November Safety Tip

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Winter flying brings great climb performance, smooth air and great scenery. Also the extra time for a good preflight. Make sure all ice and snow is removed so it can’t freeze in hinge points while in flight. Most manufactuers recommend preheat at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for engine and cabin. Know the correct cold start procedure for the aircraft you fly. Get a good weather breifing so you can stay clear of ice. If you get in to ice get out as soon as possible. Last but not least, dress for the weather.
