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 🦆

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?

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.

Got to do my first flight in a month after there was finally a break in the winter weather and even got a bit of thermals on the way back!

Writeup of my #flight in a #Cessna172 to #kmcd to go #xcskiing
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)

Yay, finally! A break in the clouds!
First time alone with the good old C172.
And the Abelbeck Aviation Checklist worked flawlessly! 🙂
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.

A quick shots from today’s flight back home.

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?

Just did a club checkout for a new member. Great to see new people in the club.
