PILOT PALS Workshop at KSTE

Join Certified Flight Instructor Gary Olsen at the Stevens Point Municipal Airport on Saturday, April 5, 2025 for a partial day PILOT PALS Workshop.  

This program is perfect for co-pilots who want to learn more about managing an aircraft should it become necessary to assist the pilot, or even perhaps take over the flight during an emergency scenario.

For anyone who flys along on a regular basis, this will cover the basics of flight, the flight instruments, radio operations, and the steps on how a flight is operated from take-off to landing.

Anyone interested in attending the classes should contact Mr. Olsen directly for details and to get registered (see poster for email and phone number).

These courses typically sell-out, so reserve your spot today.
