This pilot education meeting will have three components.  First, CFII Scott Thompson will give a talk for both IFR and VFR pilots on the functioning of Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights and how they contribute to improved landing safety.

Next, we will have two “What Would You Do?” problem-solving scenarios. The IMC scenario is a flight that involves a VFR departure and an attempt to pick up an IFR clearance enroute which encounters difficulties. The VMC scenario involves a VFR departure at near gross weight from a short runway, where functioning of the flaps is not normal.

Fly safe!

On Saturday, September 14th, we will be having our Second Saturday Pancake Breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the EAA hangar, S-12 at the Lincoln Regional Airport. If you are not familiar with the airport, navigate to Flight Line Drive and follow the “EAA” signs. All are welcome.

We’ll be cooking pancakes, eggs, and other good stuff from 8:00 am to 9:30 am when the grill shuts down, so come early. Breakfast is $10.00 per person, $5.00 per youth under 17, or $25.00 per family. We’ll also happily renew your chapter dues for 2024. Cost is $30 for individuals or families. We’ll have our flight simulators up and running and attended to help you or your kids take flight.

At 9:30 we will have a presentation entitled “Go Fast, Turn Left. Flying the 2024 EAA AirVenture Cup Race” by chapter member Mark Rieger, who is going to fly his personally hand crafted Cozy Mark IV race plane in for all to see, and tell us about his experience as a rookie race pilot at Oshkosh 2024.  (Spoiler Alert: Top Five finish!)

This will be followed at 10:30 by a Build and Fly RC model building session.

Big fun is in store.  Hope to see you there!
