The 2014 BFA Online Continuing Education Seminar Webinar© will be presented on Saturday, March 8, 2014 in cooperation with the LTA Colorado Safety Seminar. The event will be streamed live with production services presented by Aero-News Network.
The BFA Seminar Webinar© is designed for those balloonists that can't get to a face-to-face seminar, but still want to maintain their education, especially regarding flying safely. The user will need a computer and a stable Internet connection to access the site.
To attend "on-line", you will need to register in advance of the session. Once payment is received, you will receive a registration number by email that will be used on the day of the event to check-in. You will be provided information on how to access the site where the Seminar Webinar© will be hosted. After the Seminar Webinar© has completed, you will need to complete a short, on-line test to verify your attendance.
The seminar will be broadcast from the Aurora Public Schools Professional Learning and Conference Center in Aurora, CO. from approximately 7:45 am to 6:00 pm Mountain Time. The Seminar Webinar© is fully sanctioned by the BFA and should qualify for most insurance company discounts.

CANCELED
We have had a few calls this past week in reference to the Safety Seminar that we scheduled for March 8th. Due to the fact that only 6 people registered for the seminar by Febuary 15th just few weeks before it was scheduled, I cancelled the seminar due to lack of response. This was the first time I have had to do this in the 20 years that we have sponsored these here in Albuquerque. I am sorry, but it did not make since to have it with more instructors than students.
Due to the calls that we have had the past week I would be willing to reschedule the seminar if I get a reasonable amount of people who want to have one. I am sure that the instructors will still be available if the interest is there. Please let me know if you are interested and I will see if I can reschedule in a few weeks.
The January 2015 Safety Seminar at Sea is going great with a few cabins still available, no chance of this happening there as I am sure we will be filling up the spaces available soon!!Morgan Braden

It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.
— Wilbur Wright

Can you fly in Class "D" airspace without a radio?
Can you identify class "E" airspace? Where the "F" in airspace?
Who is responsible for making sure a logbook entry is made after maintenance?

These lively and fun Saturday morning sessions are perfect for anyone interested in learning more about the sport of hot air ballooning:
Crew
Aspiring pilots
Student pilots
Private pilots

People interested in ballooning
If you are a crew member, this is a good place to increase your understanding of what’s going on. If you aspire to become a pilot, this is the first step to passing the FAA knowledge exam and earning your pilot certificate. If you are already a pilot, this is a good refresher. If you are working on your Commercial certificate, this is where you can brush up on what you will be teaching your students. Sure you can study on your own, but the classroom setting makes for interesting discussion and questions are asked that you might not think of on your own.
When: Saturdays, Jan 18, Feb 1, 22, Mar, 1, 8, 15 (subject to change to meet class needs)
08:00 - 12:00 (or later)
Where: Jackson Co. Airport (JXN) EAA Chapter 304 hgr., Jackson MI
Cost: $220. (Discount for previous students)
Qualifies: For IMC & Schantz insurance seminar discounts
Students who successfully complete the class will be eligible to receive the required endorsement to take the private or commercial LTA FAA Knowledge exam.
