SUMMARY:User Waypoints: an Under-Utilized Feature of ForeFlight
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nHave you ever flown over an interesting\, easily-identifiable visual landmark\, but look and discover it’s not on the VFR Chart?  ForeFlight\, the popular electronic flight tool for iPad\, has a solution. You can now select your own user-defined waypoints within the app\, allowing you to navigate more safely through complex airspace. \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites ATP and CFI Bob Leuten to explain the secrets of using user waypoints in ForeFlight.  The new feature is available in all versions of ForeFlight\, even the $100 per year “Basic Plus” version. Bob will show you how to easily add User Waypoints for various landmarks used in the traffic pattern at San Carlos Airport that are not already identified as ‘VP’ fixes. These include the AT&T Tower\, Kaiser Hospital\, Sunken Ship and ‘Abeam Hillsdale Shopping Center\,’ a key part of the new ‘Hillsdale Departure’ noise abatement procedure\, and many more.  In addition\, you will learn how to enter your own waypoints for home\, work or those used for your own custom “Bay Tour.” Once you master user waypoints on your iPad\, it’s an easy transition to enter a select few in your portable or panel-mounted GPS navigator for use with your autopilot. \n  \nWe encourage all aspiring and current ForeFlight users to attend this seminar.  If you are able to bring your own iPad to this session (loaded with the current version of ForeFlight)\, you will be able to practice (in real time) naming\, entering\, editing and deleting real examples of user waypoints.  If you can’t bring your iPad\, just follow along. We hope to see you there.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nBob Leuten is an Airline Transport Pilot (6\,000+ hours) and has been a Certified Flight Instructor (2\,000+ hours) for over 50 years. He is a recipient of the FAA Wright Brothers “Master Pilot” Award and is a former member of the staff here at SCFC. Bob flies a Super Decathlon and has over 40 years experience at the San Carlos Airport.\n\n\n  \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation thought safety\, community\, and adventure. AOPA has consistently recognized SCFC in their Best Flight School survey\, most recently in 2019 as a Distinguished Flight School. \nSCFC is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our regular safety seminars and guest speaker programs. Space is often limited so it is important to sign up early. SCFC members may choose to watch the seminar live over the web at home\, or recorded at a later date.

SUMMARY:A Walkthough of Aircraft Maintenance Logbooks
DESCRIPTION:**Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis\, this seminar will only be available for online viewing. IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.**  \nClick here to learn more about online viewing. \n  \n  \n\n\n\nAircraft records are significant for safety and legal reasons.  Maintenance and inspections are meticulously recorded in more aircraft logbooks\, such as airframe\, engine\, propeller\, and sometimes avionics.  Pilots need to understand the details of aircraft logbook entries to validate the airworthiness of the airplane before flight\, especially after the plane has returned from servicing. \nPreparing for a checkride is one instance where the pilot-in-command needs to know every piece of the aircraft’s airworthiness.  When was the last annual inspection? If 100-hour inspections are required\, when was the last 100 hour inspection done? Has the work been logged appropriately in the maintenance records.  Are all the airworthiness directives complied with? Being able to read and interpret maintenance logbook entries is the only way to confirm the aircraft is airworthy.. \nIn this seminar\, San Carlos Flight Center AGI James Sloan will examine the aircraft maintenance logbook entries and highlight what you need to pay attention to as a PIC.  James is an owner of two aircraft\, a pilot with over 500 hours\, and just received his certificate as a flight instructor. We encourage any pilot to attend.\n\n\n  \n  \nJames Sloan earned his PPL in 2002 and flew around the East Coast for a few years.  After taking several years off from flying\, he joined SCFC in 2017 and he has earned his instrument\, commercial\, advanced and instrument ground instructor\, and flight instructor ratings.  He currently has about 550 hours in single engine airplanes and owns 1.6 Cessnas.\n\n\n  \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation thought safety\, community\, and adventure. AOPA has consistently recognized SCFC in their Best Flight School survey\, most recently in 2019 as a Distinguished Flight School. \nSCFC is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our regular safety seminars and guest speaker programs.

SUMMARY:What is Tower Enroute Control (TEC)?
DESCRIPTION:**Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis\, this seminar will only be available for online viewing. IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.**  \nClick here to learn more about online viewing. \n\n\n\nMany local flights begin and end entirely within approach/departure control airspace.  These are otherwise known as Tower Enroute Control (TEC) routing. You can fly a local IFR flight without ever getting handed off to the Center.  This is because Air Route Traffic Control Centers are often very busy handling enroute traffic and short flights like this are not a good use of their time.  TEC routes can be extremely useful tools for the IFR pilot looking to fly a local IFR flight and get their clearance faster. \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites Instrument Ground Instruction and commercial pilot Dave Kramer to discuss the benefits of tower enroute control.  In this seminar\, Dave will review what TEC routing is\, how to find the appropriate route\, how to file it\, and how to fly it safely and effectively.  TEC Routes have been available for a long time\, often used in Southern California and have often been underused. By attending this seminar you will realize the benefits of using this type of routing\, and impress your friends on your next IFR flight. \nIf you want to get on the ground at your destination faster\, you won’t want to miss out on this seminar.\n\n\n  \n  \nDave Kramer MD\, an ophthalmologist for over 30 years\, is an instrument rated\, tailwheel\, complex and high performance endorsed commercial SEL pilot as well as a basic and instrument ground instructor with an interest in weather. He has been flying since 2012\, has over 1100 hours of which over 500 have been in the IFR system.  He also enjoys long cross country flying\, night flying and flying in the LA area.\n\n\n  \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation thought safety\, community\, and adventure. AOPA has consistently recognized SCFC in their Best Flight School survey\, most recently in 2019 as a Distinguished Flight School. \nSCFC is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our regular safety seminars and guest speaker programs.

SUMMARY:Ground School Refresher: Airspace
DESCRIPTION:Airspace Handout \n**Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis\, this seminar will only be available for online viewing. IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.** \nClick here to learn more about online viewing. \n\n\n\nLet’s face it\, airspace is an imaginary concept.  It is just a shorthand way to talk about the set of Federal Aviation Regulations that apply by location and altitude\, and the impact they have on VFR flight.  As confusing as you think the rules are\, with a quick refresher\, you’ll be back to full knowledge in no time. \nIf it has been awhile since you sat through ground school\, you may be due for an airspace refresher.  In this safety seminar\, we will review the different classes of airspace that are found in the United States.  We’ll cover their shapes\, sizes\, operating rules\, and also cover special use airspace.  Want an easy way to keep confusing Class G airspace rules memorized\, use the Flight Center’s method that teaches there are 3 types of Class G airspace\, Class G-low\, Class G-mid\, and Class G-high.  Do you know the differences between them?  Where would you look it up?  What happens to Class D when the tower closes?  How well do you know airspace? \nThis safety seminar is open to current and aspiring Private Pilots\, and will be of particular interest to students pilots and those who are preparing for a flight review.  You will leave the seminar with a renewed understanding\, and probably a few memory aids to take with your on your next flight.\n\n\n  \nSid Basu is a CFI ASEL\, Commercial ASEL\, AMEL and Instrument rated pilot with over 1500 hours total time and about 1000 hours dual given. He has been flying since 2008 and has been instructing at San Carlos Flight Center since 2017.\n\n\n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation thought safety\, community\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Challenges and Rewards of Instrument Rating
DESCRIPTION:**Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis\, this seminar will only be available for online viewing. IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.**  \nClick here to learn more about online viewing. \n\n\n\nAn IFR rating is a logical next step for pilots after becoming a private pilot.  Transitioning from flying with your eyes outside on the natural horizon to flying inside with reference to instruments is a big shift.  There are new charts\, new procedures\, and a new set of regulations that need to be learned.  Understanding the nuances of weather and ATC communications becomes even more relevant for an IFR pilot. \n  \nAlthough the IFR Rating is challenging\, earning it will definitely make you a safer pilot.  It also opens up new options for departing on your cross country trip even when the weather is less than VFR.  Even more so\, for aspiring pilots looking to get into the commercial aviation world\, this is the next logical step to take.  Join AGI and CFI Herb Pattern as he will share his experiences of working towards an IFR Rating.  He will share the challenges they encountered and the rewards of the rating\, along with sharing what the advantages are of having an Instrument Rating. \n  \nIf you are looking to pursue your instrument rating\, this is the seminar for you.\n\n\n  \n  \nHerb Patten is the Assistant Chief Pilot at the San Carlos Flight Center\, a CFI and an FAA certificated advanced and instrument ground instructor who teaches private pilot ground school at San Carlos Flight Center. He is a commercial pilot with an instrument rating\, has over 1\,500 hours and flown into at least 120 different California airports. He is the current chairman of the Upwind Foundation\, famous for its Upwind Summer Scholarship Program. In 2015\, Herb was named a Master Instructor by the National Association of Flight Instructors.\n\n\n  \n  \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation thought safety\, community\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Radio Communications 2: Enroute Radio Communications
DESCRIPTION:**Due to the COVID-19 public health crisis\, this seminar will only be available for online viewing. IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.**  \nClick here to learn more about online viewing. \n\n\n\n  \nFlying through in the many airspaces of California requires a high degree of situational awareness and sophisticated radio skills.  And yet\, radio communication is rarely taught as a specific subject during private pilot training.  Usually\, new pilots just absorb what they hear on the frequency around them\, both good and bad.  Although some radio techniques are covered in ground school\, rarely do student pilots get the time devoted to demystifying this often-confusing subject. \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites Herb Patten\, Assistant Chief Pilot\, AGI and CFI and Dan Dyer\, Chief Pilot and CFI to show how to perfect your communication and phraseology.  They will cover radio phraseology from the basics through advanced ATC services with emphasis on flight following and flight service stations.  This seminar will include many examples on how to recognize bad radio calls\, and how to fix them. Learn how to make radio communication easier and safer for all pilots. \nIf you are interested in becoming better at your radio\, you don’t want to miss this seminar.\n\n\n  \nDan Dyer is a flight instructor and Chief Pilot of San Carlos Flight Center.  He has been instructing for 15 years\, has over 4\,000 flight hours\, and is the Bay Area’s local expert in crosswind landing instruction. He is known for finding simple and innovative ways to explain complex topics and regularly speaks on advanced ground school topics.  Find out more about Dan at www.sancarlosflight.com or contact him at dan@sancarlosflight.com \nHerb Patten is the Assistant Chief Pilot at the San Carlos Flight Center\, a CFI and an FAA certificated advanced and instrument ground instructor who teaches private pilot ground school at San Carlos Flight Center.
