Our monthly chapter meeting for July will be an online Zoom this coming Wednesday, July 21st. We will begin with informal open mic “Hangar Chat” at 6:40 pm, and the meeting itself will begin at 7 pm.

In the best homebuilder traditions of EAA, our program entitled “A Homebuilt Heat Treatment Oven for Aluminum” will cover the underlying motivation for – and the construction, debugging, and troubleshooting of – a home-built oven for solution heat treatment of aluminum aircraft parts.

Our speaker is chapter member Mike Cencula, a mechanical engineer with roughly 30 years experience in mechanical design and analysis; failure analysis and reliability improvement; and project and team management. He has worked in the steel industry, industrial automation, and subsea robotics fields. He was trained in the US Naval Reserve as an Aircraft Structural Mechanic where he had the opportunity to work on aircraft such as the F-14 Tomcat, E-2C Hawkeye, A-7 Corsair, and EA-6B Prowler. Mike is currently building an RV-7A aircraft and maintains a builders’ log at http://www.our7a.com . He holds a private pilot license.

Oroville airport (KOVE) is having a fly-in on Sunday, with aircraft, cars, food, motorcycles, flying demos, food etc.

It’s even been mentioned in the local newspaper.

The monthly Display Day is Saturday June 19th at KLHM at the gazebo.

The face mask requirement has been lifted in California so you don’t have to wear one unless you want to.

Due to the State opening up again we are going to start the Saturday Morning Breakfasts again in Hangar S12 at the same time as the display day. Put your plane out for display, get your paperwork signed and come and have breakfast at the EAA Hangar.

Topic: ForeFlight offers a wealth of options for planning a flight, join us to see how to effectively plan using this tool.
On Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 19:00 Pacific Daylight Time (20:00 MDT, 21:00 CDT, 22:00 EDT, 16:00 HST, 18:00 AKDT, 19:00 Arizona, 02:00 GMT)

Description:
ForeFlight is a useful tool for many pilots as it provides a number of tools a pilot might need to plan a flight, obtain a weather briefing, and track their flight in real time. Living in a digital age, pilots should learn to use tools like this to enhance their overall flight planning process.

San Carlos Flight Center invites CFI Russell Bowerman and private pilot Brandan Dadoun to provide a walk-through of how they use ForeFlight to plan a cross-country flight. In this seminar, they will investigate what it takes to accurately plot checkpoints, calculate performance values, and ensure that you as the pilot are familiar with “all available information concerning a flight.” The presenters will start the session with a sample flight mission so that viewers/attendees can follow along in real-time using ForeFlight on their own device.

ForeFlight offers a wealth of features that can sometimes be overwhelming. We hope you will join us for this seminar to see a practical aspect of this app towards real-world flight planning.

Brandan Dadoun is a Private Pilot and SCFC’s Seminar Coordinator. He has completed the majority of his flight training at SCFC with over 200 flight hours and has extensive flying experience throughout all of California in both piston and turbine powered aircraft. He is actively involved within many aviation programs, and is currently pursuing his instrument rating. When he’s not flying, he enjoys playing the saxophone and staying active.

Russell Bowerman has always maintained an interest in aviation, visiting aviation museums, taking sightseeing flights, and staying up to date on all the newest fighter jets and airliners. After receiving his Private Pilot Certificate in 2018, he decided to make a career of it, attaining his Commercial and CFI ratings. Russell has been teaching and loving it ever since. Beyond flying, he really enjoys traveling and feels lucky to meet new people and learn about their diverse backgrounds in the process of flight training.

Our IMC club meeting for the month of June will be on a different day — Thursday June 3 rather than Wednesday this week. Our special topic, presented by CFII Scott Thompson, will be on Vertical Descent Angles as published on instrument approach plates. Our “What Would You Do?” will involve a night time instrument approach by a pilot who is getting very tired after a long day.

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

This online session will have information useful to all pilots, and all are invited to participate.

Topic: Flying the Bay Tour might seem simple, but it’s full of many complexities that pilots could overthink. Join us to fly safe.
On Wednesday, June 2, 2021 at 19:00 Pacific Daylight Time (20:00 MDT, 21:00 CDT, 22:00 EDT, 16:00 HST, 18:00 AKDT, 19:00 Arizona, 02:00 GMT)

Description:
Flying in the San Francisco Bay area is spectacular, a real privilege for local pilots. The Pacific Ocean, a dramatic coastline, beautiful hills, and many famous landmarks. As pilots, we are afforded a rare bird’s eye view that we long to share with our friends and family.

So what exactly is a “Bay Tour”? And, how was it affected by last year’s Bravo airspace changes? How did it affect the Bay Tour, and what new implementations will require pilots need to take to account? Founder of the SCFC Dan Dyer will examine the airspace, explain the “Bay Tour” and how a pilot can accomplish one in the safest, simplest, most enjoyable manner.

We’ll review the various overlapping airspaces in the area, the territories for each local ATC facility, and the routings most commonly used by Flight Center pilots and suggested by ATC. You’ll learn what options are available to you even if SQL ATIS has the phrase “San Francisco is not taking surface area transitions.”
If you are new to the Bay area, want to imagine the different sights you’ll see, or just want to improve your understanding of local airspace customs and procedures, please join us for this popular seminar.

Lukasz Zoromski has always been interested in aviation. Ever since going to Oshkosh Airventure as a kid, he got hooked on airplanes. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, he decided to make a career change away from a desk job and began flying with a goal to become a flight instructor. Now that he has achieved that goal, he strives to help new pilots achieve the same goals in a safe and fun way. New to the Bay Area, he is looking forward to flying in a new environment and meeting new people.
