The flight school uses aircraft checklists for each aircraft that are tailored for each one.

  • The checklists above are the same check lists used in the aircraft. Any discrepancies or suggestions should be directed the Chief Instructor.
  • Each pilot must complete a questionnaire for each type of aircraft. Pilots should download the questionnaire and have it completed for the instructor prior to the check ride.
  • Weight and balance information is available for several aircraft. Data for all aircraft are downloadable above. *Pilots are cautioned to consult the Aircraft Flight Manual specific for each aircraft as the only official source for weight and balance information. The links above may serve to assist in flight planning.

Announcements

Private Pilot Ground School. The Flight School will probably offer a private pilot ground course of instruction starting in January, 2020. This course will last for at least 10 weeks, though often weather cancellations necessitate an extension of a couple weeks. Each class starts at 4:00 PM and lasts about 2 hours. Please contact the instructor, Jim Stover, at 540-373-1715 for any questions.

Wings Seminars. JLS / SSA plans to conduct Wings Seminars for the foreseeable future. Specific announcements will be made through FAASafety.gov. If you would like to be notified of upcoming seminars be sure your Wings account is active and you have selected that you would like to be notified of local events. Seminars are intended for VFR pilots, IFR pilots and Flight Instructors. Whether you are a student pilot, a CFI candidate or a seasoned pilot, you are welcome to participate in the seminars. Signing up for and attending a seminar counts as Wings credit toward a Flight Review. The next seminar is a CFI Seminar planned for Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at Shannon Airport.
