IMC+VMC club meeting this Thursday at 7 pm

Our monthly IMC+VMC club meeting will be held online from 7 to 8 pm this coming Thursday, February 3rd. The special topic will be what to do if you lose sight of the airport while circling to land. The “What Would You Do?” scenario is a winter time VFR flight where ceilings don’t match the forecast, and your iPad is telling you that you need to do something.

FAA Wings credit is available for this event by clicking here.

We hope you will be able to participate and join in the discussion.

The Lincoln Regional Display Day This Saturday, January 15th

Lincoln Regional Airport Display Day will be held this Saturday, January 15th, at KLHM from 08:00 – 12:00.

The weather is going to be cloudy and cool with a temperature of 39 and a high of 60 and 3% chance of rain.

For your “Aircraft of Historical Significance” to earn a display day, it must be displayed for a four hour period, so our display day begins at 0800 and ends at 1200 hours at LHM. So dust off your bird, bring it out for display, and don’t forget to get your paperwork signed.

The Display Day effort continues to need your help. Without it they are going to have to shut it down. So if you would like to see it continue, you need to volunteer and become a coordinator team member and help run it. Please consider helping (especially those who directly benefit from the tax exemption). They will be talking to each of you this weekend to answer any questions you might have.

See you at the airport on Saturday!

IMC/VMC club meeting this coming Thursday 1/6

Happy New Year! Our first chapter event of 2022 will be our monthly IMC/VMC club online meeting, from 7 to 8 pm on Thursday, January 6th.

Our special topic will be the current status and future of VOR-based navigation. Though we’ve all become accustomed to using GPS for inflight guidance, we know it can be subject to disruptions. CFII Scott Thompson will discuss how the FAA intends to provide a usable ground-based alternative to GPS nationwide into the future. The VMC portion of our meeting will be a “What Would You Do?” scenario of a VFR night flight that encounters unforecast snow.

FAA wings credit for this event is available by registering here.

How to fly the San Francisco Bay Tour

Topic: How to communicate with ATC and navigate the busy San Francisco Class Bravo airspace.
On Saturday, January 15, 2022 at 10:00 Pacific Standard Time (11:00 MST, 12:00 CST, 13:00 EST, 08:00 HST, 09:00 AKST, 11:00 Arizona, 18:00 GMT)

Select Number:
WP15109437

Description:
The San Francisco Bay Tour is one of the most exciting flights you can experience with stunning views of Silicon Valley, Stanford campus, Downtown San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, Crystal Springs, and the Pacific Coastline. The views are absolutely breathtaking!

But the challenge is to navigate the busy San Francisco Airspace and communicate with the fast-talking, no-nonsense ATC. With multiple transitions routes and IFR departures and arrivals at SFO International Airport, the interlocking “Bravo,” “Charlie,” and “Delta” airspace can be very intimidating.

Whether you are a 10,000 hour Airline Pilot or a newly minted Private Pilot, flying the San Francisco Bay Tour is a special treat! Join us for an in-depth discussion on how you can safely fly and enjoy the San Francisco Bay Tour while navigating one of America’s busiest airspace.

Key topics:

  • How to request a Bay Tour with ATC
  • Why you might want to use VFR flight following vs. going in “blind”
  • How to plan and use the VFR transitions routes to your advantage
  • What to expect from each VFR transition route
  • How to perform a “Tower-to-Tower” transition
  • What you can expect from ATC while flying over the San Francisco Bay
