Saturday Morning Coffee and Wings Seminar

Saturday morning coffee: Now with Wings credit... and doughnuts (maybe)

On most Saturday mornings, the Chapter 54 house at Lake Elmo Airport opens for coffee, hangar talk, and Laura Hermann's excellent weekly webinar on the big screen.  Anyone staying for at least 50 minutes of the presentation is eligible for knowledge credits under the Wings program, which can extend the time due for the next biennial flight review. 

The Chapter House opens at 8:30 a.m. and the webinar starts at 9.

The Basic Wings level of the program is designed for those pilots who want to establish a recurrent training program that will provide them a higher level of proficiency than merely preparing for a normal Flight Review as required by 14 CFR 61.56. Pilots need not accomplish the flight review requirements of 14 CFR part 61.56, if he or she has satisfactorily completed any Phase in the WINGS - Pilot Proficiency Program since the beginning of the 24th calendar month before the month in which that pilot acts as pilot in command.  Be sure to set up an account at https://www.FAASafety.gov .

Saturday 5/3 - No seminar. Host unavailable.

Saturday 5/10 - Keith Smith from Pilot Edge (a simulated ATC service) joins us for Part 2 of a series on building a home simulator.  He'll begin by covering best practices and pitfalls.  Keith will discuss aircraft positioning, setting the weather, and the importance of knowing how to utilize pre-configured views to get around the cockpit when you don't have a "full" home cockpit.  He will then give us a short demonstration using human-driven ATC. Here is a link to a recording of our first presentation on home simulators given by John Tenney if you weren't able to attend the session. (Note: There is a Young Eagles Day and a chapter fly-out occurring at the same time.
