Brief Description:
Plan a Flight to the San Juans at This Month's Safety Briefing!
If you're planning to fly solo or take passengers to a distant airport this summer, it may be time to brush up on your flight planning as well. At this month's Summer Safety Briefing, Willamette Aviation CFI Matthew Mikesh will offer a look at VFR Cross Country Flying. As most pilots know, it's not terribly challenging to fly from point-to-point while following an electronic line on a GPS or Foreflight. But what if the unit fails, the battery dies, or you are unexpectedly diverted? Matthew will use a cross-country flight from Aurora to the San Juan Islands as the basis for a comprehensive overview of flying long distances in VFR conditions, from the earliest planning stages to the unexpected events that can happen along the way.

Before you fly…
This month's Safety Briefing gets underway on Saturday, June 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.
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!
Prior to attending a safety seminar please review and abide by current CDC, State and Local health guidelines.
