The flying season’s unofficial kick-off is next week, as the gates open for the 2014 edition of the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-in at the Lakeland airport. There will be new products to see and spectacular airshows, but for iPad pilots there will also be a number of opportunities to learn.
Among the dozens of seminars covering the iPad, here are some to note:

All seminars except the Garmin one will take place at the Central Florida Aerospace Academy. The full seminar schedule is available here.
There’s also another “game show” like seminar being presented by MyGoFlight in cooperation with IMC Clubs. It’s called the EFB Challenge, and we’ll be posing questions to contestants and looking for the quickest correct answer. Should be tons of fun!
