September 24th DFC Virtual Safety and Social Meeting
All are welcome to join Desert Flying Club at our first virtual monthly safety meeting Thursday, September 24th at 7pm. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, we will be holding this gathering virtually. Everyone is welcome – members & non-members alike! We will not be meeting in the clubhouse, click the link below to attend.
Desert Flying Club is excited to have Josh Harkness present on currency vs. proficiency. One of the missions of DFC is to promote safety in general aviation in the Las Vegas area. Josh will discuss the difference between flying legally and current, but maybe not proficient. AOPA states “Proficiency, by definition, means performing a given skill with expert correctness. In contrast, currency simply refers to being up to date or occurring within a recent period of time. These definitions are useful in illustrating the point that being current in a particular task does not necessarily imply proficiency at that task, If we apply these definitions to the recency of experience requirements specified in the regulations, it becomes evident that a pilot. while legally current, may not be adequately proficient in certain critical flight skills to act as pilot in command.” In the presentation, you will learn how to maintain proficiency and be a safe pilot in all aspects of your flying.
