In this video the FAA’s Safety Team demonstrates common mistakes flying out of Hanscom. Thank you Karen Daneu for suggesting putting this video on the website!

Steve provides updates about the hangar door project, airplane status, and upcoming private pilot ground school / instrument ground school in 2022. Nate reviews power loss during takeoff emergency procedures, including an ASI video of “The Impossible Turn.”

The slides for the safety brief content are here:

Unfortunately this one had to be virtual, thanks in advance for your understanding.

AFHQ asked us to review Duty Day, Fatigue, and Circadian Rhythm Disruption with all club members.

If you need help getting to sleep, please feel free to read the attached Safety-Gram material. Otherwise, we boiled it down for you in the video. The charts from the talk are also included here.

Steve discusses some trends across USAF Aero Clubs in particular due to an uptick in accidents over the past 12 months, and things we should be mindful of while flying as club members. Some of these topics will be revisited throughout the year.

Welcome back!

Unfortunately, Steve was out recovering from an injury, and due to some technical difficulties with the projector, Steve’s virtual presence was limited to my laptop screen.

After Steve spoke, I did my best to explain in-person the contents of the new required Annual Fire Safety training video, as well as an updated refueling procedures video (since the previous one has been misplaced).

The videos do a much better job, tan I did live, so please watch/listen to Steve’s announcements, then watch the Annual Fire Safety training video and Refueling videos on the website.

Tal reviews Avidyne functionality with some tips that aren’t necessarily obvious from the manual. Thanks Tal!
