September 29-30, 2017 – Dayton, Ohio
As of press time, there were still a few openings for the second King Air Gathering being held September 29-30, 2017, at Stevens Aviation in Dayton, Ohio (KDAY). The event will consist of two days of information-packed seminars presented by King Air experts in various areas and will include breakout sessions specializing in piloting and maintenance. Besides all the knowledge you will acquire from the seminars, you will also be among other King Air pilots and owners in which you can gain information through personal experiences.
Some of the topics covered in the seminars are how to approach and perform a post-maintenance flight, ADS-B options for King Airs, service issues Beechcraft is seeing in the field, ForeFlight Performance Plus for turboprops, the efficient PT6 engine and how to run yours, flight control rigging and knowing it it’s correct, maintenance tracking versus record keeping and more.
Two keynote speakers will also be featured at this gathering: On Friday, Dr. David Strahle, Father of Datalink and fellow King Air 200 owner/pilot, will discuss “Thunderstorm Avoidance using NEXRAD Radar and Advanced Weather Planning.” On Saturday, Robert “Hoot” Gibson, USN Retired, former fighter pilot, test pilot, and Navy Astronaut will present “Beechcraft Bonanzas to the Space Shuttle.”
The location of this Gathering offers an added bonus for attendees. There is the option of taking a tour of Hartzell Propeller Inc., which is currently celebrating a century in the business of making propellers, and free admission to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force located at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton.
