8/13/14	8 p.m. CDT	Resolving Owner/Mechanic Disputes FAA AMT & Wings Credit	Mike Busch
Few things are more upsetting to an aircraft owner than getting into a disagreement with a mechanic. That's especially true if the aircraft is in the middle of its annual inspection and the mechanic says he can't sign it off unless the owner agrees to do something expensive (like overhauling the engine) that the owner really doesn't want to do. Maintenance expert and owner advocate Mike Busch offers a sure-fire three-step method for dealing with such situations with minimal stress and bloodshed.
8/20/14	7 p.m. CDT	Keeping Flying Affordable	Scott Sky Smith
Tips, tricks and new ideas that pilots and owners can use to keep their aircraft flying affordably. Covering basic cost of ownership, ownership alternatives, owner-assisted annuals, insurance tips, training issues, simulators and other ways to reduce maintenance costs.
8/27/14	7 p.m. CDT	Pushing Your Limits: Tips for Flying Long Cross Country Flights	Arty Trost
