In addition to the daily air show and many displays by vendors and participants, there will be active participation by the Arizona FSDO. Inspectors from the FSDO will be located in the FAA tent to answer questions, help with problems, or just visit with people. In addition, there will be hourly presentations of interest to the amateur-built community. These will be accomplished during the hours in which the air show is not going on. The schedule of topics and speakers is not complete at this time, but we do have the following people lined up:

Jim Woods - Airworthiness Safety Program Manager will be there to discuss airworthiness issues from certification to record keeping.

Bruce Bessette - All you ever needed to know about GPS installations and how to use it once it’s installed and functioning.

Mike Halloran - Maintenance record keeping requirements for the Owner/Operator.

Other inspectors who have indicated a desire to speak, but as yet haven’t chosen a subject, are:

Crissy Clark - An experienced and knowledgeable Aviation Safety Technician. She will talk about airman certification issues.

Janice Behers - An Aviation Safety Technician who can help you figure out how to deal with the administrative aspect of the FAA.

Randy Prine - Airworthiness Inspector.

And, of course, Jack Christopherson, our Operations Safety Program Manager, will be there with his war chest full of stories that he is always willing to relate to anyone who wants to listen.
