The AOPA Summit is Thu-Sat. PilotEdge will be demonstrated to the convention's attendees from approx 8am-4pm PST on Thu-Sat. At least, those are the hours listed on the convention schedule, so I assume those will be the hours the convention hall itself is open.
If you are comfortable flying on the network and interacting with ATC, you are invited to do as much flying during the above window as you can possibly stand, in and around the LGB area.
The demo we'll be running at the Summit will consist of an IFR flight out of LGB for vectors to the ILS RWY 30 back into Long Beach in a BE58 Baron, with a full stop landing. VFR pilots will have the option of doing a lap or two around the pattern.
To that end, the type of traffic that would be most helpful at the convention would be precisely the operations listed above. That will maximize the likelihood of being on the same set of freqs as us at the convention. The goal of having other live aircraft is to highlight that this isn't a solitary world...other aircraft are there to be seen, heard, and that they affect our own flights.
Please don't do anything wacky, and don't be a tool on the radio. Not to be blunt...but this is an important demo, and is being presented as a serious training tool.
Any questions at all....seriously, anything....feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance to anyone that is able to help out...it will not be forgotten.
