Monadnock Aviation 

Keene, NH                                             July 14, 2016

Barbecue This Saturday
 
Burger, dogs, mac n' cheese and more this Saturday at Monadnock Aviation.  And then you can top it all off with The Flight Deck's make your own sundae bar.  Please join us. The feast commences at noon!
Introduction to Aerobatic Training        

Monadnock Aviation is thrilled to host Introductory Aerobatic Training at Keene on August 6th!  This offer is through a terrific partnership with East Coast Aero Club.
 
The cost for this Introduction to Aerobatics is $279 and will include a 30 minute briefing (approximately) and at least .7 hours in a Super Decathlon.

During the flight, you'll fly an aerobatic steep turn, loop, roll and a spin after an instructor demonstration of each.  For a rough idea of what to expect on the flight, here is a YouTube playlist of similar flights  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMcLv5jo11RccfPKPuCe4z_gRJVpcgf_C

Because the aircraft has to be within the aerobatic category weight and balance, the maximum pilot weight we can take is 225 lbs. 

We have one opening left for the day. Please email me if you would like to fill the last spot on the roster. 
Safety Seminar - Spins

Please join Monadnock Aviation and guest speaker Wes Liu on August 20th at 1:00PM for a seminar titled "Expanding Your Personal Flight Envelope - Spins". (The seminar will take place immediately following our monthly barbecue!)

Wes will thoroughly dissect the topic of spins:
  • What is a spin
  • Flight into spins
  • How not to spin
  • Video views of a spin from inside and outside the airplane
  • Spin recovery methods
  • Spins for fun and competition
You can register for our free seminar here through www.FAASafety.gov.  We are grateful to Wes Liu (International Aerobatic Club (IAC) Safety Coach, competitor and National Judge) for sharing his knowledge and experience with the pilots at Keene.
EAA Chapter Meeting

Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1314 meets the third Saturday of each month at 10:00AM in the terminal building at Keene.  If you are building a plane, or just interested in learning about the process, then please come this Saturday and have coffee and conversation with a great group of pilots!
Aerobatic Practice

The New England Aerobatic Club will hold a practice session at Keene, weather permitting, on August 6th.  Their practice box is in the southwest quadrant of the airport 1500'MSL to 5000' MSL.  The NOTAMs will reflect, depending on winds, right traffic for runway 02 or right traffic for runway 32 during the aerobatic activity.  In addition, expect no touch-and-go landings and no practice low approaches on runway 02 during the aerobatic activity.
 
AAC Meeting Friday                             
                              
Keene's Airport Advisory Commission (AAC) will meet Friday (July 15th).  This is a public meeting and all are welcome to attend.  The meeting is scheduled for 8:30AM in the terminal; click here to see the agenda (this may take a few seconds to load).  

Strange how we are waist deep in summer already.  If your plane needs summer a spruce up, please let me know.  We have a detailing shop which will come to the airfield to wash, wax, and buff new life into your paint.  

 

Thanks,
