Bari Burnside and long time member Bill "Doc" Mitchell celebrated birthdays. Doc is hitting 90 this year and we all wish we will have Docs health and desire when it is our turn to celebrate our 90th. Bari is somewhat younger but none of the members, except for husband Joe, know how long before she hits the big 90.</div>

This year CPA created a VFR Challenge. The idea was to fly to 6 airports without following the GPS's pink line. 3 members completed the challenge and received a special shirt designed by LAB Creations of Mansfield Pa. We are looking forward to the fun of flying to different airports as a club in the 2015 VFR Challenge.

The Canyon Pilots Association, based at the Wellsboro Johnston airport in Wellsboro Pa., hosted their annual Labor Day fly-in breakfast Aug. 31 2014. According to one source who has was involved in the original fly-in breakfast held at the airport, the breakfast has never been rained out in its 47 year history. Mother nature came close to challenging that record today. The pilots prevailed over the weather and served approx. 600 guests their famous buckwheat pancakes, eggs, ham and service with a smile.</div>

August, a high pressure system and a clear, calm day. What better conditions could exist for a Saturday afternoon flight? A Short wing Piper and a couple of Skyhawks from the Canyon Pilots Association made the trip from the Wellsboro Johnston Airport, N38, to the Cherry Ridge Airport near Honesdale Pa. Beside the flight itself, the $100. hamburger at the famous Cherry Ridge Airport was the goal and the airport was another airport checked off the list of the six airports in the Canyon Pilots Associations VFR 2014 Challenge. </div>

The airport and restaurant were oddly quiet for a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The only activity was a Flightstar SC departing as we arrived. </div>

We arrived, parked, noticed how quiet the airport was and headed for the Cafe. No wonder the place was quiet!! The hand written sign on the door said "Cafe Closed Due To Maintenance Aug. 9" As luck would have it they closed on one of the nicest flying days of the summer and they didn't even mention it in the NOTAM!! That is a major airport bummer and should have been in the darn NOTAM!!</div>

Cherry Ridge, N30, was an interesting place. It looks like it could be a busy place on any given day. There are a lot of planes hangared there. The hangar facilities were very old and in rough condition but they were full! An FBO on the field had two Warriors on the field with his logo on the tail which were obviously used in flight training. It looked like a step back in time.</div>

This 1959 Pacer was a pretty nice plane. Check out the hangar. It looks like a two man job to enter and exit this hangar. The doors as seen on the right were hinged and folded up to close that area but obviously have not been functional for a number of years.</div>

On the return flight to N38 we knocked out another airport in the Canyon Pilots VFR Challenge. This is the approach to 0PA3, Robbins Farm runway 17. This is a very nice private grass strip near Troy Pa. Thanks to CPA member Ron McClure for working with Mr. Robbins to allow this strip to be part of our VFR Challenge </div>

The annual Memorial Day fly-in breakfast may have been a record breaking day. The members of the pilots association, the Canyon Country Ultralight Club, family and friends or anyone else who could be talked into helping, served over 1200 breakfast. Serving four breakfasts per minute for four hours and having everyone leave with a smile is quite an accomplishment. Plane rides and helicopter rides got over 100 people in the air at the Wellsboro Johnston airport in Wellsboro Pa. N38 was a hot spot for aviation on this day!!</div>

Sun 'n fun has often been remembered by the weather for the week and the event took second fiddle. Not so in 2014. It was Chamber of Commerce weather all week. The crowds were up. The Blue Angels were back. Attendees were spending money and vendors were all smiles. Paradise City, once home of the ultralight community and a virtual waste of space for the past 5-6 years was alive again. A newly renovated grass airstrip supported ultralights, light sport airplanes, and gyros all at the same time!! 2014 may have been one of the best Sun 'n Fun events held in many years. The 2015 event will be held April 21-25. this is a good time to plan your visit to the annual spring break for pilots.</div>

We took a little side trip to Skydive Sebastian, in Sebastian Fl. for a tandem skydive. What a cool experience to free fall from 13,500 AGL. The instructor said "just slide to the door and hang your legs out of the plane as if you are sitting in a chair." RIGHT!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Please read the April 10th post for some background to this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well here is an update to some of the questions posted with regard to the current status of USUA, based on an email exchange with Roy Beisswenger, current President of USUA.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) There is a board of directors. They are Roy Beisswenger President, Jeff Goin Vice President, Skip Little Secretary, Vickie Betts Treasurer and director David Kantor. I am not sure if or when this board was elected by the membership at large or if it was simply self-appointed. I thank Roy for providing the list of names. Time will tell if elections for directors are held or if these folks will just continue to serve year after year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) I had asked Roy numerous times to provide the organizations annual financial statements with no success. Finally in Roy's last email reply he acknowledge that there are no annual financial statements, only a bank account and check register. He gave no indication of an account balance, or how many members pay dues each year. He did indicate that a big expense is maintaining USUA's membership to NAA and to FAI. FAI allows records and contests for US ultralight pilots to count internationally. Other expenses are phone, Internet and postage. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) Roy acts as USUA's voice to the FAA. I imagine the board gives him input on their opinions but I wonder why the membership at large lives in a USUA vacuum when it comes to giving input. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was nice to get some answers from USUA President Beisswenger. It is good there are some folks keeping USUA alive. Roy said "there is always an intent to do more, especially regarding advocacy and pilot services. Those things are now becoming a reality. The board has made other decisions that we are working to implement, but as volunteers we only have so much time to do things." To that I would say, Roy and USUA board thank you for your dedication. You have a national membership base, ask them to help. Empower them to help, after all it is their association too.</div>

AOPA.....Impression....general aviation, major player, member benefits, advocacy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
USUA.....Impression...ultralights, former national organization, former innovator, former advocate, still taking members money, one man show.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As stated in the first line of this post this opinion represents one USUA members opinion. I joined the ultralight world on in the early 2000's. USUA was "the name" to join and create a new club or member organization with if you had or were starting a new group of ultralight enthusiast's. I was part of a group of folks who did just that. USUA Club 203 was an enthusiastic group of guys who grew from nothing to becoming USUA Club of the Year in 2008. Then for some reason, unknown to Club 203, USUA fell on hard times. As time rolled on we were not sure USUA was even still a functional organization. One thing was for sure, our club wanted to make sure we supported USUA. As the time and years rolled on we kept paying dues and bought a subscription to Powered Sport Flying Magazine for our members. During this time the only USUA member benefit that appeared to be offered as a value to our members was a small discount on Third Party Insurance for members aircraft. The USUA website became and still is stagnant. Membership dues checks were cashed, club certificates that were always mailed out stopped. Members no longer received membership cards to provide to their insurance companies as proof of membership. USUA seemed to have dried up and disappeared. ENTER ROY BEISSWENGER!! I don't know where Roy came from with regard to USUA but hallelujah, USUA appeard to have a savior, a person that was known on the national stage and a advocate of ultralights. USUA appeared to be a train wreck but Roy was gonna save our organization. 20 ataboys to Roy!! We waited to see how Roy would recreate USUA. I called him and offered USUA club 203's help and support. He seemed appreciative, said to send him photos from our club, he would publish them in his mag. (by the way contacting him was a very long, difficult, pain in the ass process) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In summary, I think Roy means well with regard to USUA. He has taken the reigns of USUA with or without the memberships approval. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is my concern and what I feel should be every USUA members concern. I have asked Roy several times over the last year to provide the names of the USUA board of Directors and provide an annual financial reports that reflect where our dues have been spent. This is where the communication from Roy stops and my concern begins. I have asked Roy to provide this info to USUA club 203 several times. He will not provide this info and does not reply to these questions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is Roy Beisswenger using our dues to fund his pet projects? I doubt it but who the hell knows, he won't provide annual financial statements.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is Roy Beisswenger using the USUA name to place him on the natioanl stage at places like Sun 'N Fun and drive his own agenda home without membeship input? I doubt it, but who the hell knows? He will not tell us who is on his board and how they form opinions to represent USUA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Has USUA been hijacked by Roy Beisswenger to promote Roy Beisswengers agenda at the expense of the membership? Who the hell knows, but as time rolls on it appears that may be the the case.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sadly, I think I have paid my last USUA membership dues and as much as I like Powered Sport Flying Magazine, I don't think I will support Roy Beisswenger's magazine. I am sure he had great intentions but his lack of concern to keep USUA members informed, even when we asked, has given me the impression that Roy only wants to use USUA's name to promote Roy. Demand an answer from Roy, he cashes your checks.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Are you planning a trip to Sun 'N Fun in Lakeland this year? There are a lot of other neat aviation things to do in central Florida while you are there. Check out a few of them below:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Wallaby Ranch in nearby Davenport Fl. is a great place to spend some relaxing time. Get towed into the air on a tandem hanglider by an ultralight. Malcom and his crew are ready to show you a great time, take you up to a few thousand feet and cut you loose for a quiet ride back to the earth. Al Roker of the NBC Today show and thousands of others have made the trip to Wallaby Ranch. check it out www.wallaby.com</span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: left;">Another great place just a few miles south is Jack Browns Seaplane Base. There is not a better way to spend an hour or two than jumping in a J3 Cub on Floats and start lake hopping.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">You are flying in a tower-controlled airport pattern. You have just rolled out on a 2-mile final approach to Runway 26. Just as you do this, you hear Tower say to another airplane, “Cessna 9130 Delta, Runway 26, line up and wait.” As you look ahead to the runway, you see a Cessna 172 roll out onto the runway, turn the corner, point down the length of the runway and stop.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
You are now on about a mile and quarter final when you hear Tower clear that airplane for takeoff. That airplane begins its takeoff roll. You are on a three-quarter mile final when you hear the pilot of that other airplane say, “Cessna 9130 Delta is aborting. I’ll be stopping on the runway.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Here’s your questions. First, what do you expect Tower to say to you after acknowledging that other pilot? Second, what do you say in reply; and then what do you do?</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.158em; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Answers:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
1. After acknowledging the radio call from the pilot making the aborted takeoff, Tower will say your call sign and then either, “Cancel your landing clearance,” or, “Go around.” Tower will then add the reason for the clearance, such as, “Traffic will be stopping on the runway.” Tower may or may not instruct you to offset to one side of the runway to avoid overflying the aircraft or emergency vehicles on the runway.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
2. Your reply in this situation should be, your call sign, plus “Going around.” If Tower gives you additional instructions, such as, “Fly runway heading,” or, “Do not overfly the runway,” you should repeat those instructions as well.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px;">3. First, maintain aircraft control. Initiate your go-around. When you have your airplane safely climbing away from the ground and you have begun to execute any special instructions issued by Tower, only then make your reply to Tower on the radio. Never sacrifice aircraft control, or delay your go-around maneuver in order to make a radio call.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
You are 10 miles outside of Class D airspace. You are planning to enter the airport traffic pattern for landing. You switch to the control tower’s frequency, but just as you are about to transmit, you hear the noise of an aircraft interior playing continuously through your aircraft’s speaker. It sounds like someone is holding down the transmit key of his microphone. You wait a minute, but the problem continues and there’s no way of knowing how long it is going to last. You really need to land at this airport, preferring not to divert elsewhere. What do you do?</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.158em; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Answer:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
You need to get in touch with Tower, but the tower frequency is jammed. The solution is to move to another ATC frequency that works and use the controller on the working frequency as a communication relay to the tower controller. The controller acting as a relay will most likely not offer instructions for landing at the airport. The relay controller will be able to contact the tower controller and get an alternate plan of communication established.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Who you contact to act as a relay depends on where you are flying. Most airport towers have two positions. The local controller mans the radio used to control traffic in the airport traffic pattern and traffic on the airport runways. Pilots refer to the local controller as “Tower.” The ground controller is the other primary position in the tower. Since the ground controller usually stands right next to the local controller in the tower, he makes a pretty good relay.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
If Tower’s frequency is jammed, I suggest switching to Ground’s frequency and tell the controller there is a stuck mic on Tower’s frequency. Ask Ground what to do. All Ground needs to do to relay your problem to the local controller is turn towards the guy standing next to him and say, “Pilots are calling me with reports of a stuck mic on your frequency. What do you want me to tell them to do.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
The local controller will probably tell Ground to relay an alternate frequency pilots should use to contact Tower. Although they aren’t always published, most airport towers have a secondary frequency they can use when the primary goes down for any reason.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
If you happen to be working in Class C airspace with an approach controller, when Tower’s frequency becomes jammed your best bet is to switch back to Approach Control. Ask the approach controller for the revised communication plan with Tower.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.0049991607666px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
In all cases, I would recommend remaining clear of the airport traffic pattern until you are able to make contact with Tower on some frequency. Since many other pilots will likely be in the same situation, you can expect the airspace just outside of Class D to start filling up with airplanes awaiting contact with Tower. Clear for other traffic as you work your way through the problem. A jammed radio frequency is insignificant compared with a midair collision. Remember your priorities and you will be fine.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">ATC Q & A</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i style="font-weight: bold;">The following ATC questions and answers are from the podcast and website <a href="http://www.atccommunications.com/"> www.atccommunications.com</a> </i><b><i>This is a very informative web site and gives great insight into communicating with ATC, VFR and IFR. I am posting some VFR Q & A here. Check out Jeff Kanarish's web site for more info.</i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
You have just completed your engine run-up near the runway at an uncontrolled airport. You are holding short of the only runway for Hometown Airport. This airport has a published left traffic pattern for Runway Two and you are facing the left downwind as you prepare to enter the runway. Just as you are about to advance the throttle of your aircraft to take the runway you hear someone key his microphone and say on Unicom, “Hometown traffic, Aerostar 304 Uniform Mike, base leg, Runway Two, Hometown.” You scan the base leg and see nothing. You check the final approach path and see nothing. You check the downwind leg and see nothing. Here’s your question. Remembering there is only one runway at this airport, what would you do at this point?</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Answer:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Don’t move from your spot holding short of the runway for at least 2 minutes after you hear the Aerostar’s position report.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Explanation:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
When the Aeronautical Information Manual says you should not solicit airport traffic information from other pilots using the phrase “Any aircraft in the area, please advise,” the agency is saying you should not rely on other pilots to give you information about airport operations. There is a reason you should take that warning to heart. While all pilots are required to make timely and accurate position reports in an uncontrolled pattern, not all pilots make timely and accurate position reports.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
In this case, when the pilot of the Aerostar announced his position on base leg for Runway Two, he was not on the published base leg for the runway. If he is not on base leg, where exactly is he? You have visually cleared base leg, final, and the downwind, and he is not there. He is not where he thinks he is.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
He could be on base leg for landing in the opposite direction, in this case, Runway 20, instead of Runway 2. You should be able to see him if that is the case. He could be so disoriented that he has wound up on base leg for a runway at another airport. Don’t laugh. It happens all of the time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Here is what I would do in this situation. After making sure the parking brake was set on my aircraft, I’d turn around as far as possible in my seat. I would try to visually clear the right base leg for the runway even though this airport uses left traffic for Runway 2.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Even if, despite your best efforts, you cannot spot the Aerostar, that does not guarantee he isn’t about to land on your runway. He might be approaching the runway from your blind spot. I’d still wait 2 or 3 minutes until I entered the runway for departure. That would give the pilot of the Aerostar enough time to complete his approach and landing, (or go-around,) at whatever runway he thinks he is landing on. Give him ample time to get out of your way before you take the runway.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
A last word on the subject: While position reports from pilots operating in an uncontrolled airport pattern should help you build situational awareness, visually clearing for traffic is always mandatory. Visual clearing works in concert with auditory clearing to produce the most reliable data about airport traffic; and remember, some pilots may be operating in your traffic pattern without an onboard radio. Clear like your life depends on it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Update to this answer:</strong> A reader suggested this alternative. Consider contacting the pilot of the Aerostar and say something to the effect of, “Aerostar 304 Uniform Mike, this is [your callsign]. I’m holding short of Runway Two at Hometown Airport and I don’t have you in sight. Verify your runway and airport.” Your radio call to the other pilot might alert him he is attempting to land on the wrong runway or the wrong airport.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
I like this suggestion because the transmission you make to the other pilot is an advisory, not a directive. The whole point of making radio transmissions on Unicom is to update other pilots with information about your flight. In this case, you make a position report, “I’m holding short of Runway 2 at Hometown,” along with an advisory, “I don’t have you in sight.”</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>ATC Q&A</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The following ATC questions and answers are from the podcast and website<a href="http://www.atccommunications.com/"> www.atccommunications.com</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a very informative web site and gives great insight into communicating with ATC, VFR and IFR. I am posting some VFR Q & A here. Check out Jeff Kanarish's web site for more info.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Question:<span style="font-size: 15px;"> </span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
To provide traffic advisories and alerts, ATC has to know 3 important pieces of information about your aircraft.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
First, ATC needs to know who you are. This is your call sign, of course. Second, an air traffic controller needs to know where you are. Your position includes your aircraft’s location over the ground and your aircraft’s altitude. Third, ATC needs to know where you are going so the controller can project ahead to see if your flight path might conflict with another airplane’s flight path.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Once your aircraft is in radar contact, your aircraft’s identity and location will be updated each time the controller’s radar sweeps across your aircraft and interrogates your transponder. Your flight path is also tracked by radar so ATC can project where you are headed. Mode C on your transponder updates your altitude. When you switch from one controller to the next, your transponder ensures the new controller receives all of the same information provided to the previous controller. <b><i>Here comes your question: </i></b>If radar updates your aircraft’s identity, location and flight path, and your transponder’s Mode C reports your altitude to ATC, why does ATC require you check in with each new controller by stating your current altitude?</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1.267em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 22px; margin: 1.737em 0px 0.579em; padding: 0px;">
Answer:</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
When already established in radar contact with ATC, you do not have to state your current position over the ground when checking in with a new controller. Your current position is continuously displayed and updated by ATC’s radar system as long as you remain in radar contact. You do have to check in with your current altitude even though the new controller has your current altitude displaying on his radar display. Here’s why.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
Your transponder’s Mode C system always transmits altitude based on the standard altimeter setting of 29.92 (1013 Millibars in most countries outside of the U.S). Mode C has no idea what the local altimeter setting is where you are flying. Fortunately, when ATC’s radar system receives your transponder’s Mode C altitude readout, ATC’s system compensates for the difference between 29.92 and the current local altimeter setting before it displays your aircraft’s altitude on the controller’s radar screen. If you do not have the current local altimeter dialed into your cockpit’s altimeter, then you may be looking at one altitude readout in your cockpit and the controller may be looking at a different altitude readout for your aircraft on his radar display. Since ATC often separates aircraft using vertical spacing between aircraft, it is critical that both you and the controller agree on your current altitude.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">
If the altitude confirmation you give on the radio when you check in differs by more than 300 feet from what the controller sees on his radar display, the controller is going to first give you the local altimeter setting. If that does not fix the problem, he will note the error in Mode C reporting and may ask you to switch off Mode C on your transponder.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.467em; padding: 0px;">

Governor Tom Corbett made a swing through the Northern Tier on October 10, 2013. The Wellsboro Johnston airport was the backdrop for his visit. He had a chance to see first hand what a beautiful facility the airport is and how well it serves the region. Hopefully he will remember how well this airport served his needs on this day as the Airport Authority seeks to grow this facility for future of our region.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Fall is a special time in northcentral Pennsylvania and the region has been often called one of the most colorful places in the world due to the foilage changes. There are very few ways to appreciate the hills and valleys as they begin to change their colors than from the air. Several members of the Canyon Pilots Association, based in Wellsboro Pa, recently had that opportunity. What made the adventure even more special was the destination. The Eagles Mere Air Museum in Sullivan County Pennsylvania. It is a hidden jewel in aviation, both by its location and airfield but particularly by its collection of <strong><em>flying </em></strong>aircraft.</span></div>

Normally a 1942 Piper Cub is a fairly rare site. Normally it may be one of the oldest aircraft you see at an airport.......not at Eagles Mere!! This is one of their newest planes on display.</div>

The YouTube video link I'm sharing is of the <a href="http://youtu.be/Z1CKjHex7tM" target="_blank">trike landing</a>. It sort of reminded me of my ride at N38 with Tom Freeman several years ago in the back seat of his PPC. I thought I'd share my fun! <br />
<br />
PS: One of Bob & Lori Keech's graduates actually has a trike AND a SportStar S-LSA based at KLHV. <br />

Despite a morning that started with frost, winds gusting to 20 kts, the members of the Canyon Pilots Association and Canyon Country Ultralight Club served over 1000 breakfasts at its annual Memorial Day Sunday breakfast. Aircraft on display included War Birds, Ultralights, a glider and many GA and light sport aircraft. Proceeds help to provide scholarship funds and support airport operations. We thank the community for their continued support of our breakfasts!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">April 2013 Aviation Day at Wellsboro Johnston Airport N38</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Saturday April 20 was a day set aside to enjoy aviation at the Wellsboro Johnston Airport in Wellsboro Pa. The day before, Friday was a warm 74 degree day with a little rain. A cold front came through late Friday and set up a very different day for the event. 40 degrees, 25 knot steady wind and SNOW, yes SNOW. The day was set up for sky diving, live music, RC aircraft, ultralights, Civil Air Patrol Demos, and food by the Canyon Pilots. The public was invited and several folks bundled up and came to the airport. All in all it was a nice day considering the conditions. Below are a few photos of the day.</div>

Part of the activity for the CAP Cadets was to stash an ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) on the field and have them try to find it. After scouring the grounds they just found it in the back of this Tri Pacer located in a nearby hanger.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Once the Cadets located the ELT signal source they were briefed by their Commanding Officers on how they could have refined the process and shortened the process. It is comforting to know that there are dedicated CAP folks that will help find you in the event your aircraft goes down and someone needs to look for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sun N Fun 2013</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The annual Sun N Fun Fly In at Lakeland Fl. was held the second week of April 2013. There were some nice changes made to the area know as Paradise City, which was once an ultralight mecca. Over the past several years the ultralight community has seen a major downturn in the amount of aircraft and as a result Paradise City has been a virtual ghost town. Fast forward to 2013. Life in paradise City is back and I believe will be a growing community at future Sun N Fun events. The ultralights were joined by the LSA Mall and Choppertown. A new grass runway with friendlier approaches and a longer grass strip has been added. A new traffic pattern allows ultralight, LSA and rotorcraft to operate at the same time, and this year for the first time all day, even during the airshow!! There was two night airshows this year as well. Those who saw them said they were spectacular. For many years I have felt like this event was Mud and Fun. It appeared as though the parking area had many road upgrades which should help on those rainy days. I am sure there were other changes, but on my annual one day visit, I didn't notice a lot of other changes. The Air Force Thunderbirds were cancelled due to the sequester which was disappointing. I understand that Sun N Fun had to pay the ATC folks which cost them significant money that normally would go to their cause of aviation education for youth. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hang Gliding Discovery Flight at Wallaby Ranch</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Wallaby Ranch is located off a country road just off of I-4 in Davenport Florida, just a few miles from the Sun N Fun Campus in Lakeland and Kermit Weeks famous Fantasy of Flight. They specialize in hang gliding and promote a great family, club type atmosphere that draws hang gliders from all parts of the world. They tug everyone from hang gliding experts to students to those who just want a discovery flight to have the experience of flying a weight shift wing (with a lot of help from their experienced pilots) </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Malcom Jones, owner and founder of Wallaby Ranch (in green) has flown over 30,000 flights from the ranch. I had the opportunity of flying with Malcom. At 2,000 feet and just being released from the tug, Malcom said "this is my office. This is where I am every morning at 8:00". How horrible is that?!!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The tug or "aerotow" was a bar bones ultralight. I am not sure what the make was but it resembled a single seat Kolb type airframe. Malcom did say it was powered by a Rotax 582. We had a fairly strong head wind and a thin cloud layer at approx 1000'. The tug up was a little bumpy until we cleared the thin cloud layer. After we cleared that layer the air became smooth but a steady wind made forward progress negligible. We released the glider from the tug at approx 2000' AGL and began our descent. </div>

My "most experienced brother Terry" prepares to land with his instructor. Notice the BRS chute mounted on the airframe and tail wheel that keeps riders feet from becoming the first point of contact when landing.</div>

Brother Tim, slightly more experienced than me but not quite as experienced as brother Terry, and his instructor just after landing their wing! Even the instructor has a smile that can only come from enjoying what he just experienced, a view of our creation in a very beautiful part of the world and having just shared it with someone for the first time.</div>

After the flight(s) all flyers are welcomed to share breakfast. Malcom, his staff, customers and folks staying in cabins all gather to share a meal, stories and just enjoy their time and experience. It is a neat, unique atmosphere. For those of us who remember the "hippie era" there is a slight feeling of that life style, maybe a little more than a slight feeling.</div>

Brother Terry gets a ride back to the launch area, post flight, with the wing in tow. From the time you land until the next student is harnessed and towed into the air is less than 5 minutes. The gang at the ranch are very efficient and get as many people in the air as quickly and safely as possible. Conditions this day quickly deteriorated and the flights were stopped due to wind before everyone got a chance to fly. Safety is their first consideration.</div>

After the 2012 event at Sun N Fun I had a chance to fly a Piper Cub on floats at Jack Browns Sea Plane Base. That was a blast and something very memorable. This year I had the special opportunity to fly with my brothers at Wallaby Ranch in a hang glider. This will be a memory of a lifetime for sure. $175 bucks gets you an intro.flight and $30 bucks gets you a record of your flight on an SD card with video captured by a Go Pro camera. Next year during Sun N Fun week, my most experienced brother thinks we should sky dive. Well..........bring it on, but I am jumping last!!!</div>
