ACKNOWLEDGE AVIaTION.
For over three decades
groups, businesses and
volunteers have come
together with pilots
and aircraft owners to
acknowledge aviation.
What a spectacular
accomplishment and
amazing opportunity.
These days we hear a lot about how
GA is suffering and how the economy
and current restrictions are making it
difficult to enjoy flying. Come to this
event. Celebrate the champions of GA
at the Spirit of Aviation Awards Banquet.
Observe the passion in each exhibitor,
sponsor and attendee. Share your stories.
Aviation and the people who love it have
an enduring strength. Together let’s
acknowledge aviation.

Welcome.
Welcome to the 31st Annual Northwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show. This event is proudly presented by
the Washington Aviation Association.
Jamelle R. Garcia
Many times I am asked, “What is the
Washington Aviation Association?”
The Washington Aviation Association is a group of businesses that have an
interest in aviation and enjoy flying. WAA Objectives:
WAA can trace its origin back to 1938
as an informal coalition of aviation
businesses. In 1948 was formalized into
a non-profit corporation to tackle problems of the industry and build a stable
and prosperous future.
Executive Director
Washington Aviation
Association, (WAA)
Encourage a united industry
Strengthen legislative representation
Nurture future needs of the industry
Promote cooperation
between the aviation industry
and related industries
Establish programs to improve
our public image & reduce
regulatory impact
Promote and sponsor
educational projects
Encourage respect for all
segments of our industry
Provide professional council
6
Through this Conference, Northwest
Aviation Business & Career Forum,,
Anti-drug & Alcohol Consortium
and the Spirit of Northwest Aviation
Awards, the WAA is dedicated to being
a leader in aviation business support
and services with the objective to deliver
exceptional, long-term value for all our
stakeholders; encouraging innovation,
working together for greater gain, always
with integrity and respect.
The 2014 Conference, including the
Aviation Business & Career Forum
and the Spirit of Aviation Awards

Emily Spates
Emily is a 9 year Navy veteran who
began flying in 2006. She moved to
Hillsboro, OR in 2011 to finish her
commercial and CFI rating and began

Mark Baker
President, Aircraft Owners & Pilots
Association (AOPA)
1:00 pm | SAT, FEB 22
Keynote Area
In 2014 we are pleased to welcome
new president of AOPA, Mark
Baker, for a discussion on the
issues that affect your freedom to
fly. He will talk about how AOPA
is working to reduce the cost and
complexity of flying and he’ll share
his thoughts on the importance
of AOPA having a strong voice
in Washington, DC and in all 50
state capitals around the country.
Baker is a commercial pilot with
single- and multiengine land and
seaplane ratings, rotorcraft rating,
and type certificates in the Cessna
Citation 500 and 525s. Baker
worked his way through numerous
airplanes, including a Cessna 177
Cardinal, various V-tail Bonanzas
and Barons, and a 36 Model
Bonanza.
With so many hours in everything
from business jets to helicopters
and even historic aircraft, Baker
does not hesitate to name his
favorite, a Piper Super Cub that he
has owned for more than 25 years
and equips with floats or skis as the
weather demands.

The Engine Failure:
Think about it before the
engine quits
But flying isn’t like driving, and
accidents deserve attention: They let
us learn from others’ mistakes, help
us think critically about our skills, and
provide a mental “nudge” if we find
ourselves in similar situations. With
that in mind, this seminar aims to put
a new spin on safety-oriented accident
analysis. Working with several real-life
cases, Curran and audience will play
the role of accident investigator—starting at the crash scene and working
backwards through physical evidence,
eyewitness testimony, and other leads
to figure out exactly what went wrong,
and why.
Mr. Curran grew up in Bellevue,
learning to fly at Boeing Field in
1978. Early flying included a float
rating at Kenmore, a ME rating at
Aerodyne, and towing gliders at
Issaquah. After college, he worked
on Alaska’s Aviation System Plan
and various airport master plans.
He joined the US Air Force in
1984, achieving Instructor and
Evaluator ratings in the F-15C and
B-1B. His academic credentials
include degrees from EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University and
Florida Institute of Technology.
Once the engine quits, it’s too late
to prepare. We’ll take a look at being
prepared for an engine failure in a
single engine airplane. After reviewing
preflight planning techniques, we’ll
discuss how to prepare for when
your engine fails and you don’t have
another one handy. This presentation
will bring together military techniques
and civilian artistry to increase the
likelihood of a successful landing
following an engine failure. These
practices can reduce emergency
procedure training time and costs
while increasing retention, confidence,
and probability of success.
10:15 am | SUN, FEB 23
Heritage Room
Non-Towered Airports are not
uncontrolled
Just because an airport doesn’t have
a control tower, doesn’t mean it is
without structure. Following that FAA
structure at non-towered airports
minimizes your chance of traffic
conflicts. If we all follow FAA guidance
other aircraft will act predictably,
minimizing traffic clashes.
Summers’ flying career began
as a US Army helicopter pilot.
After completing his degree, he
transferred to the US Air Force
and flew KC-135s refueling the
SR-71 and then the F-117.

Information Overload!
Is advanced technology making General
Aviation safer?
It’ll be a while before “driving and texting” stories
move off the front page but does GA have a similar affliction that is detrimental to safety? “Glass”
comes standard in most new GA airplanes, even
in two-seat, tandem taildraggers designed for
bush operation. Is it an improvement? Even a
smart phone provides today’s pilot with more
cockpit information than an airliner had in the
‘70s. Is it good or bad information? Or simply
mismanaged information?

After three and a half decades of flying big and
little airplanes, veteran pilot and CFI, JJ Greenway was itching for a new adventure. On a whim,
he flew his two seat taildragger solo from coast to
coast this past summer. Come along with him on
the trip, he’ll share some stories, introduce you to
some interesting people, show you some beautiful sights and you’ll fall in love with flying all over
again. From Washington D.C. to Seattle and back,
a two week adventure that, admit it, you’d do it
yourself if you had the time!

What’s Eating General Aviation?
And what you can do to help keep it alive!
Like interest rates, unemployment figures and
personal net worth, we are weary of the rosy
future promised to be lurking “just around the
corner” for the general aviation industry. Are
we doomed? Who or what is going to save us?
Or can we save ourselves? JJ Greenway shares
stories from other pilots around the country who
are determined to not take it lying down. The
future is not as bad as some say it is!
With over 14,300 hours of time, Greenway
has been flying since his mid-teens. A native
of Seattle, Washington, JJ learned to fly at
Boeing Field. After flying corporate and for a
regional airline, he joined American Airlines,
where he flew for 17 years as a Captain and
Check Airman on the Boeing 767. More
recently he has served as the Safety Director at AOPA ASI as well as the president of
Avemco. An active CFI for over 30 years, JJ
is currently the Director of Business Development for CAPACG, where he is tasked with
expanding market share for their product line.
CAPACG’s signature products include FlyteAnalytics™ and FDM…The Silent Mentor®. Each provide operators with low cost
flight data monitoring solutions that utilize
data from an integrated flight deck, such as
the Garmin G1000, or light weight recorder
equipped aircraft. CAPACG specializes in
creating and deploying FDM programs for operators of general aviation flight training fleets,
small regional airlines and helicopter emergency services. Please stop by the CAPACG
booth, #123, throughout the Conference to
meet JJ and learn more about their products.

Remember, You’re Not Getting Older,
Just Wiser – Maintaining a Healthy
Mind and Body as a Maturing Aviator
The population is getting older, and the age of
pilots are reflecting this. Questions are being
raised about aging pilots. The issue of safety and
performance are two of the points of debate. As
pilots, the concerns of aging are acute because of
the exacting demands on abilities and capacities.
This session assesses the relationship between
age and performance. Tartalone discusses vision,
hearing, endurance, and other physiological
factors that may affect performance deterioration
in older pilots. Additional factors such as
cognition, decision making, communication, and
reaction time will be examined in terms of safety.

The wealth of technology available in new singleengine aircraft is astounding. Moving maps,
weather information, traffic warnings, terrain
depictions, and GPS navigation have provided
us unprecedented situational awareness and
revolutionized how we fly. But, are these same
technologies causing us to take unnecessary
risks? The session examines how cockpit technology affects our decision-making processes.

Stall/Spin Awareness
We all practice and perform stalls during training
and for flight reviews, but stall/spin accidents
annually account for 10 percent of GA accidents,
and about one-third of those accidents result in
fatalities. This presentation discusses the aerodynamics of stalls and spins and uses in-cockpit
video to demonstrate stall/spin scenarios and
avoidance/recovery techniques.
1:00 pm – SUN FEB 23 | Heritage Room
IFR Flying with GPS
After a brief overview of the GPS/WAAS system,
this presentation focuses on a practical discussion of flying under IFR with an IFR-approved
GPS navigator, especially flying RNAV (GPS)
approaches, including procedures with vertical
guidance. The presentation addresses common
questions, such as when an IFR-approved GPS
can substitute for ground-based navigation aids.

Bryan understood early the dangers associated
with such a life-threatening situation because
he had experienced first-hand the cold rush
of water, the panic of disorientation, and the
extreme difficulty of evacuating a dark, inverted
and sinking aircraft.
Bryan started his underwater egress training program to help better prepare pilots and passengers
on how to survive such a traumatic event.

Okanogan/Ferry County Chapter (WPA)
Booth #210 – 211
Contributed by Dan Kuperberg

Are there airports in Eastern Washington? Do they have paved
runways? Are these apples free? These are the type of questions
of the WPA
volunteers of the
have gotten used to answering every year while working the
booth at the Northwest Aviation Conference. Volunteers invite
the prospective visitors inside the booth to take a closer look at
photographs of the eight public use airports that the chapter
supports.
Seven of these airports are owned
by the municipalities and county
that bear their names, while the
eighth is owned by the state of
Washington. Folks are surprised to
learn that not only are the runways
paved and range in length from
2,500’ to 5,000’, but four of these
airports still honor an old time
tradition known as the “courtesy
car”. These are vehicles parked at
the airport as a loaner for visiting
pilots and passengers. While many
of these rigs were built during the
Carter administration, they are
maintained by the town or pilot
groups and will serve you well as a
means to explore this fascinating
region of Washington State.
The Okanogan/Ferry Chapter has
maintained booths for 10 years
at the NW Aviation Conference.
According to outgoing Chapter
president Lee Orr, the conference
has been a great way to connect
with pilots that were looking for
new destinations to explore.
18
Lee is an enthusiastic promoter
of the area and looks forward
every year to educating the flying
community and their families
about the great recreational
opportunities in Okanogan and
Ferry Counties once the plane is
tied down.
“We aren’t selling
anything – except
recreation & adventure
for the whole family,”
Leroy Orr.
It is true. While most of the
booths are offering shiny new
toys and aviation trinkets that will
lighten your wallets useful load
dramatically, the Okanogan/Ferry
booths are just jam packed with
brochures, maps and information
about all the cool things there is to
see and do on the east side of the
Cascades. Have you ever flown in
to see a rodeo?
How about snowmobiling the
North Cascades mountains an
hour after touch down? Real estate
guides are always popular at the
booth. People are amazed at the
affordable prices and low cost of
living east of the cascades. How
about leasing a piece of land for
a hangar for $100-$200 per year?
That always gets peoples attention!
And what’s the deal with all those
apples they give away? What better
way to represent their big open
country and sunny skies then extra
fancy apples. Grown in Okanogan
County and sponsored by the
Tonasket Chamber of Commerce,
they are always a hit. For pilots
on the go, we also have “apple
snack packs” donated by American
Produce.
As pilots, getting there is always
the fun. Make North Central
Washington your destination
and you will remember why you
wanted to fly. There is a slower pace
east of the mountains.
People are friendly and enjoy
sharing their experiences. Long
days of sunshine and exploring
give way to star filled nights with
fireside gatherings.
So after you have purchased a new
mount for your GPS, attended
a weather seminar and kicked
the tires on a new Cirrus, stop
by the Okanogan/Ferry booths,
#210-211, and let the friendly,
enthusiastic volunteers help you
plan your next adventure!
Thank you, from the Conference
organizers and volunteers for your
continued support – and the apples!

of all “Fair-Trade” certification programs. Socially Sustainable® coffee recognizes and prioritizes the farmer’s sustainability over everything
else in the coffee value chain. Unlike other
certification programs, Socially Sustainable® coffee provides coffee growers with a life filled with
hope and the dignity that everyone deserves.
V(max) Coffee® also uses innovative Virtual
DirecTrade® technology to enable full transparency into the coffee value chain while maintaining the critical traceability between taste
and place. Through Virtual DirecTrade®, coffee
drinkers from around the world are able to connect in real-time with the farmer that planted
and harvested the coffee in their cups! The
technology allows coffee consumers to communicate directly with coffee farmers and virtually
experience the coffee farm via live video, photos,
weather reporting, etc.

LET’S TALK
As the new president of AOPA,
I’m making it my mission to get out
of the office and meet with pilots
where they fly.
That’s why in 2014, as AOPA celebrates
75 years of protecting our freedom to
fly, I’ll be hosting half a dozen regional
events around the country. There will be opportunities
for pilots to get together, talk flying, learn something,
and enjoy the fun of aviation.
I’ll also be taking part in local and regional events
hosted by pilot groups, state aviation associations,
airports, and others who care about general aviation.
That’s why I’m excited to be part of the Northwest
Aviation Conference. For me, it’s an opportunity to meet
with thousands of aviation enthusiasts from across the
region and celebrate GA. I’ll bring everyone up to date
on AOPA’s work in Washington, D.C., state capitals, and
local communities. But even more important, I’ll listen.
I want to know what really matters to you as a member
of the GA community. I want your input, your ideas,
and your honest feedback, and I can only get that by
interacting directly with you.
I believe strongly that it’s my job, as AOPA president,
to understand your biggest concerns, and then put the
resources of your association to work on those issues.
I hope you’ll join me in Puyallup. I can’t wait to hear
what you have to say.

Aviation Training Center
Aviation Training Center, located on Boeing Field, is
owned and operated by Spence and Marie Campbell.
Aviation Training Center is the only exclusive ground
school, simulator and aviation career preparation
training facility in the Seattle Washington area. We
do not own aircraft, but our instructors do offer flight
training either in the student’s airplane or through
the use of the airplanes of several first class Fixed
Base Operations (FBOs) in the Puget Sound region.
These FBOs are mainly located at Boeing Field,
Renton Airport, and Paine Field.
Spence and Marie Campbell | photo ATC Facebook
1/14/14 10:25 AM
Spence has been flying for over forty years. Annually
he average 2,500 hours of combined simulator,
ground school, and airplane instrument training. He
has more than sixteen years as a college vocational
teacher, and four years as vice president and corporate pilot. Spence specializes in instrument training
for students serious about becoming safe, proficient
instrument pilots, Certified Flight Instrument
Instructors (CFII) who want to become highly skilled
instrument instructors, and pilots that need specialized, individualized, or fast-track instrument training.

AWARDS | Continued from page 37
In addition, Spence performs aerobatics in many air
shows during the summer months. For his greatest air
show stunt, he radioed the show announcer, and proposed marriage to Marie Ingalls over the loudspeaker
in front of a crowd of 5,000 spectators. Marie’s last
name is now Campbell, and she is a co-owner of the
business. Among her several hats, Marie serves as
the business manager of Aviation Training Center.
ATC students claim that her knowledge of the aviation
training world and her “personal touch” are some
of the reasons that they keep coming back. Marie is
active in following hiring trends and insuring that the
Center has the latest statistics for their students in
interview preparations. For the last two years, Marie
has assisted in planning and served on panels for the
Aviation Career Forum held the Friday prior to the
Conference and Trade Show.
Aviation Training Center has been selected for the NW
Spirit of Aviation award for their consistent growth,
ability to stay competitive and current as well as their
unwavering support of student pilots and the future
of aviation in the Northwest. Congratulations!
Visit the Aviation Training Center,booth #118, at the
NW Aviation Conference. You can also catch Marie,
February 21, as a panelist at the Aviation Business
and Career Forum in Puyallup. See page 44.
Pearson Air Museum | photo City of Vancouver
In 2012 Pearson Field received national recognition through the American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics (AIAA) as a historic aerospace site.
Documented use of the area dates to the early 1800s
when it was farmed to feed residents of adjacent
Fort Vancouver. First landing at this site by Lincoln
Beachey in his Baldwin airship in 1905. In 1911, the
field’s first airplane landed there.
Over the years, the field was visited by such notables
as Charles Lindbergh, Jimmy Doolittle, Eddie Rickenbacker and squadrons of barnstormers. The Field was
named after Lt. Alexander Pearson, “one of the best
known and finest pilots in the Air Service.” Pearson
won the first cross-country air race in 1919 and made
the first aerial survey of the Grand Canyon.

Despite it’s long aviation tradition, in recent years
Pearson Field has had to fight for its existence. In
late 2012, the City, PDX and local pilots were notified of a new proposed FAA restriction, dubbed
the “Pearson Box,” that would have significantly
changed aircraft access to shared airspace. In a
heroic display of community and elected official
support, the FAA was convinced to reconsider their
determination.
The sudden eviction left the community stunned
and bewildered as to why and how the NPS
took this action. With the sudden closure of the
operations facility and most of the exhibits in
storage, the headway that volunteers had made
with educational programs was in grave danger
of being consumed by lack of hope. Instead, the
museum volunteers and leadership reorganized
and relaunched itself as the Pearson Field Education Center.
Currently, in a dispute between the US National
Parks Service and the local non-profit, Fort Vancouver Trust, which formerly operated the Pearson Air
Museum, the Park Service objected to the Pearson
Air Museum making its historic hangar facility and
grounds available for dances, marriage ceremonies, church picnics and other fund-raisers.
The Trust, City of Vancouver and the NPS have
entered in to formal mediation on the future
operation of Pearson Air Museum. All parties are
hopeful that this process will bring about a resolution that is acceptable to all three organizations.
It was further noted that the National Park Service
had determined as early as 2011 that the plan
was a “transition to NPS management of Pearson
Air Museum,” stating that the Fort Vancouver Trust
was simply a “vendor” not a “partner.” This was in
contrast to the 1996 understanding that “the site
to be collaboratively managed without the singular application of NPS regulations.” (Strahan).
The disagreement resulted in the Park Service
taking possession of the museum, asserting that
they would take over operation of the aviation
attraction within. The Trust volunteers quickly
rallied and moved out the historical artifacts and
planes to different locations at Pearson Field.
“This could not have been accomplished, “ asserted Laureano Mier, Director, “without the assistance of volunteers and members of the museum,
pilots from the airfield, veterans from the area
V.A. hospital including several Vietnam veterans,
neighbors, local business owners, friends and
families who have held cherished events at the
museum, and children who treasure and love
what the Fort Vancouver National Trust has worked
so hard to create – a community asset that inspires
and educates about the Golden Age of Aviation.”

FORUM | Continued from page 42
Career Forum:
The career tracks include hand’s on
advise on all aspects of the industry
– from pilots, mechanics to airport
support.
Seminars include panels with active duty pilots including airline,
coast guard, WSP, float pilots and
provided information from industry
leaders, colleges and airports. Rachel
Hansen, organizer of the conference was thrilled with the response
this event got in its first year. “I was
excited when the idea got immediate
feedback,” said Hansen regarding
the tracks.
Attendance is not limited to
students – high school or college many attendees seeking resources
were pilots, aviation graduates and
transitioning military.
One such attendee, Steve Tank, sent
us a letter in which he credited the
Forum for providing the opportunity to connect him to a career with
Alaska Airlines.
“I feel the workshop is very
valuable for people looking for a
future career in aviation, ” wrote
Steve, “I believe there is a large
void in this arena and it’s something I think you can capitalize
on with the impending pilot
shortage on the horizon.”
In all 55 speakers volunteered
their time to present at the 2013
Forum. Many of these are returning to support the 2014 event.
From resume writing to coast
guard training or airport management – and all in between – the
topics are limitless.
This February we will be repeating last year’s most popular
including panels from actively
employed aviators in all walks of
the industry. Attendees were able
to ask questions and understand
expectations. In 2014 we will
take this one step further by
asking our presenters to help us
visualize with “a day in the life”
presentations.

The Aviation Business and Career Forum will be hosted Friday,
February 21 at the Washington State Fairgrounds. Cost is $35
