Collision Avoidance Workshop – Jason Groh, CFII – August Safety Meeting

The Collision Avoidance workshop is a fast-paced, one-hour safety session designed to help pilots navigate Chicago Executive’s busy Class D environment with confidence. It covers local collision risk areas—including jet and GA traffic mixing, and nearby airport conflicts—along with proven visual scanning techniques, smart use of ADS-B, and effective communication with Tower, Approach, and CTAF. Using local maps, real ATC audio, and an actual near-miss case study, pilots will learn practical strategies to see and avoid traffic, manage high-density operations, and prevent midair conflicts.
