On Tuesday, September 17th, at our next general meeting, Mike Cavanaugh will present a program entitled Short Field Operations. The presentation, sponsored by the FAA Safety Team (FAAS Team) is for WINGS credit (Basic Knowledge 3 – 1 Credit). To quote their official description of the event: “This presentation will review the recommended procedures as found in the Airplane Flying Handbook for operating in/out of ‘short fields’ in GA Aircraft. Special considerations for operating in the Western areas of NC will also be discussed. The presentation will also include a period for questions and audience discussion.”
Mike’s presentation will follow the pizza meal at 6:15 in the Lacy Griffin aviation center. If no parking space is available in front of the building, use the spaces in the adjacent maintenance yard (gate 24), in the viewing area down the road, or in the small lot catty-cornered to the Lacy Griffin center.
Our monthly Fly-In Lunch on Saturday, September 21st will be to The Scoop at Pickens airport (LQK, 38 NM SSW of Asheville Regional). Plan your flight to arrive at noon at the restaurant for lunch and/or ice cream. As always, the pilot in command has the final go/no go decision about the safety of the flight.
