of anyone who is in need of hay, please send them our way. We also are
looking for someone to take over the job of baling the hay at the
airport. If you know of someone who bales hay please send them our way

RECURRENT TRAINING
I’ve just recently returned from recurrent training that I am
required to perform each year. If you’re anything like me it’s a major
event. Not only are you forced to travel and be away from your family,
but the training is very stressful!
The instructors at these schools really
put you thru the paces. How many times in the airplane do you
experience flying around on one engine that’s on fire, a gyro that has
just failed and an inverter that just gave up as well!!!
It’s probably also a given that this all
happened while you’re shooting an approach to minimums or you’ve just
been informed that the runway you were landing on just closed and
you’ll be forced to circle to another runway!!! Whew!
I tell this story to raise the question
of training. Most of us are not forced to endure this type of training
each year. Most of us fly smaller aircraft that do not require
recurrent training, little alone training in a simulator.
As pilots of single or multi-engine
aircraft it is imperative that we continue to train each year to
maintain our currency and our skills in our aircraft. Each of us
should participate in the FAA Wings program; train periodically with a
CFI or at the very least fly with a safety pilot.
We should all strive to not only maintain
our skills but improve upon them yearly. Give your CFI a call today
and schedule a bi-annual flight review or an instrument proficiency
check. Get out of your comfort zone just a little bit. You’ll be a
safer pilot for putting forth the effort.
