Brief Description:
We'll Review Flight Plan Changes at August Safety Briefing!
All pilots are familiar with the FAA's standard flight plan form — if you've been flying for a while, you might even have each box and all of the codes memorized. However, starting on Aug. 27, the FAA is transitioning all domestic flights to the international flight plan form, which aligns with ICAO standards.
Join us at this month's Summer Safety Briefing, where we'll take a closer look at what brought about the change, what to expect, and how to get the most from the international form. Pilots have been able to use the ICAO flight plan as an option for some time now. In fact, the mandatory transition originally was announced in 2017. However, this is the year that the familiar domestic form will be eliminated. We'll discuss what that means for you, whether you file over the telephone or electronically.
This month's Safety Briefing gets underway on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 1100 hrs in the Education Hangar at Willamette Aviation, and it's eligible for FAA Wings credit. We'll also host a Community Potluck BBQ at 12 noon, with plenty of burgers and dogs for everyone. Drop by to get a look at the airplanes on our ramp, and please bring chips, a dish, or a dessert to share if you can.

Before you fly…
Preflight resources can be found at WillametteAir.com - Flight Deck. Don't forget — it's your responsibility to obtain all available information regarding the route and destination of your flight, so take a few moments to examine the latest METARs and TAFs, see if there are any NOTAMs or TFRs applicable to your flight.
Be sure you've jotted down all of the relevant radio frequencies on your kneeboard before you get airborne. Talk to a Flight Service Specialist to get a comprehensive review of the information you've obtained.
And then … have fun!
