Ground School in full swing..

This season's ground school has been underway for several weeks. Last night, Al Baldry introduced the class to flight preparations for a cross country trip as part of his navigation component. Completion of the ground school is a key element of the full package of requirements for certification as a pilot. The Club is fortunate to have very experienced instructors who are willing to give their time and share their knowledge with those who seek to become pilots. Al is one of many Club members who provide instruction on the various essential areas of study.

A Picture speaks a thousand words...

The picture of Kaitlyn is telling everyone that she's thrilled to have her flight test and other obstacles to certification behind her. Matt, her very proud instructor, had been trying to catch up with Kaitlyn for a picture ever since she passed her Flight Test on October 18th. Today, he finally did so - in flying conditions that were absolutely great. Can you tell it's just a little cold though - check out Kaitlyn's mittens.

Matt is still trying to get his trio of successful pilots, Kaitlyn, Steve and Scott, together for a group picture. Recording their achievement over the same weekend would be quite something.
