✈️ Saturday Seminar: LOC-I Prevention & Aerobatic Fundamentals

Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) is the #1 cause of fatal GA accidents — and most pilots aren’t trained to handle it when it happens.

That’s exactly what this seminar is about.

Join aerobatic pilot & EMT instructor Dr. Wei-En Tan as she breaks down how to stay in control when it matters most — using real-world recovery techniques and aerobatic fundamentals.

What you’ll learn:
• How LOC-I happens (and how to catch it early)
• Upset recovery + EMT fundamentals
• Real recovery technique: Look. Unload. Roll. Recover.
• Aircraft limits, G-forces & real scenarios
• How aerobatics builds precision + confidence

🥧 Bonus: Pie & ice cream after — because we like to keep things fun, too
