Collision Avoidance Workshop - Jason Groh, CFII - August Safety Meeting
2025-08-27 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago) | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
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.
Speaker bio:
Jason Groh is a CFI/CFII with a passion for helping pilots train with confidence and safety in mind. He brings years of experience in guiding students from their first flights through complex instrument procedures.
In addition to instructing, Jason is the founder of The Pilot’s Discord, an online training and networking community that connects pilots nationwide for checkride preparation, career development, and mentorship. He also produces educational aviation content on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, and Discord, sharing tips, techniques, and industry insights with thousands of pilots and students.
Whether he’s flying in the pattern with a new student, coaching an instrument candidate through an approach, or hosting a safety workshop, Jason’s goal is always the same—build skilled, confident aviators who fly smart, stay safe, and enjoy the journey.

2025-06-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
Two of the most hazardous threats to aircraft are thunderstorms and icing. Dr. Seckler discussed the risk and management of icing last January. Now, he will take on the beast of unfathomable energy, thunderstorms. One thunderstorm was measured at about 1.3 billion volts with a charging time of only 6 minutes. Jerry will explain how they form, forecasting where they’ll be, and how to avoid them in flight.

May Safety Meeting - Collisions and Near-Misses are Happening, What's Your Plan?
2025-05-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
Collisions and near misses are the talk everywhere. While a disproportionate number of aviation mishaps are done but us – light GA aircraft – this problem crosses the whole of aviation. Even the record holder for safest of virtually anything measured, U.S. carriers are now showing up with way too many near-misses, and for the first time in decades, some actual mid-air collisions, as well as many too many on the ground near misses.
This can be managed. It starts with you. Let’s talk about how we become the subject of the safety story and not the NTSB report.
Speaker Bio:

Michael Baraz holds ATP, CFI, CFII, AGI, and IGI certificates. He is an active flight instructor and FAA Safety Lead Team Representative.

Where Did Those Pesky Electrons Go? - CEPA Safety Seminar at PWK
2025-01-22 19:00 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
It was supposed to be a challenging but fun training flight… until it wasn’t!
That first approach worked out pretty well. Then you see your Aspen PFD tells you that you’re running on backup battery power! The nearest VFR is over an hour and a half away.
How well do you know (and trust) your equipment? What do you do and when?

If you’re thinking, “I got new gloves, I’m ready for winter,” there might be a just a few considerations that you might want to think through. No doubt, the cold air gives us better performance; however the visibility and icing potential are often a concern, maybe VFR into IMC? We will explore these and a whole lot more winter flying topics together.

Juliet, Juliet, Where Art Thou ATC? Michael Baraz Squawks 7600 - CEPA Safety Seminar at PWK
2024-05-22 19:00 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
It was supposed to be an easy training flight… until it wasn’t!
Most of our training treats emergencies as an all-or-nothing event. That isn’t how they typically unfold. It is usually something small you notice. Then something else happens… and there may not be any obvious reason to connect the two. Then a third… now things are getting “interesting.”
Trying to check in with Chicago Approach, we had Juliet but got nothing back :O
As things start to fall apart, what do you do and when?

Caution Wake Turbulence - Monthly Safety Meeting at PWK by CEPA
2024-02-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
Wake turbulence in Small Aircraft Operating at Chicago Executive Airport and Other Airports with Mixed Traffic

Speaker: Arthur Gunn

We hear the controller advise, “Caution Wake Turbulence” and often give it cursory thought. Sometimes they add, “Boeing heavy” or “Airbus heavy” 5 miles final.
ATC is required to Issue wake turbulence cautionary advisories including the position, altitude if known, and direction of flight to aircraft operating behind an aircraft that requires wake turbulence separation when 1) VFR aircraft not being radar vectored are behind the larger aircraft, 2) IFR aircraft accept a visual approach or visual separation or 3) VFR arriving aircraft that have previously been radar vectored and the vectoring has been discontinued.
We will discuss a fatal crash at Knoxville, TN, in December 2021 involving one of “My Go Flight’s” founders, Charlie Schneider. NTSB issued its final report on the matter this month.
At this meeting, we will discuss this report and the seriousness of wake turbulence.
Speaker bio:
Arthur Gunn, past president of CEPA, is a commercially certificated pilot, and an avid learner of all things aviation.

CEPA Annual Meeting, Chicago Executive Airport update, and Pilot Safety Meeting
2023-11-29 19:00 - 21:00 | Harper College, 1375 S Wolf Road, Prospect Heights, IL, 60070, United States
Please join us for a full evening of events.
1. We start off with elections for the Chicago Executive Pilots Association Board of Director at-large seats.

2. Jeff Miller, Executive Director of Chicago Executive Airport, will give us an update of happenings at the airport (hint: there is some very good news coming for IFR pilots!) and answer your questions.

3. Monthly Safety Program: Loss of Airspeed Indicator and Loss of Control – Continue the Approach, Go Missed, or Divert?
Loss of control on an approach is a terrifying thought—and you just recovered in a valley with limited visibility and no airport in sight. Is it better to climb to safety with a known issue or scud run a few hundred feet above the ground to find an airport and some terra firma? How is your partial panel proficiency?
What would you do?
