Formation Flight Training Clinics

Updated March 23, 2024 12:08 EDT
Introduction

Our training clinic period in 2024 started on Saturday, March 16, 2024 and will end on Saturday, July 6, 2024, two weeks prior to our mass arrival. The training period normally lasts four months. That is the plan again for 2024. The relative early start of the training season takes advantage of the predominantly good flying weather in some areas of the country and allows programming a second clinic in locations where the demand for training is higher, and lead pilots are available. In addition, we want to avoid extending the training period too far into July. The two weeks prior to the arrival should be a time when everyone's attention should concentrate on flight planning and preparing for the trek to Juneau and Oshkosh.

As always, we urge all of our pilots to avoid postponing their training until the last weeks before the arrival. We encourage everybody to get the training out of the way early. Attending a second clinic later in the season is perfectly acceptable and encouraged, but getting your first clinic out of the way early in the season is essential, taking into consideration that weather is always an unpredictable variable. As you all know, weather forecasts are only good for a few days ahead of time. Invariably, clinics will have to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

Many factors are involved in planning a training clinic, the most critical one being the availability of volunteer host and lead pilots at a specific location. We encourage our more experienced pilots to volunteer, train and become lead pilots to conduct clinics at their home base locations.
