The session, focused on non-controlled aerodromes, will give pilots practical tips about flying efficiently and safely at the aerodrome types and discovering the CASA resources available to support them.
CASA's Tim Penney said the seminar would include discussion on looking and listening out, radio calls, procedures, pre-flight planning and supporting systems in aircraft that can help pilots manage the risks and fly safely into and out of non-controlled aerodromes.
"We also use case studies to see how things can go wrong and how pilots can be prepared to mitigate those risks to fly safely," he said.

The session was suitable for pilots of all skill levels and offered the chance to talk about safety issues with other local pilots in the area.
Most Australian aerodromes are in non-controlled airspace and Australian Transport Safety Bureau statistics show there have been more than 60 incidents, including mid-air and ground collisions, in or around non-controlled aerodromes in recent years, CASA said.
The authority's safety advisors host free seminars for pilots at locations around Australia year-round, where pilots are welcome to raise safety issues and ask questions about rules and regulations.
