SUMMARY:Destination: Columbia
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  \nColumbia is a history-rich town settled in the Sierra Nevada foothills\, founded in the 1850s during the Gold Rush. The historic downtown area features the largest single collection of existing Gold Rush-era structures in the entire state\, and offers saloons\, merchants\, a tea house\, and much more. The Columbia Airport is an ideal airport to experience non-towered operations\, grass runways\, and the closest you can get to high-altitude airports. \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites experienced pilots Amanda Chan\, and Marco Leogrande to share their experiences with flying to Columbia Airport and how to make the trip into a great weekend destination and memorable learning experience for all. The Columbia airport (O22) is located a mere 15 minutes walk from downtown\, and it features a 4600 ft paved runway and a 2600 ft grass runway. An on airport campground\, exclusively for pilots\, offers picnic tables\, barbecues\, campsites\, flush toilets and hot showers. At 2\,121 ft MSL and surrounded by hills\, O22 provides pilots with an introduction to the challenges involved with operating at a higher-elevation airport. This seminar will highlight the steps to help you plan a cross country flight plan from the Bay Area\, and some of the necessary precautions needed while operating at a grassy\, high altitude\, and non towered airport. \nIf you are looking to find an airport that offers a unique challenge for many pilots\, and be rewarded with the beautiful sights of Columbia; don’t miss this webinar. \n  \nMarco Leogrande has been flying with the SCFC since 2017\, and obtained his private pilot certificate in 2019. He has been drawn to general aviation by the adventure and opportunity of visiting California by air. \nAmanda Chan\, a software product manager for a Fortune 500 company\, started flying in 2014 and earned her ASEL private pilot certificate in 2017. She has over 350 flight hours and recently completed training for a high-performance endorsement. \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:How Good Instructors Become Great Instructors
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\nFlight Instructors help students acquire knowledge\, perfect flight skills\, and learn good decision making.  Quality flight instruction is an important part of building a safe community of pilots.  But not many pilots know about the process of becoming a certificated flight instructor.  Is it okay to fly with a very new instructor?  Should I seek out someone with many years of experience?  What makes the difference between a good CFI and a great CFI? \nIn this seminar\, designed primarily to be viewed by flight instructors\, we will examine the obligations of the role of flight instructor\, and look for ways good instructors can push themselves to improve.  Most importantly\, we’ll show all the important ways that flight instruction differs from being a pilot\, as outlined in the FAA’s Aviation Instructor’s Handbook. \nIf you are a new flight instructor who is passionate about effective instruction and looking for tips to improve your effectiveness\, please join us.  Commercial pilots who may be considering flight instruction as a career may also find value in this seminar.  High-time flight instructors may already know much of these items\, but are welcome to view the presentation as a refresher of what our profession aims toward. \n  \n  \n\n\n\nDan Dyer is Chief Pilot and owner of San Carlos Flight Center and has spent years focusing on effective instruction techniques.  With a degree in Cognitive Science\, Dyer often brings a scientific approach to understand how to train safe and competent pilots.  After years of teaching primary students\, Dyer now spends most of his time helping new instructors become very effective in a very short period of time.\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:IFR Circle to Land Procedures
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\nCircling approaches present a high workload and can be hazardous.  Nevertheless\, they are a fact of IFR life\, particularly at smaller airports because of surrounding terrain or the high cost of approach development.  Are you ready to handle the challenge? \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites AGI and CFI Herb Pattern to explore the “Circle to Land” instrument approach.  In this seminar\, Herb will review the design criteria that cause an approach to be titled for circling only\, when circling minimums are excluded from a chart\, when you can land straight in from a circling approach\, and when you can circle from a straight-in approach.  It’s also crucial not to forget discussing chart notes\, circling restrictions\, and formulating a landing plan based on the approach path and runway layout.  Finally\, we will examine the critical execution of the circling missed approach maneuver. \nAll instrument-rated pilots need to be familiar and confident with these procedures.  You will never know when you are faced with this situation.  Join us\, and re-familiarize yourself with this unique procedure.\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 2\,000 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  \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:Building My Own Airplane
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 an airplane is fun\, but building your own airplane will really teach you about airplane systems and airworthiness.  That lifelong childhood dream of building your own safe\, FAA-approved airplane can come true.  The safety of an airplane is a pilot’s top priority\, and so what do you need to know as a builder to be sure that your airplane will stay in the air? \nSan Carlos Flight Center invites Thomas Carlson\, a Sport Pilot and ELSA (Experimental Light Sport Aircraft) Airplane Builder to speak with the pilot community on the ups and downs of his experience building his airplane.  The experimental build category provides seemingly limitless affordable choices and is where ASTM / LAMA standards are applied in a reasonable and safe way to build planes.  However\, many people can be intimidated by the thought of building their own airplane.  Where do I start?  When can I start?  Why would I want to do this?  Will my airplane even stay in the air?  Airplane builders must take into account all the necessary measures.  In this seminar Thomas will answer all of those questions along with discussing his experiences with choosing\, building\, and soon to be flying a VAN’S RV-12iS. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from a fellow aviator how you can safely build the airplane of your dreams.  You don’t have to be an expert craftsman nor a rocket scientist to build\, but there are definitely things to learn from someone who has been through this process before.\n\n\n  \nThomas Carlson is a Sport Pilot and ELSA (Experimental Light Sport Aircraft) Airplane Builder that loves sharing his airplane building experiences with the pilot community.  He is an active member in EAA Chapter 20 and hopes to be flying his Vans RV-12iS soon.\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.
