The Los Angeles SAWE Chapter is happy to cordially invite you to join us for the Southwest Regional Conference on March 8-10, 2018<\/strong> at Temecula Creek Inn. The venue is a beautiful golf resort with nearby wineries, casinos, old town attractions, hot air ballooning, restaurants, shopping, and other local attractions.<\/p>\n Special conference hotel rates for Thursday 3\/8 to Saturday 3\/10 night room are $139\/night + 12.45% room tax.<\/strong><\/p>\n Temecula Creek Inn<\/strong> Please use this link<\/a> to make your hotel reservations, which includes special conference pricing and a fee waiver. You must book your reservation before the deadline on February 16, 2018.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> for their brochure.<\/p>\n Regular Registration- $60<\/strong> Registration cost includes Friday\u2019s technical presentations, exhibitor information, coffee breaks, and a luncheon.<\/p>\n Click here to access the RegOnline registration portal.<\/a><\/p>\n Registration is due by March 1, 2018.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n To sign-up for a training course, use the same registration portal here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following training courses will be offered :<\/p>\n Cost: $500 Description: This one-day class will present the features of the Automated Weight and Balance System in a hands\u2011<\/span>on software training class. The class will include explanations of the charts and forms (Chart A, Form B, Chart C, and Form F) explained in RP7 to maintain good operational weight and balance of military aircraft. The basic approach of the class is to give computer demonstrations followed by student exercises that provide the students with a good understanding of AWBS Version 10.0 features and capabilities. The instructor will also address students\u2019 specific AWBS questions. Cost: $150 Description: This one day class provides a high-level overview of the fundamental principles of weight engineering in new Aircraft Design as described in the SAWE Aircraft Weight Engineering Textbook. Course Topics include: Requirements Development, Aircraft Performance, Conceptual Aircraft Design Weight Estimates & Optimization, Preliminary Design Studies, Detail Design and Database Management. The class will use the issues that occur with future trainer aircraft as an example of applied Weight Engineering. Students attending the class will receive a copy of the Aircraft Weight Engineering Textbook. Cost: $150 Description: The initial section of the course is to explain the development of thermoplastic materials from the early materials, which are now classed as commodity\/ packaging products in the Aerospace Industry, to the present day high performance materials, which are now being utilized in Aerospace designs as replacements for traditional metallic components. Details of the properties of these High Performance materials will be discussed, together with examples of actual applications. Utilizing the properties of Thermoplastics, comparing and contrasting with metallic materials, and the process of replacing traditional materials will be briefly discussed, at this juncture. The latter section of the course will cover new and developing non metallic materials, which will operate at more extreme conditions and have begun to replace traditional metallic systems in new aircraft design. Working examples will be on view, for discussion and examination. Cost: FREE Description: This half-day session will begin with an overview of ShipWeight, demonstrating the use of a database application for mass properties engineering. Attendees will learn how the software can be customized for their industry, including creating their own work breakdown structure, user-defined data fields, and finally custom reports, ranging from simple tabular formats to sophisticated trend and graphical reports. Other areas of focus will include early stage parametric estimation, importing data from other sources, tracking and monitoring mass properties, and preparing custom historical databases for use in estimation of future projects. The session is intended to be interactive, with questions and discussion from the group.<\/p>\n Hospitality Suite will be open Thursday through Saturday evenings, offering refreshments in an informal atmosphere.<\/p>\n Thank you to our generous exhibitors and sponsors.
