Your POH lists various V speeds, but did you know they are all based on gross weight?
Do you always depart and land at gross weight?

18. Pro Tips for VFR Pilots - VFR Mastery: Lessons from Pilot Errors to Elevate Your General Aviation Skills - Saturday, January 18, 2025, starting at 10:00 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): CFI Joe Biviano - As we accumulate flight time, we gain experience. This improves our skills. We also gain experience from making mistakes, having close calls, surviving dangerous situations and yes, by making good decisions too. Although it often comes at a price, this process of learning refines our skills. This presentation will help you improve your skills at a reduced price. CFI Joe Biviano has paid the price at several levels over the last 57 years of flying, making mistakes that led to both positive and negative outcomes. Join the pilots of the Bakersfield Flying Club as Joe recounts his experiences to help you learn to become a safer pilot. - Location of Seminar: Bakersfield Flying Club, 1601 Skyway Dr., Suite 220, Bakersfield, CA 93308 - Registration Information: Click here to register online now!
18. How to Cross Check Instruments - Discussion of the Importance and Procedure of Cross Checking Instruments While Flying. - Saturday, January 18, 2025, starting at 10:00 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): Gary Wigdahl - The presentation will be a continuation of one I started the last time I spoke here when we ran out of time. No one ever seems to discuss what or how to cross check the instruments while flying. I had the rare privilege of receiving a one-on-one presentation on what it means to cross check properly while I was in the USAF,. I wish to share that with you today. - This presentation is for EAA chapter 14 members and invited guests only. - Location of Seminar:
Once a plane is slowed past the best glide speed and minimum drag speed, it takes *more* power to sustain flight at a level altitude at a slower airspeed. Induced drag increases exponentially as the plane gets slower, requiring greater pilot skill to maintain control. - To view further details and registration information for this webinar, click here.
Sometimes we argue it out - respectfully - and modify our plan of attack. The benefit is to think it through without the pressure of flying the plane. Pilots of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. - This month's topics include an icing scenario, a request from ATC to cancel IFR asap to allow another aircraft to depart the uncontrolled field you're on the approach for. - Click the link below for more information and to register TODAY. - Location of Seminar: Palomar Airport Administration Building 2198 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, CA 92011 - Registration Information: Click here to register online now!

Constantly assessing and improving the strength of all these areas keeps your safety net large enough and strong enough to catch you in the event that something doesn't go your way. Torrance-based FAASTeam Representative, CFI, and Student Pilot Advocate Gary Palmer will discuss methods you can use to enhance your safety net and keep it as strong as it can be. - Location of Seminar: Hangar 21 - 3815 W Commonwealth Ave, - Fullerton, CA 92833 - Registration Information: Click here to register online now!

Pilot Reports (PIREP) - A PIREP Is a Report of the Actual Weather Conditions as Encountered by an Aircraft in Flight, but What Do They Include? - Wednesday, January 29, 2025, starting at 19:00 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File - Speaker(s): Alan Marcum - Want to know what is actually happening up at altitude? The best way to get that is to hear from pilots who are up there. Pilot Reports (PiREPs) are a crucial part of the weather picture.

- Why make PiREPs
- When to make them
- How to give them
Alan will demonstrate the best ways to read and interpret them.
Alan Marcum, an instrument-rated private pilot, has been flying for over forty years and over 2,500 flight hours, and has delivered numerous FAA Safety Seminars on topics such as flying across the US and in-flight weather-based decision-making.
