Summary

Island Airways planned a September 18, 2010 pilot safety seminar at Welke Airport, with MDOT and FAA participation and sessions on over-water, cold-weather, and short-field operations. The organizer later cancelled it because storms and reduced visibility prevented the planned speaker from reaching the island.

Evidence limits

The forum documents the planned program and cancellation. It does not show that a rescheduled seminar occurred.
