Chicago Flight Instructors Association
March 4, 2010
The next meeting of the Chicago Flight Instructors Association will be held Monday, March 8, 2010 at the Hilton Garden Inn on North Avenue (Rt. 64) starting at 7pm. We urge you to bring your students (aren’t we all students) no matter how many hours or ratings they may hold. Everyone is welcome. There will be new information for everyone.
There are times (or have been times in the past and surely be times in the future) when we in the cockpit wish we had better communications. Not necessarily a new Garmin or its equivalent. Rather an improved understanding of how to better understand communication with the Air Traffic Control folks. We have two Air Traffic Control specialists who will bring light to the mystery of talking between the ATC facility and the cockpit. They are Pam Brophy and Pat Tiner of the Aurora tower. Pat has been in aviation since 1968, starting with the Air Force, and has been at Aurora tower since 1997 with time spent as tower operator at EAA AirVenture and at NASCAR, the National Intercollegiate Flying Association competitions. Pam will be celebrating 25 years with the FAA this August having worked in all 3 traffic options, Center, Flight Service Station and Control Tower. They both bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with us that will make our communications easier so we pilots can receive the best possible service, whether on the ground or in the air.
Verne Jobst, President
