So Mike, we're trimming this by one day this year versus 2016?

It's Friday, Saturday and Sunday, just like the ones I've been to. What day was trimmed?

[StevenL757]

Last year was 9/29 to 10/2.  See the earlier thread under this specific forum.

I still have your prize from the last summit.  At the rate we're going, you probably won't get it until then.

Last year, we were hoping to have a redbird full motion sim available for Thursday, but that didn't come together, hence the 29th was a day of bench flying for a lot of us.

This year, we will once again have the companion course in the Bamboo theatre, along with new topics and subject matter experts. I am working on the agenda now, and will post a tentative agenda as soon as I have it somewhat firmed up. Next year, this event will be in the capable hands of Seth Meyers and Lee Drumheller. Seth and Lee have a lot of great ideas that will keep the Mooney Summit a "must attend" for all Mooney pilots and owners. We will have the PROTE reduced O chamber in 2018, and will have a 4 day event so that everyone can have the opportunity to learn what their tells are.

Stay tuned, this will be a good one!

For those that receive the March issue of FLYING magazine, on page 70 there is an article about the Bombadier safety standown. The Mooney Summit has a remarkable parallel to this event. This year, at the Mooney Summit V, we are fortunate to have one of the founding SME's of the Bombadier safety standown, Dr. Tony Kern, deliver our keynote address on the psychology makeup of pilots. This has been a requested topic for the last 3 Summits, and finding a true expert has been elusive until Dr. Kern stepped up! His presentation will be a "don't miss" event! Welcome Dr. Kern!

Mike, is that counting spouses, too?  how many pilots did we have for the first summit? 45-50?

[mike_elliott]

Yes, it includes spouses also Robert. I think we had 38 pilots and around 20 spouses Summit I

That is really cool that they are advertising the Mooney Summit on their home page as well.
