ANNUAL PILOT REMINDERS

 

 

 

The birds have finished their courting, have paired up and started building their nests. This reminder is not only for airplanes parked outside, those parked in hangars are fair game to the new parents-to-be to find a safe out-of-the-way, protected area for their babies. Check your cowlings carefully!!!!!

 

 

 

 

While you are checking your cowling, watch where your feet are. This friendly little guy was found a couple of years ago in a hangar in one of the Mid-North rows.

 

 

With the weather peaking out in the 80s, the wild life around Cable is waking up from their not-too-long of a winter’s nap, and will be exploring their territories.

Nazzi Harani and “Su Su” crashed into a hangar at Stellar Airpark in Chandler, AZ, March 11. He was killed and the P-51D was completely destroyed in the crash.

 

Most Cableites know Nazzi as the pilot of the neat P-51 that has flown in our airshows for the past two years.  He also has participated in the fly-ins that have been co-hosted by Mike and Terri Polley and Terry Freedman. Those who have had the opportunity to meet Nazzi have all felt honored to have known him.

 

A very nice man and a beautifully restored P-51D have Gone West.

Paper Pilot Certificates Expired March 31, 2010

Question: I know that the FAA is requiring us to replace our paper pilot certificates with plastic ones. If I don’t receive my new plastic pilot certificate by March 31, may I still fly using my old paper certificate?

 

Answer: Pilots cannot exercise the privileges of their PAPER pilot certificates after March 31, 2010.

Certificates issued under 14 CFR Part 63 and 65 will expire March 31, 2013.

 

FAR 61.19(h) reads:

Duration of pilot certificates. Except for a temporary certificate issued under §61.17 or a student pilot certificate issued under paragraph (b) of this section, the holder of a paper pilot certificate issued under this part may not exercise the privileges of that certificate after March 31, 2010.
