Welcome to the Blog

Hey everyone! I just wanted to welcome all the Spectrum students, renters, alumni, staff and any general aviation enthusiasts out there to the new Spectrum Blog. For those of you who don't know me, here's a quick introduction: I'm Lindsey, one of the Spectrum Desk Staff. I've been working at Spectrum for just over two years now.

One thing I love about my job is all the people I get to meet and talk to. I've met many fascinating individuals over the past two years and it's always great to get to know exactly who our students are. Don't hesitate to come up to the desk and say hello next time you're in the building!

I've got a couple of announcements as well. First off is Groundschool. We have a number of classes that will be beginning in the Fall. There will be two Private courses beginning, one regular and one accelerated. The regular one is scheduled for September 8th, a Wedsnesday, and will run 7-10pm each week. The accelerated one will begin in October, dates to be announced shortly, and will be staggered with an accelerated Commercial Groundschool. Basically one weekend will have four Private classes (2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday) and the next will have four Commercial classes (2 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday).

The next is regarding our Capable Co-Pilot course. Do you frequently have a friend or significant other fly as your co-pilot? Now, would said co-pilot be able to land in an emergency? If the answers to these questions are "Yes" and "No" respectively, we may just have the course for you. We are looking to teach the basics to flying (landing, radio communications, basic flight characteristics, etc.) so that co-pilots can safely land the aircraft in the event that their pilot is in any way incapacitated. If this is something you're interested in, please call us or ask a staff member for more details.

That's all for now! I'll be posting again soon!
