Coupling Crisis
|
|
Wednesday, July 1, 2026, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch
|
|
In 2023, the FAA issued an AD affecting 20 percent of the piston aircraft fleet. It required the replacement of spot-welded multi-segment V-band clamps and couplings that connect turbochargers to tailpipes. The supply of these clamps immediately dried up, leaving owners between a rock (the FAA) and a hard place (the supply chain). In this webinar, Mike Busch discusses how the AD process is supposed to work, why it sometimes doesn't, and what aircraft owners can do about it.

Flight Instructor Update: Recency of Experience Requirements Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
|
|
Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 7 p.m. CDT with Prof. H. Paul Shuch
|
|
Historically, flight instructor certificates were issued for a period of 24 calendar months, and specific training or activity levels were required for their renewal. Two years ago, a significant rule change occurred. Now, flight instructor certificates (like pilot certificates) never expire. However, to remain active, a CFI must now satisfy a recency of experience requirement. As the last of the two-year CFI certificates are just now expiring, it’s time to review this rule change. In this webinar Prof. H. Paul Shuch explores ways for CFIs to satisfy the current recency of experience requirements. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.

O-Rings
|
|
Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 7 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch
|
|
A series of recent accidents, some involving in-flight fires, has called attention to the fact that many of our vintage aircraft have O-rings and gaskets in their fuel systems that are 30 to 50 years old. Newer, more durable, and more reliable fluorosilicone materials have supplanted these old-fashioned nitrile rubber seals. In this webinar, Mike Busch offers a short history of the development of improved elastomeric seals, and discusses the importance of upgrading our O-rings and gaskets in the context of unleaded avgas.

Rotax maintenance manuals mandate complete replacement of all rubber engine components every five years. This requirement is costly, time consuming, and absolutely essential. In this WINGS and AMT award eligible webinar, an experienced Rotax mechanic will walk you through both the regulation and the process. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit.

Custom Checklist Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit
|
|
Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 7 p.m. CDT with Larry Bothe
|
|
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 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. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.
