In the first half of the seminar, Brian Douglas and John Porter will focus on key aspects to cover in a seasonal flight review including pilot and aircraft preparation, and considerations in float flying procedures after a long winter.

Following this presentation, Bryan Webster will then speak on water egress, stressing the importance of preparing for a water egress, and providing an update on the state of water egress training especially given the restrictions associated with the pandemic.

The seminar will be about 1-1.5 hours in duration and include time for questions.
