CFI TIPS
are safe. For example, they should be clear of ice and other debris that could
harm the propeller and cause slipping, snowbanks should not be so high as
to impede aircraft operations, and lights and signage must be clearly visible.
Lastly, as it is year-round, pilot proficiency is a top consideration in the go/
no-go decision-making process. Have you and your student kept your heads
in the game during the long stretches between flights? Regular ground
sessions to review procedures, as well as flight simulator practice, are ways
to keep sharp and avoid loss of knowledge and proficiency. It's also costeffective.
During the weeks when a dual training session isn't an option,
there are countless online programs on a range of topics including aircraft
systems, mountain flying, fuel management, and emergency preparedness.
The AOPA Air Safety Institute's website (www.airsafetyinstitute.org) is
the place to go for a wide variety of engaging, free programs.
There's plenty to learn even on days when the decision is 'no-go.' But if
you decide to go, remember to allow time to warm up the engine, engine
compartment, and avionics. And, speaking like the mom I am, please wear a
jacket-it's still a bit chilly out there.

commercial pilot with multiengine and instrument ratings. She lives in New
Hampshire.
