SAFE is enjoying an amazing show in Florida and the weather has been spectacular. Please log in to SAFE Instagram to see recent reels and recorded broadcasts (please like and follow this channel). Our guests at the SAFE Booth include the Foreflight team who generously provide 1/3 off all subscriptions for SAFE members, and Lightspeed Aviation, who provided *TWO* Delta Zulu Headsets for this show. Gleim Aviation also visited the SAFE Booth. Garret Gleim and Ryan Jeff highlighted their new “Virtual DPE” program which allows a pilot at any level to practice their oral test. “Otto” the AI DPE asks relevant questions and replies with increasingly complex questions. Gleim generously provides a “Fundamentals of Instruction Handbook” to every new SAFE member (this is a great read for seasoned CFIs too)
Every member can participate in the spring sweepstakes (even at home) by just donating $15 to http://safepilots.org/give2safe! This drawing will occur at the end of May. In addition to the headsets, Scott Ashton from Aerox donated a personal oxygen system as a prize. Sporty’s Pilot Shop is providing a PJ2 handheld transceiver as a prize.
The second Lightspeed Delta Zulu headset will be raffled at our “CFI Roundtable” in the Prop 75 Building on Saturday. This event starts at 4PM and features FREE ice cream for all participants. All CFIs and SAFE members at every level are invited to attend the show but everyone must register on Ticket Stripe for entry. If you want an entry to the raffle, please donate $15 (per chance) to win.
CFI Roundtable Resources
Mike Shiflet from CFI Bootcamp is broadcasting his “Power Hour” show from the SAFE Booth at Sun ‘N Fun Saturday at noon. He will also be speaking and answering questions at the CFI Roundtable. Jay Flowers from the FAA will clarify the new non-expiring CFI certificate and the need for recurrent training to maintain CFI privileges. Ryan Jeff will talk about the new Gleim AI training program for oral preparation. This tool, called “Otto,” listens and interacts verbally with an applicant just like a DPE, providing increasingly complicated questions relevant to the practical test selected. Jamie Beckett from AOPA will be available to answer questions about flying clubs and AOPA initiatives. Bret Kobe from Sporty’s will talk about AI tools from Sporty’s for the flight instructor. All these experts will be available to answer questions and discuss industry problems. Fly safely out there (and often)!
