                                                    Program for July  Meeting:  Food and Hanger talk.

   
              INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION PICNIC

          WITH THE ALBERT WHITTED AIRPORT

                       PRESERVATION SOCIETY

 

        We voted to have our picnic as our July meeting and we will merge with AWAPS for this

        event. You must RSVP and indicate what you plan to bring; either desert or salad   by

                                                  July 1st by phone  822-1532

                                  or email…awapsoffice@albertwhittedairport.org
 
    Terri writes that they will have most of the food available and we, each, are responsible for bringing some too.

    They will have burgers, hot dogs, buns, baked beans, watermelon and beverages.  We each need to bring a salad

    or dessert to share. Also, we need to bring chairs.

    Fireworks start about 9 pm so there is plenty of time before they start to eat, do some hanger flying, and have

    some good old American fun. Then, we can take our chairs out by the taxiway and watch the fireworks from this

    wonderful location. Leave any personal fireworks at home.

    This will be our official July meeting. There will not be a regular meeting on the third Monday. So, our next formal

    meeting will be on Monday, August 18th.  I do not have a program lined up for the August meeting. If you know of

    an interesting program, person, or activity, PLEASE let me know.

    Terri can use all the help she can get for this Independence Day picnic. Please let her know if you can help.

Notice to Pilots page 94 of the November 2006 edition of the EAA Sport Aviation Magazine.

During the control check having experience with flying gliders, I do a full deflection check of the controls for range, freedom of movement and proper deflection. On this day I turned the yoke on the 172RG fully to the right and pushed it full forward. When I tried to center the controls, the yoke wouldn't budge. The controls were jammed in that position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterward the flight mechanic found a screwdriver wedged between the aileron cable and pulley inside the right wing. The 172RG was fresh out of its 100-hour inspection.

What would happen if the controls in the plane you are flying  jammed during flight? I have noticed that pilots that I fly with and me included, do not include the full control defection procedure as part of preflight.
