VERNON–More than 100 B.C. pilots were in Vernon Saturday, for a Rust Remover educational seminar.
The Vernon Flying Club hosts the seminar every year, for recreational pilots looking to learn something new or brush up on their skills.
“It just gets all of the pilots back into flying mode,” says Gerry Richard, a pilot with the Vernon Flying Club. “You know you get a little bit of cobwebs over winter, and you get the cob webs out.”
The Vernon Flying Club brings in flying experts for the seminar; flight instructors, air traffic controlers, and people from Nav Canada.
They go over a number of different topics to help pilots get up to speed on the latest safety measures and flying rules.
“We have 92 members,” says Bill More, President of the Vernon Flying Club, “and the main driving force behind holding it is to make sure our members are flying as safely as they can.”
The seminars are held at the Okanagan College Aircraft Maintenance Engineer space at the airport.
They are Transport Canada approved, and fulfill the requirements for recurrent training recreational pilots must adhere to.
