We will fly on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday morning will be for newbie practice and advanced work for others. Sunday afternoon will be for transportation home or more advanced flights.

Event Details:
The primary objective of this Clinic is to provide the mandatory training and currency requirements needed to participate in the B2OSH flight this year. All other activities will be subordinate to that objective. Depending on how many participants are new to formation flying and how Mother Nature behaves that weekend, we should be able to get in some more advanced-maneuver flights as well as satisfy the primary objective.

Our practice area will be North, West and South of the Bremerton airport, essentially over the Hood Canal. Traffic is very light in that area and we only need to avoid a small but important SUA area (P-51) and even that only extends upwards to 2500 feet.

The Hood Canal area has spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains (if you are not flying wing) and smooth air (normally) over the water. Seattle’s Class B is to the east of Bremerton. All practice area boundaries, frequencies and altitudes will be depicted on Leader Cards with SUA and emergency fields clearly shown.

Specific details will be provided to registrants when they sign up.

Aircraft and Preparation Requirements:
This clinic is for Bonanza drivers only. By prior arrangement we may be able to accommodate a few Barons.

Your aircraft must have dual rudder pedals (not necessarily with brakes) and a working intercom. Throw-over control wheels are OK.

You MUST have a copy of and be completely familiar with the contents of the T-34 Manual.
