אגרת מה-FAA
באגרת שאני מקבל מה-FAA ישנם כמה טיפים לטיסה בעונת החורף. לא כולם ישימים לנו (בייחוד אלו המדברים על שלג....) אך יש כמה שעשויים לעזור...: You can qualify for your WINGS if you bring your completed logbook or completed Pilot Proficiency Award Record (WINGS Card) showing three hours of dual in the last twelve months. To learn more about WINGS see the FSDO website at http://aea.faa.gov/aea200/ea23/spm2/wings_pr.htm. Winter Operations With the change in season approaching rapidly, the Rochester Safety Program Office would like to offer the following safety tips: If your aircraft´s battery is dead, do not hand prop the aircraft. Have the battery serviced or use external power. Hand propping an aircraft is very dangerous. Flight instruments need extra time to spin up when they are cold. Be sure the cockpit is warmed up and gyros are up to speed before takeoff. Take blustery winter headwinds into account, especially if flying westbound, when planning for fuel requirements. Also, check wind direction and speed at your destination and be sure it is within the aircraft´s and your crosswind capability. During engine start be cautious about over priming your engine. Have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency. Pre-heating is the safest way to winter starts and it is easier on the engine. After a snowfall, remember that the landscape will no longer look like the VFR sectional chart. Many landmarks will most likely be snow covered. Check with your destination airport for snow cover and removal operations. Airport surface conditions can change quickly with fast moving winter weather and the latest information may not be in the NOTAMS. Dress for survival when you fly this time of year. Also, pack a winter survival kit. אריאל אריאלי
