Advice from Chesapeake Gustin Flight Instructor, Savannah Aviation "Perhaps the most important part of flying is something that's often overlooked from the very beginning and that's the preflight inspection. Without a thorough check of your aircraft (and yourself as pilot in command), you could be setting yourself up for disaster before you even leave the ground. Clink the link below on how to do a proper preflight of you and your aircraft."... https://www.aopa.org//presolo/skills/how-to-pre-flight-an-

This month in Aviation History, the first operational Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, RB-52B-15-BO 52-8711, was delivered to the 93rd Bombardment Wing, Heavy, at Castle Air Force Base, Merced, California on 29 June 1955. The new long-range heavy bomber would replace the 93rd’s Boeing B-47 Stratojets and begin an era of strategic bombing capability unparalleled in our nation's history.

A flight school is only as good as the air frame & power-plant mechanics, aviation technicians, and administrative support personnel who work tirelessly to keep our rental and flight training fleet ready for our customers. Fortunately for us, Savannah is lucky enough to have a nearby accredited technical college to teach students the various skills in aircraft maintenance. Whether a recent graduate or still working on their certificates, Savannah Aviation is willing and able to bring them aboard as employees to learn the finer points of general aviation maintenance.

Advice from Alex Dorsey: Certified Flight Instructor, Savannah Aviation While I love to see checklist usage in the cockpit, I think it’s also important to establish a flow to ensure nothing gets missed during the flight. In the early stages of flight training, the checklist should be used almost exclusively in order to establish this flow. What I love to see in my students as they progress through flight training is their flow become more and more efficient, to where a checklist becomes more of a done list.

As safety-minded pilots we need to make conservative decisions for the best chance of a positive outcome. In this case study, we share lessons drawn from this pilot's unfortunate decisions during a vacuum pump failure in instrument meteorological conditions. Take this opportunity to boost your awareness of critical and proper decision making in an emergency.

Beginning in WWII, the aviation industry and military began to recognize the importance of voluntary safety reporting to prevent future incidents and accidents. The FAA asked NASA, an independent organization without regulatory or enforcement authority, to act as the third-party in the program. The FAA also asked NASA to design a modified incident reporting program and to take over responsibility for the receipt, processing, analysis, and de-identification of aviation incident reports.

Summer flying season is here, bringing with it clear skies and warm, sunny days. But summer is also the peak season for an often overlooked but serious flight hazard: dehydration. Contrary to popular belief, the feeling of thirst is not the best indicator of dehydration. Health experts say that by the time you feel thirsty, you might already be in the throes of dehydration. Left untreated, dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness, muscle cramps, nausea, and disorientation. Click the link to learn some helpful tips to prevent dehydration when flying during the hot summer months. https://www.faa.gov//airma/topics_of_interest/dehydration/

As members of the general aviation community we all must help ensure the safety and security of our airports and aircraft. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has taken the lead to create a TSA Security Awareness course offering practical guidance to limit opportunities for criminals or potential terrorists seeking access to general aviation aircraft at airports, flight schools, and FBOs. Click the link to start your training and select one of four custom tracks (flight schools, aircraft owners, renter pilots, and FBOs and flying clubs) to fit the individual training needs that is right for you! https://www.aopa.org//online-cou/general-aviation-security

This week begins the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane season and meteorologists are predicting a busy few months ahead.
