3. CANCELLED) Hangar Talk Saturdays (KVNY) Mid-Air Collisions
Most mid-air collisions occur in daylight, in good weather, and within just a few miles of an airport. Could the next one involve you? While pilots often think of mid-air collisions as rare events, the circumstances leading to them are surprisingly common. Understanding how these accidents develop is the first step toward preventing them.
This seminar examines the factors that contribute to mid-air collisions, including visual scanning techniques, traffic pattern operations, radio communications, ADS-B capabilities and limitations, right-of-way rules, human factors, and situational awareness. Through accident case studies and real-world scenarios, attendees will learn practical strategies for identifying developing conflicts, managing cockpit workload, and operating safely in both towered and non-towered environments.

Join us for a VIRTUAL cup of coffee, a donut, and a LIVE WEBINAR!
Pilots are trained to read an approach chart—but rarely get to see how that procedure was created.
In this interactive chart clinic, Chris Baur takes pilots behind the approach plate to examine the obstacle-clearance surfaces and procedure-design criteria that determine where an approach can go, how low a pilot can descend and what happens after the missed approach point.
Using real-world examples, participants will see how buildings, towers, cranes, terrain and other obstacles can affect approach minimums—or potentially make an existing procedure unusable. - You may not be a TERPS specialist, but you will become a better chart consumer! - 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

13. "Cockpit2Cowl Brian Schiff and Jeff Simon Night Moves"
Topic: Night Moves: Prepping Pilot and Plane for the Dark Side
On Tuesday, October 13, 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; Wednesday, October 14, 2026 00:00 GMT):
Flying at night rewards the prepared and punishes the casual. In this episode of Cockpit2Cowl, pilot Brian Schiff and mechanic Jeff Simon tackle what it really takes to launch after sunset — from the human side of the equation (dark adaptation, scanning off-center to beat your blind spot, cockpit lighting that preserves night vision, fatigue, and the illusions that make a black-hole approach so treacherous) to the mechanical side, where a single burned-out bulb, a marginal battery, or a tired alternator turns a routine flight into an emergency.
You'll hear how to operate at night from the perspective of both pilot and mechanic.
“Cockpit 2 Cowl,” with Brian Schiff and Jeff Simon, explores General Aviation safety topics from the combined perspectives of Flight Instructors, Pilots, and Mechanics, examining both man & machine to make aviation safer and more enjoyable. - To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.

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.
