SUMMARY:MentorLIVE: Non-Pilot Companions
DESCRIPTION:Right Seat Ready: Next-Level Safety & Enjoyment through Non-Pilot Companion Education\n\nPresenters: Jolie Lucas & Harvey Madison\nHost: Aaron Dabney\n\n \nDescription\nPilots and instructors can increase flight safety\, the happiness of their passengers\, and act as ambassadors for GA in an easy but unexpected way. This presentation details both how and why non-pilot companions can become engaged and knowledgeable participants in GA flights. Importantly\, we’ll address essential learning topics found in no other pinch-hitter resources. \nThis presentation’s content includes a high level look at elements of Right Seat Ready!\, a 2-day seminar created by Jolie Lucas and Jan Maxwell. As a commercial-rated pilot\, airplane owner\, and licensed psychotherapist\, Jolie created Right Seat Ready! for non-pilot companions to transform them from disengaged\, or even quietly nervous passengers\, into knowledgeable & interested participants in each flight. \n\n   \nPresenter Bios\nJolie Lucas makes her home on the Central Coast of California with her mini-Golden\, Mooney. Jolie is a Mooney owner\, licensed psychotherapist\, and instrument-rated commercial pilot. Jolie is a nationally-known aviation presenter\, educator\, and aviation writer. Jolie has been a practicing psychotherapist for 32 years. She is the Region 4 Vice President of the California Pilots Association. She is the 2010 AOPA Joseph Crotti Award recipient for GA Advocacy. \n\n\n\n   \nAs the Director of Instructional Design and Content at Redbird Flight\, Harvey Madison conceives and creates instructional multimedia content and in-simulator training scenarios for the pilot community\, especially in General Aviation. He often partners with public and private organizations to create instructional content\, tools\, and learning opportunities for students and pilots that help them gain their certificates\, and achieve and maintain proficiency. \nSome of his products include GIFT-PPL (Guided Independent Flight Training-Private Pilot)\, GIFT-Instrument\, STEM/CTE curricula for K12\, Redbird Pro(ficiency) app\, safety video series “Dear Captain Harv\,” and numerous other projects. \nHarvey is currently focused on developing a new product in collaboration with Jolie Lucas based on her seminar\, Right Seat Ready!  He lives in Austin\, TX and calls KAUS his home airport. \n\n\n\nHost Bio\nAaron Dabney earned his Flight Instructor certificate in 2009\, and has been an active instructor ever since. He has provided more than 5\,000 hours of instruction in more than 30 models of aircraft\, mentoring pilots from their first hour through becoming accomplished instructors themselves\, and all points in between. \nDabney grew up in an aviation family. His maternal grandfather Joe was a World War II fighter pilot\, and much of his childhood was spent in the family J-3 Cub with his grandfather or his uncle Mark. Aaron completed his first solo in that Cub in 1999 and is now its caretaker. \nAaron is a 6-time NAFI Master Flight Instructor\, owns a small flight school\, and has served as an adjunct lecturer for Baylor University’s Aviation Sciences program since 2010. He serves on NAFI’s Board of Directors and serves in several volunteer roles including coordinating MentorLIVE. \nAaron lives in Waco\, Texas with his wife of 20 years Alisa. \n\n \nRegister For Event
