| Ever wondered what it’s like to fly over the most congested, compact, and most important city in America? Flying in the stressful Washington DC SFRA is one of the most challenging airspaces in America, and makes flying in any other airspace seem easy.
San Carlos Flight Center invites CFI Mari May Baratto to share the “tricks and tips” to demystify the SFRA, and break down the standard procedures. You will learn how to get in and out of the SFRA using local unpublished procedures, so when you hear ATC say “Special awareness training is required for VFR flying within 60 NM of the DCA VOR/DME” you will be prepared. Mari will also review these special procedures and requirements so that any pilot will know what to expect while flying in this demanding area. If you are ever planning on flying in Washington DC, or just want to delve into what a pilot might need to recognize to fly in a SFRA, don’t miss this seminar. |
