SPANS is an online event notification system. The FAA has recently launched the SPANS system to provide better seminar and event information notification in a timely manner and easy access for Airmen. The SPANS system took the place of the former paper based mail system.
Registered users receive automatic email notifications, detailed event information, important notices, and local contact information via email. You do not need to be registered to search for events online nor do you need to be a pilot to participate. For more information visit www.faasafety.gov/SPANS.
