Wannabe Flyer 2011

N1626X SOLD!

December 5, 2010

The club has sold our old Cessna 210 in only 7 days  from the time of ad placement!  It has been a good learning experience for me.

The closing was this previous Friday and the purchaser is an airline pilot.

Jim might be putting an engine in it as a transaction completely separate from the club.  The club has been paid in full.

A great way to end 2010!

FAA Safety Team – “Line Up and Wait”

October 3, 2010

FAA Safety Team | Safer Skies Through Education

Line Up and Wait
Notice Number: NOTC2554

Line Up and Wait Phraseology Change

·    Beginning September 30, 2010 , the words “Line Up and Wait” will replace the words “Position and Hold” to instruct a pilot to enter the runway to await take-off clearance. Under the new “Line Up and Wait” phraseology, the controller will:

-      State your call-sign;

-      State the departure runway;

-      State “Line Up and Wait”.

·     Exercise Caution.  Be aware the phrase “Traffic Holding in Position” will continue to be used to advise other aircraft that traffic has been authorized to “Line Up and Wait” on an active runway.

·    REMEMBER:  Never cross a hold line without explicit ATC instructions.  You may not enter a runway unless you have been:

-      Instructed to cross or taxi onto that specific runway

-      Cleared to take off from that runway, or

-      Instructed to “Line Up and Wait” on that specific runway.

Please visit: http:// www.faa.gov/go/runwaysafety for more details on the change as well as to view an instructional animation explaining the new phraseology.

If in doubt ASK!

Just sending everyone a reminder that I will be having an aviation safety seminar at the Civil Air Patrol building on October 28th, starting at 6pm. The topic will be “What Just Happened?“.

It will be a fun  interactive program concentrating on “Airport Operations”, including Pilot Deviations, Threat and Error Mangagement,”On the ground and in the air”.
