Ready, Fire, Aim | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
| Wednesday, September 3th, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch | |||
| In aircraft maintenance, the order in which you do things is critical. When troubleshooting a problem, it's essential to gather as much information about the problem before doing repairs or replacing parts. When an aircraft is undergoing its "annual ordeal," it's essential to complete the inspection checklist before starting to fix anything. But, according to Mike Busch, it's amazing how often these simple rules aren't obeyed and maintenance activities are done in the wrong sequence, resulting in a poor outcome. In this webinar, Mike explores the importance of doing first things first and other things afterwards. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit. | |||

| When the Korean War broke out, the straight-wing F-84 Thunderjet was deployed to be a fighter-bomber in the same family as the P-47 Thunderbolt. We will discuss this important aircraft which doesn’t always get enough attention.6 | |||

| General aviation airports are most definitely an endangered species. Their numbers are diminishing in the wild, and they seldom reproduce in captivity. This is the story of a unique, privately owned, public use central California airport, and how more than four decades ago it rose from the ashes of a previous airport’s untimely demise. | |||

Understanding Ice Contaminated Tailplane Stalls | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
| Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Dr. Scott Dennstaedt | |||
| While many aircraft are not conducive to an ice contaminated tailplane stall (ICTS), knowing the difference from an aerodynamic wing stall can be lifesaving. In this webinar, meteorological expert Dr. Scott Dennstaedt will discuss the characteristics of an ICTS, and we'll also examine the weather conditions that contributed to a fatal King Air E90 accident that the NTSB determined the probable cause to be icing on the tailplane that resulted in a tailplane stall and subsequent loss of control.

Borescope Meets AI | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
| Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Mike Busch | |||
| In this webinar, Mike Busch offers a status report of one of his company's newest artificial intelligence projects: an AI model designed to analyze borescope images of exhaust valves and determine if the valve exhibits abnormal heat distress ("burning"). This is a work in process; it is a machine-learning model that is not quite ready for prime time but is getting more accurate and sensitive as it continues to be trained. This sort of application of AI to data-driven predictive analytics promises to revolutionize GA maintenance by detecting problems at early stages, so they can be addressed using minimally invasive methods.

| Wednesday, October 8, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Mark Schaible | |||
| The Sonex Highwing has earned considerable interest in the marketplace as a fast, aerobatic, high-wing aircraft built in the Sonex tradition. In this webinar, Mark Schaible will brief you on all the latest developments with the Sonex Highwing including flight test data to date, kit production progress, and features and pricing. | |||
| Tuesday, October 14, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Chris Henry | |||
| Few aircraft names get more attention as an adversary than the MiG. We will discuss the MiG-15 and MiG-21, which the EAA Aviation Museum is fortunate to have examples of. | |||
| Wednesday, October 15, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Ryan Koch | |||
| Home sims are more capable than ever and can boost pilot proficiency in ways that go well beyond what you might expect. But that value comes only when you know how to use them effectively. Join Ryan Koch from Pilot Workshops and explore how to get meaningful practice from your sim, without getting lost in the maze of options, hardware tweaks, or unrealistic expectations. | |||
| Tuesday, October 21, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT with Tom Charpentier | |||
| Tom Charpentier from the EAA Government Advocacy staff reviews the requirements for existing pilots to operate under the Sport Pilot 2.0 rules that go into effect on October 22, 2025. Additionally, Tom will answer many questions that EAA has received since the final rule was published during EAA AirVenture 2025. | |||

On Centerline: Avoiding Loss of Directional Control During Takeoff and Landing | Qualifies for FAA WING credit |
|||
| Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT | |||
| Loss of Directional Control on the Runway (LODC-R) is one of the most common lightplane accident scenarios. Although LODC-R rarely causes serious injury or death, it frequently results in significant damage that is expensive to fix or “totals” the aircraft. History shows most LODC-R events happen when the crosswind component is less than 10 knots, telling us it’s the pilot, not the wind, that is the root cause. The good news is that means there are things pilots can do to recognize situations where we are at risk of losing control and techniques we can adopt to avoid the hazards. In this program we’ll explore those scenarios and highlight those techniques so you can confidently keep it on the centerline. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit.

ATC Communications: Back to Basics | Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit |
|||
| Wednesday, October 29th, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CDT | |||
| Communication procedures between pilots and air traffic controllers don't have to be intimidating. During this webinar FAA air traffic controller Karoline Gorman will emphasize proper radio phraseology, clearances, readbacks, and the use of standard ICAO and FAA terminology. By attending you will learn to interpret and deliver instructions with precision, maintain situational awareness through exchanges, and respond effectively to routine and emergency scenarios. Whether a seasoned pilot or just starting out, all pilot levels are welcome to attend. Qualifies for FAA WINGS credit. | |||

Changing the Oil | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
| Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CST with Mike Busch | |||
| In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA discusses our most frequent maintenance task: changing the oil. Mike explains why we need to do it so often and how to determine the appropriate oil-change interval for your particular engine. He also discusses the various brands and types of piston aircraft engine oils and oil additives, and he offers recommendations as to which he prefers. Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit. | |||

Quantifying Maintenance Risk | Qualifies for FAA WINGS and AMT credit |
|||
| Wednesday, December 3, 2025, 7:00 p.m. CST with Mike Busch | |||
| How much more dangerous are GA airplanes to fly during the first hours after maintenance? In this webinar, Mike Busch A&P/IA discusses a fascinating study based on 17 years of NTSB accident and incident data that attempts to quantify the risk of maintenance-induced failures. Mike presents the conclusions of this study and discusses why current maintenance regulations and practices are actually making our aircraft measurably less safe than they could be.
