Just Over 1 Month Away!!!
Last month’s
step was about calling 3 people who have attended the fly-ins
in the past and inviting them to join us in Athens (May
24 through May 29, 2010)
Step 10, Flight
Planning – For those of you flying to Athens, it’s
time to get familiar with your route of flight. Are your
sectionals up to date? How about your airport reference
guide? It’s important to have the most current information
for your trip. How about that GPS? Have you downloaded the
latest updates? What about your fuel stops? Will they have
fuel and what will it cost? There are several ways to check
online for the cheapest fuel prices along your route of
flight. Pick at least one alternate airport for each fuel
stop and check it’s fuel prices as well.
Those of you
who are VFR pilots, if you haven’t used Flight Following
before, it does improve safety and it enhances your communication
skills with ATC. I am VFR, and I use it on most of my cross
countries.
If you will
be driving to Athens, do you have current road maps, an
Atlas or a new GPS for your vehicle? If you already have
a GPS, is it loaded with the current updates?
The Old Timers
Fly-In is a little over a month away and I can’t wait
to see you there!
