Just a reminder to all Pilots that we started our Weekly Event beginning Friday, Feb. 7th. at midnight. However, we are going to change to SATURDAYS for awhile to see if it fits into more Pilots time frame. And, once again, It is a Landing Contest where pilots will fly the same aircraft, to the same airport, with the same weight load, the same fuel load, and attempted to record the "softest" landing rate. Each week the airport and aircraft will change. You'll have 24 hrs. to try as many times as you like. This week you will have the opportunity to fly a circle route with 6 legs in the 208. A little longer flights than last week but a quicker aircraft. Longest route is only 68 NM.


So, here is the lineup for this weeks event. It will be a circle route and you may fly any leg or legs that you wish and in any order. Fly them all or pick and choose. It's totally up to you! So enjoy the routes!!

1. Buckland to Deering Flt. Number: ERR7H3312 / PABL - PADE / 208 / PAYLOAD= 170 LBS. / FUEL= 20% / 40 NM Direct.

2. Then Deering to Ralph Wein Flt. Number: ERR7H3313 / PADE - POAT / 208 / PAYLOAD= 170 LBS. / FUEL= 20% / 49 NM Direct

3. Then Ralph Wein to Noatak Flt. Number: ERR7H3303 / POAT / PAWN / 208 / PAYLOAD= 170 LBS. / FUEL = 20% / 42 NM Direct

On Saturday, come on out and play!!!

Me too! I had to make 2 approaches and really pay attention as the airport disappeared just as I went to final....

Well ol' Brian Ritz, ERR277 did it again! -47 FPM while landing at PABL...Second place went to ERR483, Dave Maze, with a -75FPM at PADE and third place went to Jack Graham, ERR508 with a -119FPM while landing at PAVL!

Well done Brian! Another winners badge for your Profile Jacket. Now, isn't there anyone out there in ERA land that can bring a little competition to Brian?!? Surely ( don't call me Shirley !!) there must be someone that can give him a run for his money! He's thrown down the gauntlet with several wins so perhaps its time to put a little more pressure on Brian! We'll see how this plays out on the next "WEEKLY LANDING CONTEST"!!!! (date and routes TBA )

Thanks for participating!!
