There have been several instances of violations, so be smart – ask for help if you’re not sure of the regulations and procedures.. Check out our completions for June – what a difference consistent good weather and longer daylight makes. Congratulations new pilots.

REVIEW OF RUSTY PILOT SEMINAR
On June 17, the Princeton Flying School hosted a seminar entitled Rusty Pilots. It is a seminar that is put on by the AOPA, free for members, as part of the Wings program. After the seminar, the attendees all received an endorsement from the speaker, Michael Gwinn for the ground portion of a Flight Review. — Not bad as a free-bee,
The seminar was attended by over 40 pilots, not all admitted to being rusty. The seminar was 3 hours of ground instruction, interactive and entertaining, toward completing the flight review, valuable take-home materials, and handouts were given for all to review what was learned. It felt like an overall, comprehensive, brush up on aviation knowledge and understanding what’s changed over the last couple of years.
We look forward to the next one.

From the Right Seat
Peter Rafle, Assistant Chief Pilot
Why do you fly? Each of us started our aviation life for different reasons. Over time those original ideas and motivations might have changed. I think it is a good practice to spend some time thinking about what aviation and flying, and just spending time around airplanes gives us. Think positively and honestly while making a list of what still feeds your passion for being in an airplane.
For example, is it the technology? Do you just like to know how machines operate and you like being a part of the machine? Is it opportunity to “get away” from the daily stresses of your earthbound life? Is it having and developing new skills and the learning new things? Is it that being a pilot is so different from what any of your relatives have ever done? Do you plan on being a professional pilot one day?

After the summer break, we’ll kick off the fall season with a dinner meeting on Wednesday, September 13th; details will be posted soon.
Mentioning September this early in the year may seem like rushing things, but PAFT members will take full advantage of the summer to add new destinations and return to old favorites. Guests are always welcome at PAFT events and dinners.
Don’t let the summer of ’17 go by without joining PAFT. You’ll really enjoy the friendship of other aviation enthusiasts at our fly-ins and dinner meetings (and dues are only $25 per family).
