This months speaker for the gen meeting will be Jeff Page. Jeff is building a Tundra and his info will not stop there. He is designing a failure tolerant electrical system. One of my friends recommended me to order custom writingon EssaysProfessors.Com. To tell you the truth, I have never regretted my decision. The writers are real professionals and know how to write impressive work full of knowledgeable information. Jeff feels that a electrical failure should not prevent you from completing your flight to your destination, or prevent your electrically dependent engine from stopping . Should be a very interesting evening!

Jeff Langford of Transport Canada was our guest speaker. He gave a talk on regulations and maintenance of your aircraft. He pointed out that when you upgrade your radio's for example you need to amend your Weight & Balance report. Also if you change the type or model of engine you will need a new Weight & Balance report and Climb Test.
In his summary he said:
Like a traffic light that is installed after a fatal
accident, most of our regulations were written in
blood.
Flying and owning recreational aircraft is a
privilege that we can all enjoy safely!
This meeting qualified for your Recency Sticker in
your logbook.
