| The United States has a wide variety of natural beauty. Pilots in different parts of the country experience very different weather, terrain, and flight processes. For example, pilots based in California often learn about coastal climates and weather, operating in or around busy Class B airspace. Only with long cross country trips can they find out how other parts of the country operate and what challenges they face.
San Carlos Flight Center often brings in instructors with experience flying in other parts of the country, and asks them to share what they know. For this presentation, we’ve asked CFI Sydney Rapp to give her pilot perspective on flying in the Midwest, specifically in the areas around Missouri where she flew for many years. The Midwest brings many challenges for pilots, such as constantly changing weather conditions, varying airspaces, and key airplane operational differences that vary throughout the year. If you ever considered flying in the Midwest, or want to learn more about how airplanes handle differently throughout America – join us for this seminar. |
