Title:
SUMMER SAFETY BRIEFING and BBQ
Topic:
Ramp Checks – Part II – Follow-up by FAA Inspectors conducting Educational Ramp Inspections
Speaker(s):
Chris Mazurkiewicz, FAA Maintenance Inspector
Brief Description:
At our last Summer Safety Briefing, many attendees expressed interest in the FAA's Educational Ramp Inspections program.
At this month's briefing, the Portland FSDO's Chris Mazurkiewicz will conduct ramp inspections, with an emphasis on both aircraft and logbooks. Even better, pilots are invited to volunteer their own planes for inspection. At the end of the seminar, pilots will be given notes on areas that may need attention (with no risk of additional FAA actions). It's a perfect opportunity to learn how to self-inspect an airplane, and of particular interest to anyone who's thinking about becoming an aircraft owner.
Come and learn from the FAA professionals as the conduct Educational Ramp Inspections on local aircraft.
This month's safety briefing gets underway on Saturday, June 22 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.

Additional Event Information & Acknowledgement of Industry Sponsor(s):
As our days get longer and our flying ranges extend, it's important to remind folks that Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are serious business. Pilots should talk to briefers before all but the most routine flights, and it's not a bad idea to stay on top of things a day or two before you fly. The Flight Planning section at WillametteAir.com features several resources, including links to current NOTAM and TFR information. We recommend that pilots become familiar with the FAA's TFR Map (link), which offers a graphic representation of TFR dimensions in a given ARTCC or state. Whether it's a summer mountain fire or a VIP visit to PDX, you don't want to get caught in the air unaware.
