The Civil Aviation Safety Authority is holding the seminar as part of a campaign to reduce weather related accidents.

Local pilots will learn how to make the right decisions when the weather turns against them.

CASA spokesperson Peter Gibson said correct decision-making by pilots was crucial.

“Accidents continue to happen when pilots flying visually get into deteriorating weather,” Mr Gibson said.

“Local pilots will learn more about how to assess weather before and during flight, how to plan for weather and how to make good decisions.

“All pilots receive training on weather related safety but ongoing education in this vital area is essential.”

The Shepparton Aviation Safety Seminar will be held at 7 pm on Wednesday, February 3, at the Goulburn Valley Aero Club.

Bookings are essential to allow COVID-19 requirements to be met and can be made at www.casa.gov.au/education/seminars-and-workshops/avsafety-seminars
