If you came to 39N on Sept. 23, you would have thought you were in a foreign country as the airport had a full regalia of security, well armed.

 

The Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, gave a speech at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs entitled, "Building Global Peace".

 

First the escort helicopter arrived, a Sikorsky 76.  Then he arrived in a Sikorsky 92.  Awaiting on the ground and all over the airport property were security from federal, state, county and local law enforcement, alongside of Turkish security.  

 

After years of fighting with the AT-610, we have finally decided to replace it with a modern simulator, TOP ELITE BASIC ATD.  It will be available for:
       2.5 hrs.  - Private
     10.0 hrs. - Instrument
       6 instrument approaches
      Pilot Proficiency Program

No matter the weather, we can earn hours on this FAA approved computer base simulator.  It should be up and running by the end of the month.

I remember a safety poster that proclaimed, "Complacency Kills".  Complacency, as defined by Webster, is "pleased with oneself, self satisfied".

This feeling of pleasure, satisfaction while flying an airplane has two sides.  The quiet pleasure that can be gotten from flying can also distract you from consciously attending to the details of flying.  Attention to detail is critical to the safe outcome of each flight. Altitude control, maintaining heading, radio monitoring, and thinking and planning ahead must all be dealt with deliberately and consciously.

Do not let yourself be lulled into thinking that you can fly without being vigilant, all of the time, of all the tasks necessary for complete aircraft control.
