Wallowa County Aviation Pinch Hitters Course

On Sunday November 16 from 1 to 5 PM at the Joseph airport Chief Joseph Flyers will present a Pinch Hitters Course for tenuous flyers. If you fly in small planes with a friend or spouse this course will make you more comfortable by understanding how planes fly and what you can do to actually help the pilot fly the plane. Navigation, radio communications, weather, preflight planning and controlling the plane during routine straight and level flight are just a few of the services that you can offer to your pilot to make his job easier and your trip more enjoyable. You will learn what to do in the event that your pilot becomes incapacitated and you are forced to take over the controls and safely land the plane. For those who reluctantly fly commercial airlines, this course will help to allay your fears by teaching you what goes on in the cockpit. Certified Flight Instructor Charla Whiting and Ground School Instructor Brian Adelhardt will make this 4 hour session light hearted but instructional. Free to Chief Joseph Flyers and Wallowa County Pilots Association member families, $10 to the general public. Reservations required. For information and reservations please call Brian at 443-504-7016
