March 2016 CFI meeting summary

Six Associate’s degree programs to be offered at WIFA via our partnership with Catonsville College: Air Traffic Control, Aircraft Dispatcher, Flight Operations Management, Professional Pilot Airplane, Professional Pilot Helicopter, and Professional Pilot Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
F1 Visa with Catonsville College and M1 Visa from WIFA
College credit for FAA certificates and ratings including ground school
Uniforms and dress code – black pants, clean shave, dark shorts for summer – old WIFA shirts ok as backup
Discussed having a person assigned to each aircraft to check for maintenance issues, inspections coming due, items missing in POH like weight & balance, etc.
Introduced our new CFI – Nadia: CFI, CFII. She will start this coming week.
Discuss new commercial pilots doing discovery flights – full time CFIs have first choice to do these
Required pre solo checks by another CFI – good idea before a checkride
See Harry or Ariel to place order for one shirt paid for by WIFA – explain how they will order their own shirts
Email Harry how you want your name on your ID tag/name badge
New student pilot certificate
Fuel – use self serve or refuel at DMW
Save all fuel receipts for fuel purchased away from GAI
For renters/students fuel will be reimbursed at GAI price
Need 141 students – See Ziv or Harry to get checked out as a 141 instructor
