Chilliwack

James...from my Aviation Community:

 

Subject: CHILLIWACK CYCW MF NOTAM

Just a heads up to all of you, Chilliwack Airport is now a mandatory frequency.

 

140449 CYXX CHILLIWACK CYCW AMEND PUB: COMM: TO READ: MF VICE ATF

 Just a side note from Principal Air.

 “Chilliwack being a mandatory frequency, does not mean you can do ‘straight ins’.  The airspace rules are the same as when Chilliwack was a atf, the only difference is you need a radio, and must use it, because we do not have a flight service station.

 If you can pass the word around to any other aviators that you are aware of that may not know of the changes.

Just a general reminder to watch for birds while flying this time of year.  I even saw a flock of geese "in the way" at Kamloops airport on the weekend at -20C, probably rethinking their decision not to head south.
 Ken  flew his 172 through a flock of them the other evening landing at Langley after a Chilliwack outing.  Their speeds and direction were pretty close to his on his steep full-flap landing, so all he got was a few soft thuds and vegematic'd one with the prop (prop and crank are ok).  Goose sh$t all over the airplane but no damage - lucky.

This pilot in Botswana took a stork through the windshield of his Cessna 210, and was not so lucky.  Lost an eye.  The non-pilot passenger managed to land the airplane, though the gear never got down.

Sunshine Coast

Great day for flying. Some of the guys flew to Powell River for lunch and then to Texada for a visit. Dead smooth and not too cold.

Upper Pitt River. Approx 2 miles north of the lake.

Scud running

Not much flying going on with the weather we have been having although some of us did make it to "The place for pie" at the weekend.


An object took flight at King George during the last windstorm and damaged one of our airplanes. I would like to suggest that we all secure any loose objects in our hangers before the next storm to prevent more damage.
