I'm frequently asked by COPAns to review purchase or sales contracts that were drafted by others, and I'm still amazed by some of the dangerous language I find out there. ARE YOU REQUIRED TO CALL FLIGHT SERVICE FOR A BRIEFING? To be safe, pilots should use EFBs that have a feature that will email you a copy of the full briefing. Keep those emails for at least six months. If that doesn’t work for you, make the phone call to Flight Service, which puts your briefing on the record.

HOSTAGE SITUATION
Hostage Situation. Mark is the owner of a beautiful Cessna 185 Skywagon based in the San Francisco Bay area, but the episode I’m about to describe could just as easily have happened to a Cirrus owner. A while back, Mark and his wife traveled to Minden, Nevada, in his airplane to visit with his mother-in-law who was ill. WHEN ATC SAYS: "CALL THIS NUMBER" SHOULD YOU? The answer is: it depends on how strong and disciplined you are. If every pilot were a robot, they could be preprogrammed to call ATC, provide only their name, tail number, pilot certificate number, confirm who was PIC, and ask what the nature of the situation is. ATC would give a brief description of the event, and afterward the piloteither

The Mountain High pulse system I have been testing is like FADEC for the nose. It is absolutely great. Here is a picture of the system: I used it on two back-to-back long flying days this week and I love it. To begin with the cannula is much less obtrusive (is has no mustache attachment) and seems to be made out of softer material. I can eat a sandwich without taking it off.

The answer is: it depends on how strong and disciplined you are. If every pilot were a robot, they could be preprogrammed to call ATC, provide only their name, tail number, pilot certificate number, confirm who was PIC, and ask what the nature of the situation is.

ARE YOU REQUIRED TO CALL FLIGHT SERVICE FOR A BRIEFING? To be safe, pilots should use EFBs that have a feature that will email you a copy of the full briefing. Keep those emails for at least six months. If that doesn’t work for you, make the phone call to Flight Service, which puts your briefing on the record. This article was initially published in the September / October 2017 issue of COPAPilot.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH FIS-B WEATHER? A lot. Is it better than having nothing? Yes and no. But you need to drill down to the product level to see the value, or lack thereof. In August 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began to broadcast six new weather products which included lightning, cloud top height, icing, turbulence, center weather advisories (CWA) and graphical AIRMETs (G-AIRMETs).

Those scheduled for the initial flight training expressed anxiety as they were over-awed by the resumes of their allocated COPA instructors. However, upon return they all had grins borne out of accomplishment and amazement as to how good the instructors were at stretching their flight envelope withoutputting them down.
— D.A., Australia Thanks for all the Good Info Smile (on airports and FBOs) I now have ten times more info than i had previously, and can make an Informed decision, This is just one of many reasons why i find $65 a year for COPA dues to be worthwhile.— P.B., CO
When I read this form and find videos, simulators, etc, I feel like I bumped into a virtual Cirrus piñata, and all that brain candy is raining down on my head. At other times I sense I’ve stumbled into a room with the cast of characters straight out of 'One Flew Over theCuckoo’s Nest.
— A.S., CT
I make a living teaching others about these great aircraft, and I use COPA and COPA Pilot magazine to keep me up to date with current maintenance and safety issues. I spend time with each student during initial and recurrent training, discussing accident statistics. The compilation of data contained in this website and in the Safety Issue makes for easy analysis and if incorporated in proper training should have an impact on fleet training.— G.W., CA
If you want to have a great experience, make new friends, enjoy yourself, and significantly improve your piloting skills and flying safely, DO NOT MISS CPPP! — (COPA Pilot Proficiency Program) I think pilots feel is going to be very stressful and a test situation ... It is just the opposite -- the learning is tremendous and I always had the feeling that everyone was there to help me be a better pilot. Additionally the people you meet, the staff and participants become friends. — (COPA Pilot Proficiency Program) I was a fairly experienced pilot with more than 1500 hrs. experience and 500+ hrs in a T210. The COPA website was one of the major reasons why I purchased a Cirrus. The unbelievably eloquent and intelligent posters kept amazing me with their content and opened my eyes to the incredible value and safety Cirrus offered. In the last 5 years on COPA I have learned more about aviation safety, IFR procedures and aviation weather in general than in the previous 15 years!— R.V., CA
I joined COPA right after I started my PPL training, and I can't even begin to gauge how much knowledge I have obtained through the forums. There is the old saying that someone may have 10 years experience, but it might only be 1 year of experience 10 times over. My goal is learn something new about aviation every day. That's pretty easy to do onthese forums.
— B.C., CA
I joined COPA just before buying an SR22 in 2003. I had been flying "seriously" about 4 years and had around 550 hours. Participation in COPA taught me a ton about operating my new airplane safely. It was a two way street. I learned and I shared. The community has been awesome. Not just from a safety perspective, but from a life perspective. There are many new friends I've gained over these past 5years. Awesome.
— T.A., MN
I'm very appreciative of the COPA community as an amazing wealth ofknowledge.
