More IWM Duxford Bonus Days for 2011.
On 16th April, we have arranged a great Bonus Day to kick-off the flying season: an informal Safety Bonus Day Fly-in or Drive-in
Following the popular format of previous years, the Safety Day will be a mixture of informal presentations and opportunities to chat to the professionals and ask the questions that have been bothering you. The presentations will be repeated, so you can arrive and leave when it suits you best. The Safety Day will be held in the new AirSpace Hangar and is open from 10.30 until 16.30; the airfield is open from 10.00 until 18.00 (local time).
The program has something for every GA pilot:
There will be four presentations running from 11.30 in the morning and repeated at 14.00 in the afternoon:
Avoiding Controlled Airspace Infringements - Progress (Jonathan Smith, NATS) at 11.30 and 14.00
How D & D Can help you (Martin Smith, D&D) at 11.55 and 14.25
Stall-Spin Accidents - the biggest killers (Andy Sephton, GASCo) at 12.20 and 14.50
Weather: Five things to spoil your day Ian Simpson, Met Office) at 12.45 and 15.15

In recognition of the importance of the Safety theme, theres no charge for museum admission and the Safety Day programme, just a discounted £7 landing fee. Also, if the weather is poor on 16th April, or if you cant fly in, you can come in free by car but you must pre-book. Call 01223 833376 to arrange your PPR. To avoid congestion, we are operating a 'broad slot' system to spread landing times - so call soon!
It will be a great day out interesting and informative and at a fantastic fly-in venue.
