An In-person/Virtual Hybrid Event

Speaker: Captain Doug Morris
For decades, the ILS (Instrument Landing System) has guided pilots to safe landings in low visibility. Captain Doug Morris will discuss the components and intricacies of the ILS. It is the approach of choice with reluctance to adapt to new GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. Learn about autoland, what it takes to get airborne in low visibility and how pilots keep current. Take-offs in low visibility conditions will also be discussed.

He is a certified meteorologist and the author of four books and has been writing for Air Canada’s inflight magazine for 24 years. Doug is a flight and weather instructor and recently obtained his Masters in Aviation and Aerospace Management from Purdue University (Indiana).
