STUDENT OF THE MONTH

     • Jack Heine

     This month’s recipient of Student of the Month is Jack Heine.  Jack is working towards his Private Pilot’s License in the Citabria.  Through a lot of hard work, commitment and early morning flights, Jack achieved his first solo last month.  His instructor is Tristan Kent.  Congratulations Jack!


Please Arrive On Time (or Early!)

      Please be punctual for your lessons.  If possible, plan to arrive about ten to fifteen minutes early for each lesson so you can start the pre-flight if your airplane is available.  If you are scheduled for the 8 or 9:30 AM block, try to arrive early to ensure that you have sufficient time to preflight and (if needed) preheat the airplane. 


Cameras

     Cameras are not allowed to be mounted to the outside of the planes unless approved by an aviation mechanic at your own expense.  You can bring cameras inside the planes and take as many pictures or videos as you would like as long as you are being safe!


Winter Flying Tip: Clothing

     Winter weather necessitates appropriate and essential clothing!  Be sure to throw a pair of warm gloves and a warm hat in your flight bag for those chilly preflight inspections.   None of us enjoy preflighting an aircraft in the bitter cold, but remember that a thorough preflight inspection is essential to safety and demands attention!


Check Your Currency!


     It is a good time to make sure all of your documents are current.  Licensed Pilots, make sure you are up to date on your BFR and your medical.  Student Pilots, check that your 90 day solo sign-off is current!


Threat Of Contract Tower Closures!


     The Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is pushing FAA to eliminate half of the control towers in the FAA contract tower program. OMB is pushing FAA to eliminate funding for airports in the program that serve exclusively GA operations.  Funding would only be preserved for contract towers with scheduled commercial air service or 10,000 annual military ops. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! If this happens we could lose our BVY contract tower. Please, right away, contact Senators John Kerry and Scott Brown and Rep. Tierney and let them know how this proposal will compromise safety and eliminate jobs. Urge them to oppose the cuts!!!
