SUMMARY:When the power went out at Night
DESCRIPTION:Flying at night brings spectacular views and usually calmer weather making it an enjoyable experience. At the same time\, night flying adds risks that need to be managed. What happens when the flight doesn’t go as planned? What are some considerations when flying at night? \nHerb Patten\, Senior CFI at San Carlos Flight Center will share an experience from a recent night flight where things didn’t go exactly as planned. During the flight\, a malfunction occurred which caused a loss of electrical power. Herb will describe at what point in the flight he encountered the failure and then share the response and decision making process that followed. He will share the actions that in hindsight were good decisions along with key learnings of what he would have done differently. \nJoin us for this seminar for a discussion of how the issue presented itself\, what were the factors that lead up to the failure\, immediate steps that were taken followed by developing a set of contingencies and finally the root causes of the failure. \n\nHerb Patten is a CFII and teaches both the Private Pilot and Instrument Ground School at San Carlos Flight Center. Herb has been recognized three times by AOPA as a Distinguished Flight Instructor. \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 2024 as a Distinguished Flight School for the fourth year in a row.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Cross-Country Planning
DESCRIPTION:As pilots\, we must know how to accurately plan for a cross-country flight. Join us for this in-person workshop at San Carlos Flight Center for a hands-on and scenario based learning experience. Senior CFI Herb Patten will show attendees the important elements of successful cross-country flight planning and walk you through your planning of a flight. Throughout the workshop Herb will incorporate various situations and challenges\, and provide direct support. \nThe Cross-Country Flight Planning workshop will be based on a trip between two Bay Area airports. This is an interactive workshop with participants working in small teams to successfully plan a flight and create a navigation log that could be used to make the flight. It’s as real as we can make it\, while students work through preflight planning decisions and factor in weather and fuel requirements.\n\nJoin us in-person if you would like some practice with the flight planning process including using faa.gov to look up NOTAMS and TFRs\, reviewing airport information available in the AFD and other sources\, creating nav logs\, determining fuel requirements\, performing weight and balance calculations. \nDue to the nature of the workshop\, this is an in-person event. No live stream will be available.
