In this episode, Max talks with Jeff Menasco, the Director of Aviation at Truckee Tahoe Airport, who describes the unique challenges and beauty of the airfield. Situated at a high elevation of 5,901 feet, the airport experiences high-density altitudes, often exceeding 9,000 feet, which can surprise pilots unaccustomed to such conditions. The surrounding mountainous terrain further complicates approaches, creating high minimums and orthographic wind effects, particularly in the afternoons with gusts up to 35 knots. Winter weather adds another layer of complexity, with heavy snowfall requiring extensive snow removal efforts. The area's scenic appeal and proximity to the Bay Area draw significant air traffic, with 65% originating from there. Jeff highlights accident trends, noting that 24 accidents over 28 years were primarily due to high-density altitude, gusty winds, and IFR conditions with visual obscurations. The airport's FLY SAFE program incentivizes pilot proficiency through the FAA WINGS program, offering discounts for training and monthly seminars. Efforts to maintain safety include hosting flight clinics and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Noise abatement procedures are also emphasized to respect the community's tranquility, with specific protocols and quiet hours for operations.

With the First 100 Days of Airmanship officially happening on this special date, Airman Khan reflects on what he has been able to accomplish so much within these past 100 days, such as already impacting hundreds of individuals and their families to learn about the day trading valuable skill set and introduce them through meaningful incentives as well as resources, establishing checklist agendas for high ratings of Private and Instrument on a timely fashion, finishing unmanned aerial aircraft systems training at a record high from early 2021, and so much more with mentorship and finding the industry-level advisors for success. Taking leadership in a time of new renewal and strength is challenging, yet rewarding, as mentioned by the Pilot, and discussed setting forth for incoming FAA Wings' initiative that dedicates for former and current pilots to take advantage of resources needed to strengthen airmanship with safety, peace, prosperity, and harmony. As the length of 100 days is just nothing, but arbitrary, he briefs and concludes that service projects remain another priority for the people, and will never be left out of his desk, as impacting the lives of America and the globe is what makes our world a powerful civilization, no matter how long it takes or how difficult the mission gets. Manifestation for space exploration is real, and many people will see and recognize its power in the upcoming months, and the Pilot is hopeful that the nation will join him in his effort.

We talk about the benefits of participating in the FAA WINGS program in lieu of doing a Flight Review (formerly called a BFR), which pilots in the U.S. must do every two years. Instead of spending an hour on the ground reviewing Part 91 rules and regulations, the FAA WINGS program lets you can take free online courses instead, which may be a better use of your time, if you choose courses that help keep you safer when you fly. We had lots of feedback on entering the traffic at non-Towered Airports. Not everyone likes the FAA preferred entry for crossing over the field at 500 feet above pattern altitude and then turning to enter on the 45. But we don’t get to pick which rules to follow and not follow, just because we don’t like them! Plus an Air Canada flight 759 near miss update. Oddly, that aircraft was not visible on SFO’s surface radar for 12 seconds, and we explain why. Plus listener questions. An instrument pilots asks about how to activate an instrument approach on his Garmin GPS. Click here for the survey. Tell us what flight planning tools you use when planning a longer flight. Please visit my new Patreon page and help me with my goal of funding the creation of two apps for my show, one for Apple and one for Google Play, so that non-techie pilots can find the show in the app store. You can Dictate a listener question from your phone and I’ll try to answer it on a future show, or send an email.
