Mitchell Pribble, Director of Air Operations, Tucson Branch, from the U S Department of Homeland Security will be a speaker and will answer questions about why some aircraft are asked to be searched. Mitch is a pilot and flight instructor with over 13000 hours. He has been in law enforcement for 24 years and was with the New Mexico State Police, but is now part of the U S Customs and Border Protection and DHS.

Bring your questions. We want this event to clear up any misunderstandings on both parts of the Government and General Aviation.

The program will identify problem areas and procedures that have led to surface incidents and incursions at the airport. AZ FAASTeam members and flight instructors will discuss the specific areas that have historically been problem areas or hot spots for surface navigation problems.
