A gathering of leaders in the STOL community and GA industry safety experts will convene Thursday, July 28 at EAA AirVenture to focus on safety—and the training required to maintain that safety.
The concept to promote “Safety and Training for All Things STOL” is not new within the community. STOL is a competition but also an acronym for the type of flying this cadre of pilots does—short takeoff and landing—whether it’s in the backcountry, on- or off-airport, on pavement, grass, gravel, or a sandbar. Because this type of flying demands precision and practiced technique, it requires initial training and regular proficiency practice.
