What you need to know about PLBs & other survival equipment

Thursday, May 31

8:00pm ET

John Zimmerman

My aircraft has always been reliable. I’m in perfect health. I only fly in good weather. I never fly more than 50 miles from home. Sound familiar? Are you guilty of these assumptions?

The fact is that there is no amount of money or experience that will prevent malfunctions and there’s never a perfect plan regardless of the flying you do. So if something goes wrong, will you be prepared?

Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), life rafts, first aid kits and other survival aids have created vital new options for mitigating the unthinkable. Join Sporty’s for this powerful webinar on PLBs and other survival equipment.
