    NORCAL Presentation

    Here is a live WINGS Safety Seminar on July 1 that we encourage you all to attend. Controllers from NORCAL will be here to give the ins and outs for your flying within the NORCAL airspace and how you can get the most out of them. ATC is a valuable resource we have in our flying and this is another great opportunity to get some first-hand information from the folks that make it happen. In addition, you get WINGS General Knowledge credit for attending (Create a WINGS account here www.faasafety.gov/Default.aspx). Space is limited so register soon! We hope to see you there!    https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=93108

    Hot days are coming!

    Summer is almost here as we head into the 90's for the next couple of days. These afternoons get hot out on the ramp and in flight. Chat with your instructor, look for those early flights, drink tons of water, and dress for the heat (preferably not in the outfit below). The aircraft feel it too! Get through your preflight, taxi, and run-up without delay! Make sure you have enough climb speed with the heat and higher density altitude and get up where the air is cooler to enjoy your flight!
