CAP Squadron 80 Aerospace Education

This site is intended as a log of Aerospace Education activity in the Civil Air Patrol,
California Wing, San Jose Senior Squadron 80. As such, it will probably be of limited
interest to anyone outside of that organization (and even to many within it), but feel
free to poke around anyway.

We apologize in advance for the utter lack of salacious content. But since there is no shortage
of other sites that will be happy to cater to that need, we won't be losing any sleep over it.

Presentation: January 2021

This month's AE presenter: Capt. Samuels

Date of presentation: 25 Jan 2021
Subject: Master's research
Description: A few years ago, Squadron 80 pilots participated in (then) 1st Lt Tara Samuel's master's thesis assessing the effectiveness of several simulated modifications to the standard cockpit instrument panel. At this meeting, (now) Capt. Samuels returned with a summary of her research findings from that study.

The primary topic was how a certain instrument in the avionics panel is lacking in vital information that would benefit all pilots, and how the instrument should be updated to accommodate this information. Her research was interesting, to say the least, and she defended her conclusion well. Unfortunately, at this time I do not recall what the information in question is (sorry, Tara), but undoubtedly somebody will enlighten me.
