Default SSA Webinar for 5-12-2020 Emergency Locator Devices

The SSA Webinar Series is resumed for 2020. Second Tuesdays of the month, and additional dates as announced.

May 12 at 7pm CDT (adjust for your local time zones) will be the live presentation titled:
Emergency Locator Devices & Other Safety Equipment, by presenter John DeRosa.

Glider pilots sometimes land away from their home airfields.
Sometimes this happens by choice, sometimes it is not planned.
Being able to communicate a landing position, and urgency or not of needed response assistance can be either normal, or very Not Normal.
There are a myriad of communications and tracking tools available, with variable costs and operating options.

This information is equally valuable to ASMEL airplane operations, and power pilots are heartily invited to login. There is plenty of territory in the US (and worldwide) where an aviation machine can meet the earth and be invisible, and out of communication range of cell phones. Cockpit crew may be incapacitated. What technology is right for you?


John DeRosa is a glider pilot and electronic engineer. John has assisted a flock of pilots in upgrading their electronics in gliders, while not flying his AS-W 27 from Sky Soaring near Chicago, IL. John has served as maintenance officer, club officer, webpage and IT technician for the ChicagoLand Glider Council. He has been a presenter at regional and national glider gatherings on all things electrical.

We look forward to his webinar on ELDs and emergency cockpit preparation for landouts and inflight egress.
