12.  Hangar Talk Saturdays (KVNY) Medical Emergencies in Flight - Topic: Human Factors, Medical Emergencies, and Emergency Response in Aviation - Date and Time: - Saturday, September 12, 2026, starting at 09:00 Pacific Daylight Time - Speaker(s): Jill Dressel - CASE Training Academy Owner and FAASTeam Training Provider, Richard Mend - ATP SEL/MEL CFI-AI FAASTeam Representative - Brief Description:

What would you do if a passenger—or another pilot—suddenly experienced a life-threatening medical emergency in flight? While pilots spend countless hours preparing for mechanical failures and adverse weather, medical emergencies often receive far less attention. Yet a medical event involving a pilot, passenger, or crewmember can rapidly become a critical safety issue requiring immediate action.

This seminar examines the human factors, aeromedical considerations, and emergency response principles that every pilot should understand. Attendees will discuss pilot incapacitation, passenger medical events, decision making under stress, communication, resource management, emergency equipment, and the role of CPR and other life-saving measures when professional medical assistance may be minutes or even hours away.

The FAA funds the program and provides incentives to report. NASA operates the system as an independent third–party, separate from enforcement or investigative bodies. ASRS fosters a culture of transparency, where learning from mistakes is routine. - Aviation safety is central here!

Many of our sessions are recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube channel, Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS.  Credit is not available if viewing the recording.  Here is a link:  Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS YouTube channel  -  To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

Location: Hangar 21 - 3815 W Commonwealth Ave - Fullerton, CA 92833

Knowing what to say, communicating what you know, and understanding what you hear, is critical to being a pilot. Many pilots use archaic or local terminology for communicating, which can fail when flying at other destinations. The FAA has evolved a language glossary to add safety and comprehension to our radio calls. Material is presented as scenarios to inspire discussion. Remember, terminology is key to unlock all your resources! -  Our speaker is Gary Palmer, a Torrance based CFI, FAASTeam Representative, and member of the Torrance FAA Runway Safety Team. - To view further details and registration information for this seminar, click here.

This month on Cockpit2Cowl, Brian Schiff and Jeff Simon will share the flying gear, avionics, tools, and practical supplies that can make operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting general aviation aircraft safer, simpler, and less stressful.

Drawing on the combined perspectives of a flight instructor/pilot and an aircraft mechanic, Brian and Jeff examine the critical link between the cockpit and the cowl. You’ll gain practical insights into the equipment worth carrying, the technology that can improve situational awareness, and the maintenance habits that help prevent small issues from becoming expensive—or dangerous—problems.  -  Whether you own, rent, fly, or maintain airplanes, you’ll come away with practical ideas for managing maintenance, handling in-flight and ground emergencies, communicating effectively with your mechanic, and becoming a more informed, confident aviation decision-maker.  -  To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

16.  "Custom Checklist"
Topic: Learn How To Create a Unique Checklist for Your Aircraft
On Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Thursday, September 17, 2026 00:00 GMT)

Almost every aircraft owner, and every CFI, should have a customized checklist for the airplane they usually fly or use for instruction. Airplanes change, but the checklist never does. The checklist needs to reflect what is in the airplane today; not when it left the factory. Factory checklists assume the pilot already knows how to fly. Students are lost. Master CFI and long-time airplane owner Larry Bothe will tell you how to create a custom checklist that will make your job as a CFI a whole lot easier, make your students feel good about themselves, and owners of older airplanes will stop missing little details about their expensive new-fangled avionics. - To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

Speaker(s): Chris Ghazarian - CFI CFII MEI, Richard Mend - ATP SEL/MEL CFI-AI FAASTeam Representative
Brief Description:

Why does Van Nuys have multiple ILS approaches, and why are some used more frequently than others? Instrument approaches are much more than lines drawn on a chart. They are carefully designed procedures intended to provide safe, efficient access to an airport while accounting for terrain, obstacles, airspace, traffic flow, and weather conditions. This seminar explores the unique instrument procedures serving Van Nuys Airport and explains why understanding them can make every pilot safer and more proficient.

Attendees will examine the ILS Y Runway 16R, ILS Z Runway 16R, ILS Runway 16L, localizer approaches, missed approach procedures, equipment requirements, and the factors that determine when a particular approach is selected. Discussion will also include terrain and obstacle considerations, weather, communications, emergencies, common pilot errors, and practical techniques for operating safely within the complex Southern California airspace system. - Location of Seminar:   SAVE A SEAT HERE

The owner of a General Aviation aircraft received all or most of their information about piloting a plane from their CFI but have received very little information about owning or maintaining an aircraft.  If the owner hasn’t spent much time with their local A&P or repair facility, there is usually a lack of knowledge.

This presentation is a starting point to help owners/operators/pilots understand their aircraft’s maintenance needs and understand their relationship and maintenance facility. -  Aviation safety will be discussed, and is central to the content of this presentation. - Many of our sessions are recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube channel Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS.  Credit is not available if viewing the recording. - Here is a link:  Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS YouTube channel   -   To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

5. "Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS - Cognitive Overload!"
Topic: What's Your Threshold?
On Saturday, December 5, 2026 at 09:00 Central Standard Time (07:00 PST; 08:00 MST; 10:00 EST; 05:00 HST; 06:00 AKST; 08:00 Arizona; 15:00 GMT)  -  Join us for a VIRTUAL cup of coffee, a donut, and a LIVE WEBINAR as Brian talks with us about cognitive overload.  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.

We will explore cognitive overload, it's causes and how to reduce our likelihood of encountering it.  Learn how to manage cognitive load while staying in control of your aircraft at all times!  - Aviation safety will be discussed, and is central to the content of this presentation. - Many of our sessions are recorded and can be viewed on our YouTube channel Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS.  Credit is not available if viewing the recording. -  Here is a link:  Saturday Morning Coffee and WINGS YouTube channelT   -  To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.
