BRANCHING OUT
WHAT'S YOUR 2021 AVIATION GOAL?
AH, THE NEW YEAR IS HERE! MOST OF US ARE LIKELY THRILLED
to say so long to 2020, and now's the time to embrace all the
possibility of a fresh start. Among the classic resolutions-to eat
healthier, exercise, and binge watch Netflix less-did you make
space to include aviation goals?
Flight training milestones are clear: solo, solo cross country,
knowledge test, and the checkride. Training for our first pilot
certificate leads to a significant growth in aviation knowledge and
skill. As you get closer to the checkride, don't let that knowledge
fade away. Have a plan in mind to keep your proficiency up after
you pass, and consider using goalsetting to help create that plan.
Not sure where to start? Here are a couple of suggestions,
which can be modified to fit your lifestyle and budget:
* Fly to five airports you've never been to.
* Take your first passenger.
* Get checked out in a new-to-you airplane.
* Take your first airplane camping trip.
* Fly out of the country-doublecheck travel guidance before
crossing borders.
* Aspire to log a certain number of hours/landings/approaches
a month.
Not ready to push yourself? Fly more with a CFI to
build confidence; your instructor can also help you create
a realistic goal.
Find inspiration in ASI's series Beyond Proficient, where
student pilot Soyla Flor expands the boundaries of her skill
by flying across the San Pedro Channel to Catalina Island's
challenging Airport in the Sky with a CFI for the first time.
Then, follow Husky pilot Ross Wilke from the 500-foot strips
of the Wisconsin side country to his first-ever short takeoff
and landing (STOL) demonstration, where he competes
with the best of the best after a summer of focused preparation. Along the way, both aviators become more proficient,
safer pilots.
In 2021, don't let yourself stay stagnant-and remember that
the requirement for skill building and maintenance doesn't end
when you pass the checkride. With greater proficiency you'll
not only be a better overall pilot, you'll also be more prepared to
handle an emergency aloft.

THERE I WAS...: NIGHT FRIGHT
ASI talks to Mirek Fatyga, a commercial-rated pilot
based in Phoenix, Arizona. Fatyga tells the story of
piloting a Tecnam light sport aircraft at night, when
he flew through a tree while on approach to land at an
airport near Richmond, Virginia.
