Had a quick flight this morning to JVL for brunch. Decided to do it as I woke up and figured we had good enough weather to make it quick. About an hour after landing back at MSN the snow started lol.

Took my student on his first cross country flight. Of course we went to KOSH.

Went flying last night with the 172’s owner to do some practice on the avionics and landings. Dropped him off to see his daughter’s softball game and took the plane back to MSN. Lower clouds but really nice night to fly.

Went flying this weekend with some club members. We got some new avionics in one of the planes and wanted to learn as a group (and get brunch). Great club event.

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.

Had to wait on the taxiway for a duck 🦆

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?

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?

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.

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

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.
