Power Forward

Hard work pays off.

Congratulations Monica on your successful checkride!

I can’t wait to hear about your future flying adventures. ✈️🌎😊

Spotted an Eagles fan on the ramp at West Hampton this morning. Totally sweet airplane, but we can’t help but wonder…do you think they sing “fly, Eagles, fly” during every takeoff? 🤔

They’ve gotta, right??! Because we definitely would. 🎶🎤😉

The skies the limit ✈️


✈️:

A Class Bravo transition can be intimidating to new pilots - especially in airspaces as busy as New York’s - but it’s really not so different from standard VFR flight following. They might assign you a series of headings, or ask you to change altitude, or send you direct to a nearby VOR (or airport) and then direct to your destination…but all of these things can be managed easily with avionics.

And the most important thing for pilots to do is prepare a Plan B - know what you’re going to do and where you’re going to go if they’re not able to grant you a clearance through the Bravo airspace.

Finally, be sure to respond promptly to all ATC communications if you want to avoid the wrath of busy controllers.

Birds of a feather.



Another for the logbook!

We had a fantastic turn out last night for our hangar night program. So many people came by that we quite literally ran out of chairs. Totally amazing to see such a big crowd! 😱🤯❤️

We owe a huge thanks to ATC Specialist Dave Urban for leading an engaging and informative Q&A. And much love to our friends at for their always-fantastic catering. 🤤

It was wonderful to see our local aviation community so active and engaged. 🤗

Per the FAA website, the US Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provides service to more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers across more than 5 million square miles of domestic airspace every day. 😱🤯

If like us you’re curious as to how they manage to pull that off, come out and join us at The Brandywine Airport (OQN) tonight at 6pm where we’ll have our guest speaker, a seasoned Washington Center and Philly Approach controller, speaking with us about air traffic control operations. ✈️🗣🎙🙊

Come out this Thursday at 6pm for our educational Hangar Night series at the Brandywine Airport (OQN).

We’ll have Air Traffic Controller Dave Urban with us to speak to TFR operations, the goings on behind the scenes of air traffic control, and best practices for ATC communications.

This event is intended to benefit pilots of all ages and experience levels. It’s free and open to the public. Bring your most pressing ATC-related questions because Dave is willing and eager to answer them! ✈️🗣🎙🙊

Clouds just be growing out of the ground in Georgia...🤔

Beautiful day to do some flight training. 🤗💪
