They serve as reminders of what I should know and have learned, but need to recall from time to time to remain proficient. Keep up the good work.<br />-- Joseph F.<br /><br />"...a real benefit to me"<br /><br />These Pilot Tips of the Week are a real benefit to me. I don't have a bunch of pilot friends to gather round the hangar with and ask questions or to advise me about various situation in which I might become involved while flying. These Tips take the place of that ... it's like being part of an ongoing discussion about flying where I can learn from others and/or reaffirm what I already know.<br />-- Phil K.<br /><br />"...a great idea."<br /><br />Tips are a great idea. I take them seriously.... If we all get a little better with each flight, eventually we will all arrive at the level of competence that is deserving of our fellow pilots.<br />-- George E.<br /><br />"...could save a life"<br /><br />Just happened to me on Monday, flying up from Florida...(in a Champ). I decided that a wall of thunderstorms and a convective sigmet were bigger than I.....<br /><br />Turned around and spent a restful night in So Carolina. Thank you for sharing those tips...they could save a life!<br />-- Rob M.
