Rusty Pilot Program at KSBM
On May 20, 2017, the Rusty Pilot’s Program was presented by Andy Miller, the Great Lakes Ambassador of AOPA. Twenty pilots and students attended the program and received 3 hours of ground instruction required by flight review 14 CFR 61.56(a)(1). A number of topics were presented including Statistics, Pre-flight, BasicMed, Airworthy requirements, Weather and Airspace. Questions were answered as the program progressed. It was pointed out that over half of all registered pilots are presently not flying as the PIC. With this in mind, the “rule of thumb” is for every 5 years, a pilot has not flown, 1 hour of training is needed. A flight review 14 CFR 61.56(a)(1), not a check ride, would be every two years. Certain documents are on the pre-flight check list: Plastic Pilot Certificate, Gov’t issued photo ID, Medical Certificate (if required) and currency requirements (logbook). If you have your Social Security number on your Certificate, contact the FAA for a new Certificate. The information is public record and can be viewed by others. On May 1, 2017, the FAA passed BasicMed adding a choice for pilots to receive physicals and clearance to continue flight. To qualify for BasicMed one must:
• possess a 3rd Class Medical within the past ten years • acquire a one-time FAA 3rd Class Medical if first time pilot • be examined by state-qualified physician once every four years • complete the on-line course for Aeromedical Factors every two years • meet the compliance requirement with 14 CFR 61.53
It is recommended to have an eye exam before the physician’s exam and to download the AOPA form/checklist to take to the physician. The Aircraft Airworthiness Requirements are as follows: Airworthiness Certificate Registration Certificate (Federal and State) Radio Station License Operating Handbook (manual) Weight and Balance (current) The PIC is responsible for the Airworthiness of the Aircraft. As the saying goes, “Trust but Verify”. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 EAA Chapter 766 Newsletter www.766.eaachapter.org
Weather conditions are critical to any flight. Pilots call 1-800-WX-BRIEF or go on-line to 1800wxbrief.com or dvats.com for weather reports. Aviationweather.gov includes an icing tool which is extremely helpful. Electronic Flight Bags or EFB (ie. iPads) are becoming more popular for downloading the updates to give the latest weather. Another advantage of the EFB is for charting. It was noted that paper charts will become obsolete or cost prohibitive in the future. METAR is a format for reporting weather information. This is a standard used in 129 countries. The information can be coded or de-coded. It is easy to see wind change and saturation. TAF is another format for reporting weather information. It is issued every six hours for major civil airfields and generally applies to a 24 or 30-hour period. MOS (Model Output Statistics) and DISC (Discussion) are other helpful tools that incorporate surface analysis charts (12 & 24-hour forecasts). The Airspaces were also discussed. It was noted that communication between the ATC and the PIC is crucial. The Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is essential for weather, runways, approaches and other information such as NOTAMs. NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) and TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) were also discussed. Please note that ”Line Up and Wait” has replaced “Position and Hold”.
