Auxiliary Aviation at AOPA Aviation Summit
 
For the first time, US Coast Guard Auxiliary Aviation will be at a national aviation event other than Oshkosh.  In our ongoing effort to expand our outreach, exposure, and recruiting, your national Division leadership, along with the District 7 Aviation leadership, will be at the AOPA Aviation Summit, to be held 5-7 November 2009 at Tampa, FL.  We will have a booth in the exhibition area and an airplane on display, as well.  We expect to be accompanied by several active duty pilots, hopefully with one of their helicopters on static display along with the Auxiliary aircraft.
 
As the time approaches, check here for more specific information on times, places, and personnel involved.  Anyone interested in supporting this effort, please contact Wilson Riggan, DVC-OA or Don Zinner, DSO-AV 7.

Incident Command System (ICS) 210 Requirement


The deadline for completion of ICS-210 has been extended to 31 March 2010.
Thus, although it is encouraged, new pilot certifications will not require
that course until that deadline.  Bear in mind, however, that on 01 April
2010 ALL existing pilots who have not completed the course will go REYR on
that date and will not be eligible to receive orders until that course is
completed and the results recorded.
