From its beautiful beaches to landmarks and large skyscrapers\, there is a lot for GA pilots to see and do. The surrounding area is home to an extensive and dense airspace system full of transition routes\, and airspace corridors which can be a challenge the first time they are encountered. As pilots we have the luxury of seeing sights from the air; but have you ever considered putting your SF Bay Tour mastery skills to the test with a sightseeing tour of Los Angeles? \nIn this seminar\, SCFC invites back Dave Kramer\, a commercial pilot and advanced ground instructor\, who has traveled extensively in the Los Angeles area\, to cover the safe and correct ways to transition the busy Los Angeles Class B airspace while on a sightseeing tour. He will discuss how to stay away from heavy LAX traffic\, special use airspace\, and stay situationally aware in the LA Basin. Dave will share his stories of transiting through Los Angeles airspace and how to see some amazing Los Angeles landmarks from the sky. \nIf you are planning to join the FlyOutGroup for their upcoming trip to Southern California\, we encourage you to begin your research into this complex airspace. You’ll be better informed and more confident flying over some of Los Angeles sights. Don’t miss out on this unique learning opportunity. \n \n\n\nDave Kramer MD\, is an instrument rated\, tailwheel\, complex and high performance endorsed commercial MEL pilot as well as a basic and instrument ground instructor with an interest in weather. He has been flying since 2012\, has over 2100 hours of which over 1500 have been in the IFR system. He also enjoys long cross country flying\, night flying and flying in the LA area. \n \n\n\nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation through safety\, community\, and adventure. AOPA has consistently recognized SCFC in their Best Flight School survey\, most recently in 2023 as a Distinguished Flight School for the third year in a row. \nSCFC is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our regular safety seminars and guest speaker programs. Our seminars are free to watch when attended in person at our facility in San Carlos but live streaming and viewing recorded seminars are exclusively available to members.

It can be a nerve-wracking experience decoding the ACS and sitting through the glare of the designated pilot examiner. Have you prepared\, studied\, and reviewed what’s required of you on checkride?

In this seminar they will each provide their own overview of their training experiences\, how they prepared\, some pitfalls to avoid\, and how they worked with their instructors to ensure they were ready for the practical test. This is a great opportunity to hear from multiple perspectives\, giving you the insight you need as you approach your big day. \nJoin us to hear more about the checkride experience\, how to prepare\, and have an insight into the first step of becoming a certificated pilot.\n\n\nImran Idzqandar (panelist) has 87 flight hours and passed his private pilot checkride in July of 2023.
