The holiday season is officially upon us. Even with the snow and the cold, the flying does not stop at Princeton Airport. With the change of season we have had a few more windy days, but with the colder weather brings clearer skies. And on those days that are not flyable, remember we have the fully FAA Certified Simulator available.

The Holiday Season is approaching and you are probably looking for gifts for friends and family. An Introductory Flying Certificate is a great way to give a gift of a lifetime.

In the spirit of gift giving, we will be collecting unwrapped toys for Mercer County Board of Social Services.

While the days are still getting shorter, the good news is they will start to get longer at the end of this month! Read on to see what else is going on at 39N.

Give the GIft of Flight this Holiday Season!

There is no better gift than an Introductory Flying Lesson. Share the world of aviation with friends and family. Certificates can be purchased at the counter as well as online for just $249.

From the Right Seat

By Pete Rafle ATP CFII

Recently, at an airshow featuring World War II aircraft, a P-63 collided with a B-17 as it attempted to join the bomber in a formation flight. Flying in formation can be very pleasurable, but it is dangerous.   I have had the opportunity to fly in formation at airshows.  I received formation training in the U.S. Navy.  I will present some thoughts on conducting safe formation operations.  The tragic collision is under NTSB investigation, so I will discuss formation flight in general terms.

Next PAFT Meeting Wednesday, December 14th @ 6:30 pm

The next PAFT meeting will be on Zoom on December 14, 2022 at 6:30 pm. A Zoom link will be sent to the mailing list several days prior. We will have a round table with 3 notable Princeton instructors on “Maintaining proficiency as a GA pilot”. We look forward to having Pete Rafle, Dave Michaud, and Steve Hansell, join us for this evening’s panel discussion. 

With an aging pilot population, pressure to fly less because of increased costs, and a generally aging plane fleet, there are clear challenges to us to fly safely. At the same time, advanced avionics are becoming more common at less cost, with the potential to improve flight safety. How do we as GA pilots keep up? What resources should we be using? How should we evaluate ourselves and skills?

If you would like to join us and are not already on the email list, please send me an email at ddennyjr@gmail.com We welcome students, new pilots and new members! We meet on the second Wednesday of the month September to May. Have a topic you are interested in? Check our web page at PAFT-nj.org or send me an email at ddennyjr@gmail.com

Fly safe,

Don Denny
