SUMMARY:Women in Aviation @ SCFC July Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join SCFC Women in Aviation for a presentation about the demands of air ambulance flying.\n\n\nWe have invited Adele Dobler\, a helicopter air ambulance pilot to discuss how she manages the demands of flying helicopter in challenging environments.\n\nAdele has 17 years of experience flying in some of the most demanding environments in the world. Adele has flown across Canada\, Africa\, and now with London’s Air Ambulance\, where every shift means making clear decisions under pressure on someone’s worst day. She’s also the author of Free to Fly\, a powerful memoir about fear\, responsibility\, and learning to build confidence through action\, not waiting for it to magically appear.\n\n\nAny and all are welcome!

SUMMARY:Under the Cowling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:CFI Herb Patten is inviting ground school students for a closer look at airplane engines and systems\, including details of the fuel\, ignition\, induction and more in this in-person workshop. This is your chance to look “under the cowling” in a way that goes deeper than your common preflight inspection. \nAs a pilot\, you learn about airplane engines and systems from the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. That information is supplemented by details from your specific Airplane Flight Manual. So what more do you need to know? You crank the starter and everything works. But how does it work and how do the various systems such as the fuel\, induction\, and ignition work together to keep the engine flying? Ever wonder how the fuel flows from the tank to the cylinders? Or what happens when the air intake filter becomes blocked? Or what are the purposes of those tubes coming out of the bottom of the engine? \nThis in-person seminar will be conducted using a Cessna training plane with the engine cowling removed so you can get an up-close appreciation of the components of a typical\, small single-engine airplane. Space is limited so don’t delay in signing up for this unique experience. You will walk away with a new depth of knowledge that most pilots don’t have.
