This is a unique session with 3 current Smokehouse Pilots who have volunteered to share their advice on 3 topics. Each presenter will spend approx. 25 minutes discussing each topic followed by a Q&A session. 1) Error management as a means of risk management w/ Mike Schwartz 2) Personal Minimums w/ Tim Fisher 3) ADM & Flight Standards w/ Tracy Hewitt It's great to have current members share their thoughts and expertise with us to help all of us become a better pilot and improve our knowledge around safety! Thank you all for joining us!

Kerry McCauley, an international ferry pilot, now with over 30 years of experience, was flying over the North Atlantic to Paris in a new F33 Bonanza when he discovered an issue with his auxiliary fuel tank. The problem? No ram air—the fuel wasn't moving. The solution? Pressurize the tank via lung power. For eight straight hours McCauley was alone, over the ocean, in a single engine airplane, with only his will keeping him aloft and alive.
