Surviving a Midair Collision: Lessons from Phil Grgurich

Join the Columbia Aviation Association for a special presentation from pilot Phil Grgurich, who will share his firsthand experience involving a midair collision and subsequent forced landing.

Phil developed this presentation to help other pilots learn from the event, particularly newer and developing aviators. He will discuss what occurred, how he responded under pressure, and the practical safety lessons that can be drawn from the experience.

This candid presentation offers a valuable opportunity to examine aeronautical decision-making, emergency response, situational awareness, and the importance of sharing difficult experiences so that others may become safer pilots.
