Winter Flying Prep – Stay Ready, Stay Safe
As temperatures drop and conditions change fast in the Sierra, winter flying brings new challenges—and higher stakes. This month’s safety meeting is all about preparing for safe, confident cold-weather operations.
We’ll review club procedures for winter ops, share real-world experiences, and open the floor for Q&A to make sure everyone’s set for a safe and successful winter flying season.
Highlights:
- Aircraft prep: preheating, battery health, deicing techniques
- Weather awareness: reading mountain forecasts, dealing with fast changes
- Performance planning: cold air density, engine behavior, runway considerations
- Club-specific winter ops reminders and community tips
