timely action are essential to maintaining safe flight operations.  -  To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.

 

17.  "Safety Night (KWHP) - Fuel Management"
Topic: Fuel Planning, Fuel Management, and Avoiding Fuel-Related Emergencies
On Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 19:00 Pacific Standard Time
Location:
Civil Air Patrol Building
12653 Osborne Street
Pacoima, CA 91331

Do you really have enough fuel, or do you simply have enough fuel to reach your destination? Fuel exhaustion and fuel starvation remain preventable causes of general aviation accidents. Good fuel management requires more than checking the gauges before departure—it requires planning, monitoring, and making timely decisions as conditions change.

This seminar examines practical fuel management techniques from preflight planning through landing. Topics include fuel requirements and reserves, fuel burn calculations, weather and wind considerations, fuel monitoring in flight, fuel gauge limitations, diversion decisions, fuel starvation versus fuel exhaustion, and the effects of changing conditions on available fuel. Real-world scenarios will demonstrate how seemingly small planning errors can develop into serious emergencies and how disciplined fuel management can prevent them.

18.  "Cognitive Overload!"
Topic: Learn Strategies to Stay in Control of Your Aircraft When Task Saturation Increases.
On Wednesday, November 18, 2026 at 19:00 Central Standard Time (17:00 PST; 18:00 MST; 20:00 EST; 15:00 HST; 16:00 AKST; 18:00 Arizona; Thursday, November 19, 2026 01:00 GMT):

As pilots, we know that when we exceed a wing’s critical angle of attack, the wing will stall and lose lift. Likewise, a pilot’s mind has a cognitive load threshold which, once exceeded, will result in degradation of the pilot’s performance. In some cases, performance degradation caused by cognitive overload can be severe enough to result in a pilot’s loss of control of their aircraft. In this webinar, CFI Brian Sagi will explore cognitive overload in pilots, what causes it, and how to reduce our likelihood of encountering it. We will also learn how to recognize the onset of cognitive overload and discuss practical strategies for managing cognitive load while staying in command of our aircraft at all times.  -  To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

21.  "Hangar Talk Saturdays (KVNY) - Wake Turbulence"
Topic: Understanding Wake Turbulence, Avoidance Strategies, and Pilot Decision Making
On Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 09:00 Pacific Standard Time
Location:
LA Flight Academy
7900 Balboa Blvd
G6 Prop Park West
Van Nuys, CA 91406

You may never see wake turbulence, but you can certainly feel its effects. Wake turbulence can produce sudden and powerful changes in an aircraft's attitude, airspeed, and flight path. Although the greatest risks are often associated with operations behind larger aircraft, wake encounters can affect aircraft of many sizes and can occur well beyond the runway environment.

This seminar examines how wake turbulence is generated, how it behaves in different atmospheric and wind conditions, and why some encounters are more hazardous than others. The presentation will cover wake avoidance techniques, runway and traffic pattern considerations, ATC separation, aircraft weight and configuration, crosswind effects, helicopter-generated wake, and practical decision making when operating near larger aircraft. Real-world scenarios will help pilots recognize situations where accepting additional spacing, delaying a departure, changing a flight path, or going around may be the safest choice. - To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.
