SUMMARY:Ferry Flight: Australia to USA in a Cirrus SR22 — Lessons in Risk Management and Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Roman Lewicki & Piotr Dlugiewicz \nRoman (CFI SBA) and Piotr (Imagine Flying) will share their experience ferrying a Cirrus SR22 from Gold Coast\, Australia to Jacksonville\, Florida — 108 flight hours\, 14 legs\, 4 continents\, and approximately 15 countries in 18 days. \nThis isn’t just an adventure story. Roman and Piotr will present the trip through the lens of risk management and aeronautical decision making: What does CAPS planning look like over the open ocean? How do you manage fuel when avgas is sold from roadside petrol stations and 55-gallon drums? What happens when a weather diversion means getting stuck for weeks at an airport with no Customs? \nFrom the Bay of Bengal (10.4 hours overwater) to the North Atlantic crossing in immersion suits\, from navigating bureaucracy across three continents to the moment Starlink goes dark at a foreign border — this presentation covers everything a GA pilot wouldn’t expect about flying a stock Cirrus halfway around the world. \nSCHEDULE\n5:00 PM: Doors Open5:30 PM: Tips & Tricks5:40 PM: Main Program Starts6:30 PM: Food and Social Begins \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					 \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				FAAST WINGS Credit\n1 Credit for Basic Knowledge Topic 3
