There will be no general meeting this December.
Instead, we'll have a whole lot of fun at the
annual CHGA Christmas Party! This year's hostess
is Marney Bruce:

Wed, Jul 28 CHGA General Meeting and Seminar
|
The Gregor Seminar Blitz continues! Joe's topic this month is Traffic Avoidance. No, this isn't an intro to driving techniques for the Beltway, we're talking planes, cargo jets, and Warthogs. Powered air traffic is a concern at several of our sites, so come on out and hear what Joe's got to say! |

Wed, May 26 CHGA General Meeting and Seminar
|
For May Joe Gregor once again volunteers to give a seminar, this time on how your Vario (and perhaps GPS) works, with an eye to learning what to look for in a new instrument, and to make better use of the one you got to sky out, go places, and stay safe. A great topic for this time of year! |

Wed, Apr 28 CHGA General Meeting and Seminar
|
Does Joe secretly want to be a professor?
How else to explain his continual willingness to hold
these seminars? Maybe he likes calling on people
from the front of a room? In any case...
April's seminar will be on launch and landing principles. The discussion will cover the principles that make our gliders do what they do during launch, approach, and landing (or crashing), and what we can do with this knowledge to increase our safety margin during these critical phases of flight. |
