Soaring Safely in the Carson City Area

This safety meeting we’ll dive into the exciting world of soaring in Northern Nevada—and the critical role weather awareness plays in flight safety. The Carson City area offers some of the most dynamic and rewarding flying in the West, but it also presents unique weather challenges for all aviators, from sudden wind shifts and thermals to mountain wave activity and convective turbulence.

This month’s safety meeting will focus on understanding the significant weather conditions common to our region, how they affect small aircraft performance, and what steps we can take to ensure every flight is a safe one. Whether you’re flying a Cessna, Cub, or glider, this session will provide valuable insights for navigating the skies with confidence and caution.
