So, you have your private pilot license...now what? Call us today to take your dreams to the next level.
Today's flight plan: networking, community, and maybe a little balloon turbulence. Our CFIs stepped away from the flight line and headed to the Meet me at Westport event to talk all things aviation. We may teach people how to fly airplanes, but apparently we are also qualified to navigate balloon arches. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello! We enjoyed getting out of the airport and connecting with the community!
Stop by today to meet some of our CFIs and find out what Gateway can do for you! We'll see you soon!
Before an aircraft leaves the ground, there’s a lot that goes into the flight. Weather NOTAMs Fuel planning Aircraft inspections Route planning Performance calculations Alternates available Known ATC delays Runway lengths Pre-flight briefing That preparation is part of what makes aviation so rewarding, and why becoming a pilot is so much more than simply learning to control an aircraft.
Monday Myth or Fact? If the engine stops, the airplane immediately falls out of the sky?? MYTH. An airplane without engine power can still glide! Exactly how far it can glide depends on the aircraft, altitude, wind, configuration, and pilot technique. This is one reason emergency procedures and knowing your aircraft matter so much. What aviation myth have you heard that you want us to settle?
Would you know what to do? You’re flying along on a beautiful, clear day when you notice your engine instruments aren’t showing what you normally see. Do you: A. Keep flying and monitor B. Start working through your emergency checklist C. Contact ATC and let them know what’s happening D. All of the above, depending on the situation What’s your answer? One of the biggest parts of becoming a safe pilot isn’t memorizing every possible emergency, it’s learning how to recognize a problem, stay calm. And make good decisions. That’s why good flight training goes far beyond simply learning how to take off and land. Call us today to get started!
