2023 MAPA Safety Foundation PPP locations & dates

[Jerry 5TJ]

I’m planning to be in Lexington KY June 8-10 for the PPP.

Need to start working on them to get one up in the PNW. 

Maybe KSFF?  Maybe even KCOE in the Sept.  Think The Coeur d’Alene Resort would give us a deal????

Thank you sir!

I am bringing my wife, I hope everyone else is as well….or wives, I hope you bring your husbands.

[Jerry 5TJ]

Attendees flying in should plan on arriving Thursday afternoon at KLEX.  There is transportation to the hotel most of Thursday.

I’m very much looking forward to this weekend and hope to meet some of you fine MS folk as well. Picture added for recognition help

The PDF says "Cost Per Person $925" - does that mean that if I bring my non-flying spouse my bill will be $1850? Is this in error, or do they really charge full price for a non-flying, non-participating, uninterested passenger?

[Justin Schmidt]

Why would a "non-flying, non-participating, uninterested passenger" be in the class? If they are not in the class well no...If they are in the class they are not a non-participating passenger.

I've taken my wife. She hangs out with the other non-flying partners, goes shopping, sight seeing, etc. Then we go to dinner together. That way we both enjoy the weekend!  

And no, theres been no charge for her. Just another full seat when traveling, more kuggage to load / unload and twice the food bill.

[Red Leader]

I was thinking of the dinners. She will not be attending any classes but I do want to bring her with me for the food and was concerned the extra person charge would make those meals cost prohibitive.

There is one group dinner Saturday night which i would expect in the neighborhood of $50. All other meals are on you. But you’ll have to inquire when you sign up.

I brought my wife to the Lexington PPP last month. The only fee was for the Saturday banquet dinner. She had a good time hanging out with Mrs. @hubcap.

The next MAPASF PPP is in Westfield Massachusetts in a month, on September 8-10.  Registration is open.

@Jerry 5TJ Any word on the 2024 schedule yet?!?!  

I vote for KSFF in May or Oct.

Should be easy to coordinate PAR (and ASR) approaches at KSKA!!

KSFF would be a great location.  Much closer than KSMX, which I go to every 2 years.

I guess I shouldn't have limited it to May or Oct.  Just late spring/early summer or early fall.

And if they ever have one at Nantucket, MA again, it might be worth the X-US flight.  We used to go to ACK all the time and loved the PPP they had years ago (guess I'm dating myself...).
