SUMMARY:What Pilots Need to Know About Drones: Regulations\, Safety\, and Coexistence
DESCRIPTION:They are out there! No\, not UFOs\, but drones. Drones are and will continue to be sharing the same airspace with manned aircraft. Having a good understanding of where pilots may encounter drones will prove valuable. \nSan Carlos invites Travis Michels\, Flight Test Engineer at Skydio\, to share the current state of drone operations and what the rapidly evolving future will look like. He will detail where drones can fly under the various FAA regulations and more importantly how pilots can stay safe. He will also review a few drone/aircraft accidents. \nFace it\, the industry is evolving rapidly in this area and pilots need to keep informed. All pilots in the Bay Area will benefit from an insider view of the current state and future of drone operations. \nTravis Michels learned to fly in Colorado at a young age taking the checkride as soon as he turned 17. For fun\, Travis started flying drones in High School and in college he helped found the Colorado State University Drone Center. He spent 4 years there conducting various research projects and teaching drone courses. After graduating\, Travis joined Amazon’s Drone Delivery program as a flight operator. Recently\, he moved to the Bay Area and joined Skydio\, the largest US Drone Manufacturer based in San Mateo where he works as a Flight Test Engineer. \nAbout San Carlos Flight Center: \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation through safety\, community\, and adventure. AOPA has consistently recognized SCFC in their Best Flight School survey\, most recently in 2023 as a Distinguished Flight School for the third year in a row. \nSCFC is committed to promoting safety in general aviation through our regular safety seminars and guest speaker programs. Our seminars are free to watch when attended in person at our facility in San Carlos but live streaming and viewing recorded seminars are exclusively available to members. Click here or contact an SCFC member service rep at (650) 946-1700 for more information about online access to our web library of over 500 recorded safety seminars and live-streamed content. \nThis seminar will be held in person at SCFC\, attendance is free and open to all. Web Members will still be able to access our seminars online\, both live and recorded. Click here to learn more about the transition. \nInterested in watching more of our presentations?

SUMMARY:** Postponed ** A Day in the Life of SQL Tower ** Postponed **
DESCRIPTION:What\, you want me to do the radio and fly? To a student pilot\, radio communication is a task that seems daunting. Interpreting the meaning of what is being said on the radio is not easy. The language seems terse and there is often a pressure to not mess up when it is your turn to talk. \nSCFC has prided itself on effective radio communication and has presented many safety seminars on radio communications. In this seminar\, we will listen and decipher a days worth of radio communication at San Carlos. We will highlight common as well as uncommon messages to bring a deeper understanding of radio communication to the pilot community. \nIf you have been looking for opportunities to improve your radio pedigree/IQ\, this is a seminar that you will want to attend. \nCapt. Bennett Taber is a check airman and training captain with over 20 years and 16\,000 hours of air charter experience throughout the western United States. His first 500 hours of flying were conducted in Alaska. Captain Taber manages flight operations and charter sales for Dreamline Aviation in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a Dreamline Training Captain in Beech King Air aircraft. \nAbout San Carlos Flight Center: \nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation through safety\, community\, and adventure.

DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Since this event will involve active discussion\, it will be held over Zoom and not broadcast via Livestream. Please RSVP by 12pm on May 15th to receive Zoom meeting info via email before the event starts. \n  \nMost pilots like analyzing scenarios and trying to answer the age old question of what would I do in that situation? Imagine if you could also hear the opinions of other pilots or get feedback on your approach to a situation. Well\, that is exactly what the IMC Club provides. \nJoin the local EAA Chapter 20 IMC Club meeting to review a scenario and share in the discussions with fellow pilots. You will get an opportunity to hear other pilots’ analysis as well as the group critique of various solutions. \nWhether you are a newly minted instrument rated pilot and anxious to learn from others or you are a seasoned pilot with experience to share\, the IMC Club is a welcome home for both. \nLearn more about IMC Club at http://www.eaa20.org/about.html \n  \nBrian Eliot is San Carlos Flight Center’s Assistant Chief Pilot and resident expert for IFR training and Garmin G1000 avionics. He has been flying since 1995 and received all his training in the Bay Area. Brian previously worked as a broadcast engineer\, a software developer\, and taught computer science at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. He regularly presents at San Carlos Flight Center safety seminars and has a reputation for making complex concepts easy to learn and understand. \n  \nAbout San Carlos Flight Center: \n\n\n\nSan Carlos Flight Center (SCFC) is the SF Bay Area’s most dynamic flying club\, committed to building general aviation through safety\, community\, and adventure.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Flyers: Half Moon Bay (Mezza Luna)
DESCRIPTION:On May 23\, make the quick hop over the Santa Cruz Mountains to Half Moon Bay for dinner. The flight is quick from points around the Bay Area but is much faster and less stressful than navigating the traffic on Highway 92. This is a perfect flight to take friends and family on\, as it affords stunning views of the local coastline\, beaches\, and mountains in such a short flight. \nAfter landing\, taxi to the small ramp on the southeast side of the airport (located southeast of the taxiway that takes you to Runway 30). Secure your aircraft\, and we’ll walk through the gate to meet at Mezza Luna at 7 PM\, one of the best restaurants in the town. Enjoy an Italian dinner\, complete with classic favorites like pasta and freshly-caught seafood. \nPlease RSVP below so we can inform the restaurant of our headcount. We hope to see you in Half Moon Bay on October 28th!

SUMMARY:FOG Lunch: Willows
DESCRIPTION:Want delicious food and some cross-country time? Join FOG on May 25 as we head north to Willows (WLW)\, where we’ll break for lunch at Nancy’s Airport Cafe. \nWillows can be found in the northwest side of the Central Valley\, and is located between Nut Tree and Redding. Flying in the Spring time will hopefully present a green and colorful landscape\, as many of the surrounding hills will be various shades of green from the winter rains. On a clear day\, you may even be able to get a glimpse of the towering Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen on the descent! \nNancy’s Airport Cafe is a small airport diner\, but is known for its all-day breakfast\, American fare\, and best of all\, their pies! Make sure to grab a slice before heading home\, as they’re known for keeping pilots coming back for more. To access the restaurant\, please park on the ramp alongside the hangers and self-serve fuel depot\, and walk through the gate. \nAs always\, if you’re interested in attending\, please let us know by signing up below.
