Welcome to Chapter 648

Spring has arrived, and some people say this is now flying season, when in reality, in Colorado flying season is year round.  But now is the time to enjoy flying in the mountains with the understanding of the winds and performance of your aircraft. If you haven’t yet, please get trained before you take on the mountains.

This months program will be presented Tiffany Tracy from the Denver Center as a controller. She will be talking about mountain flying from a controllers perspective.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Our airport is busy, but on those really nice days, it’s really busy. This increase in traffic has created some chatter about landing fees, and the increase of the general public tracking aircraft. We will carve out some time this Saturday to discuss these issues.

Our gathering will be at my hangar. Building 15, unit 44. We will begin at 9:45 am with meet and greet. The program will promptly  begin at 10:00 am. We will finish up by grilling some burgers and brats. Looking forward to seeing you.
