Clinch’s Post

Good day to all pilots, We’re at a vital crossroads in our sport. In the wake of a few serious accidents over the past few years, ballooning is increasingly portrayed as reckless, dangerous, and out of control by the media, politicians, and some investigative and regulatory agencies. This growing public misperception of our sport has already resulted in increased regulation and likely will have further unfavorable consequences, unless we act now to change this. The Balloon Federation of America and its Call to Action Committee (comprised of Pat Cannon, Andy Baird, Sam Parks and Scott Appelman), along with other significant ballooning stakeholders, needs your help. We are seeking to establish a real time database to reflect the true SAFETY of ballooning. We are therefore asking that you click the link below and take 4-5 minutes to answer the brief questionnaire you’ll find there. We’re hoping to establish a big picture view of our sport, with data relative to our pilot population's years of experience, number of flights made, hours flown, landings and more. (No one’s individual information will be used in any way except to compile a cumulative report!) This database can then be used to factually, and favorably, respond to negative reporting that so often follows incidents or accidents in ballooning. If we don’t defend our sport, no one else will. Please note you may see this survey on many social platforms, personal pages, etc. To maintain accuracy, PLEASE ANSWER THE SURVEY ONLY ONCE! We ask that you consider this request urgently and register your responses by February 15, 2024. Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we all work to proactively present the many benefits that our sport and industry brings to the public.

Practical tips

On Monday we released episode 101 which was our pitot static instruments lesson of our IFR online ground school. We go into detail on pitot static errors you may encounter, especially those that can be caused by icing and how to diagnose them. #Studentpilot #privatepilottraining #groundschool #firstsoloflight #ifr #audiogroundschoolpodcast

How can we increase our first-pass success rate? We would ideally like this to be 100% - however, things get in our way. Things like the positioning of the patient, placement of the blade, a slow and steady approach to the airway, identifying landmarks, preoxygenation/denitrogenation all come into play when we want our first time entering the airway to be successful. In this module, we are going to break down all the steps to increase our FPS rate while maintaining saturations! Look at the importance of "ramping" the patient which aligns the axis of the airway. Axis = Access!

Sky saga from the ground : Life as an Air Traffic Controller If you picture the sky as a bustling marketplace, the radar screen is a lively map, and each blip representing an aircraft in need of constant attention, an Air Traffic Controller is an everyday hero behind the screen, right from the aircraft start up at the most odd hours you can imagine to landing and switch off , steering the hustle bustle of all aircraft in the vast sky. During peak hours, it’s like a sky party up there – aircraft crisscross the airspace turning the radar screen into an extremely dynamic landscape akin to the busiest streets of a city, reminiscent of a constantly evolving painting guided by the controllers precise instructions over the radio telephony. But, of course, every day isn’t a clear sky day. A controller faces numerous air dynamic challenges like a pro – weather surprises, technical hiccups, sudden changes, and to top it all, if it is about military, the horizon is a never ending scene, its over and above and beyond! From managing airspace both in peace and war, during training, missions and critical combat operations to making split second decisions with utmost composure, turning each obstacle into a high-flying puzzle where there is absolutely no room for error, it is that controller on the hot seat, who can MAKE IT OR BREAK IT!🛫 Behind the scenes, these unsung heroes work tirelessly for long hours and make toughest calls for safeguarding the lives in the air, all for the love of turning the aerial chaos into a beautifully organised sky show ✨Actually, its not just peak hours, it’s every single moment, it’s a market where every aircraft is on a unique journey, a specific purpose, and the controller is the guardian of their safe, expeditious and seamless journey through the open skies🛬🛫 Here’s to all the unsung heroes, air traffic controllers – the real sky artists, ensuring navigate not just the clouds but the mayhem with finesse! 🥂 Been there, done that – because every blip on the radar doesn’t just signify an aircraft; it’s a narrative of unyielding order winning over the crazy chaos! 🎯
