If you’ve ever thought it would be fun to fun to run an airport, think of what it’s like to run one in this Arctic weather? We have acquired some wonderful equipment to be able to handle snow, however even the newest of equipment fails in zero degrees.
Airport Manager Ken Nierenberg and his son Jack have been plowing during the night to assure we’re open as soon as possible. But this year is challenging for everything and everyone.
If you’re a student, your training has been adversely affected, but we are flying.
The frigid weather has also delayed the final tweaks for the fuel tanks, but they’ll be totally functioning shortly.

Want to Fly – We’ll make it happen!
After these many, many years of running an airport in all kinds of weather, we know how to get you into the air. Yes, we are flying. When snow is predicted, we put as many airplanes into the hangar as possible. We have preheaters and trained personnel ready when you’re ready to go flying.ATTENTION AIRPLANE OWNERS: If you need to be plowed out, please call Front Desk at 609-921-3100 and we’ll get to you as soon as possible. If you have a trip planned and need to go, let us know as we can put some priority on it.If you need a preheat, contact us and we’ll get to you as soon as possible.

From the Right Seat
by Assistant Chief Pilot Peter Rafle
The use of paper charts is still a part of training pilots, despite the growing use and dependence on GPS devices. FAR 61.93 states the student pilot must receive and log flight training in ” Use of aeronautical charts for VFR navigation using pilotage and dead reckoning with the aid of a magnetic compass.” By the way, 61.93 states this requirement for student pilots of all types of aircraft (helicopter, gyroplane, powered lift, glider, airship, and powered parachute). Let’s go through a quick review of how to use charts for navigation without reference to GPS.

Attention All Renters:
Cessna Skyhawk, N5338N, is getting an upgrade on the avionics. A new Garmin GTX 330 has been installed. This puts out mode S and traffic will be audio and displayed on the GNS 430W. Check it out. |
COMING SOON! 
We will shortly have access to a full motion Red Wing simulator. Remember you can log 2.5 hours for the Private; 15 hours for the Instrument; and 50 hours for the Commercial license.
It will have the following airplanes:
Cessna 172 with G1000
Cessna 172 with Garmin 430 or 530
Cessna 172RG
We’re anticipating two different twin engine airplanes.
Watch for an email when it’s available.
