Looks like there is going to be some changes for CFIs w/ the TSA coming up. Look forward to more info from SAFE& #NAFI

Today during a club member’s flight review (First person doing what I am now calling Sam’s Comprehensive Flight Review) I passed 1000 hours total time.
Really happy. This came later than I wanted but still so happy.

Nice day to fly for pizza 🍕

So since some have asked. Here is what I have been working on for a Comprehensive Flight Review. The target for this is club/lower yearly time GA pilots.
The idea would be to talk to the pilot ahead of time and fine tune but this gives them a starting point on what we would cover. (link to PDF)
Thoughts?

Sadly not shocked by this but having a PE firm own the app that I use every flight is a bit worrisome.

Does anyone know of a pilot looking for a partner in a high performance #airplane or twin such a Bonanza, Barron, Seneca, DA-42, Malibu in the #KMSN area?

Complete Walkaround did their yearly breakdown of top selling aircraft. Not really any surprises here other than one that did not make the list. Only 2 Beechcraft Barrons were made last year... 2. WOW.

Well looks like the #FAA is planning on killing off Flight Service Stations (FSS) and their associated Remote Communication Outlets (RCO).
Truthfully I am not shocked. I have not used FSS as a private #pilot for… a long time.

Working on the CFII again. Hitting the books.

Went flying last night. Was nice quiet night. Got 2 approaches and some great chicken strips.

Also looks like the FAA has deleted AME guidance for special issuance for HRT and gender dysphoria. Searching for gender dysphoria on the FAA site still results in a link, but the file is missing.

I have not seen people talking about this so far w/ 47's cuts to roles. "Members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee received a memo Tuesday" eliminating their role. This is a mandated committee by law dating back to PanAm 103.

Went #flying so far 2x this year. Not bad for being 4 days in. Yesterday was a ferry moving a #Cessna 172B from one home to another so it could have the annual done. Then today went around the patch with a club member who had not flown for 4 months and wanted CFI with to bust the rust off. (Pics from 1st flight)

Is there a really accurate #Cessna 172 for Microsoft Flight Sim 2020? The default ones really are not the best and need some serious upgrades.

Well, looks like the weather will keep me from flying until the end of the year. Was short of my 150 hour goal but at least did break 100 this year.

KLSE from the air. All the snow looks great.

I am thinking of flying into KMIC (Crystal Airport in Minneapolis) but their lack of FBO and from pilot comments stating minimal tie downs has me rethinking it (especially since it’s winter 🥶)
Thoughts?
