![]() Review Winter Weather Flying at This Month's Seminar! Flying in the Pacific Northwest during wintertime is beautiful, but it can bring its own set of challenges to the unprepared pilot. At this month's Second Saturday Seminar, join Willamette Aviation CFI Hannah Neill to get ready for winter flying. With the winter months approaching, Hannah will discuss Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI), aircraft systems, engine preheating, winter weather, and other tips to ensure safe flights as the temperatures drop.

![]() FAA Aviation Charts To Be Published Every 56 Days Starting next year, all FAA aviation charts will be published on a 56-day cycle, improving upon the current publication rate, which ranges from 168 days to as long as two years for some products. Pacific Northwest pilots who use paper charts typically plan to purchase a new Seattle Sectional twice a year, along with other sectionals and Terminal Area Charts (TACs) as necessary. However, the Chart Supplement (formerly Airport/Facility Directory) has been published on a 56-day cycle for some time, with changes to current sectionals noted in Chart Bulletins. Changes to charts also require multiple chart-related NOTAMs.
