November 2019

Seasons Greetings to all of our W10 friends and family!
We hope everyone closes the year out full of happiness and joy.  Safe travels for all of our friends who are traveling and if you are sticking around, may you stay nice and cozy. 

Saturday Social
Our monthly Saturday Social is happening this weekend at The Muk.  Join us at 10am this Saturday, December 7th for some coffee and breakfast with fellow aviation enthusiasts.  

Private Pilot Ground School
Our first session of Ground School has ended.  Best of luck to everyone taking the official written exam.  Another session is likely to begin after the holidays.  We will let you all know when that will be officially starting up.  If you have any questions about ground school please contact Dave Bennett at [email protected] or Tara or Sky Rudolph at W10 via email at [email protected] or call us at 360-321-0510. 
 
Tuesday Talks
Need a refresher or still never quite understood aspects of things a pilot should know?  Dave has graciously agreed to hold classroom sessions to go over subjects like airspace, weather, navigation and flight planning, airplane systems, aerodynamics, radio procedures, weight and balance, safety, predicting performance, etc.  The current plan is to hold it on every other Tuesday evening.  We are in the beginning of this plan so feel free to send us your thoughts and ideas.  

Taxiway Talks
Thanks to Fred Lundahl, our second Taxiway Talk on "Flying to Canada" was a success with much knowledge shared.  

Our third and fourth Taxiway Talks are in the makings so stay tuned and we'll let you know the topic and dates/times as soon as they are finalized.

Instructor's Corner
We would like to give our local instructors a platform to post information or articles that they feel is worth sharing that enhances the aviation experience.
This month's contribution comes from Dave Bennett, AGI.  Dave has put together a fantastic summary of airspace.  If you still have any questions, let Dave ([email protected]) know as we have had some incredible discussions related to air space during this past session of ground school.  Follow the link to get to "Know Your Space".

Hangar Survey
Many thanks to everyone that responded to our survey regarding hangar space at W10.  As we suspected there is definitely an interest and need for more hangar space at W10.  We will continue to pursue and move forward with trying to meet this need.  We will be trying to get in touch with those that were already on the waiting list but did not respond to the survey to verify whether there is still an interest.   If you didn't get the chance to fill out the survey but would like to verify your position or get added to the waiting list then just let us know. 

W10 Swag
Need some Christmas swag for that pilot in the family.  Currently there are Cinch Bags ($15) and W10 oval stickers ($5) available so you can represent your favorite little airport in the woods.  All proceeds go towards the airport to help with maintenance and improvement projects.  

Stay warm and safe out there-
Blue Skies!
