Two packed days of classroom instruction will be followed by a student-led pattern testing clinic at the Carlisle Municipal Airport, Carlisle, Arkansas.
This training will be appropriate for anyone who wants to become an Operation S.A.F.E. Analyst or Technician. It will also be a good refresher for anyone wanting an update on the latest analysis equipment and ag aviation research. If you need to be recertified as an analyst or a technician, this training will also cover that. All graduates will have their names submitted to NAAREF for approval as either an analyst or a technician.
With the growth of C-PAASS, the demand for Operation S.A.F.E. is expected to increase dramatically. WRK’s Operation S.A.F.E. Analyst training is your opportunity to learn how to operate the flight line collection setup, the analysis equipment and software, and gain knowledge on how to interpret ag aircraft application patterns and make recommendations. More information on the training will be forthcoming. If you are interested in attending, contact Dennis Gardisser at (501) 676-1762 or dgardisser@icloud.com.
