![]() IFR Flight Planning at This Month's Safety Briefing! If you have an Instrument Rating, then you know how much work goes into planning and completing an IFR flight. And if you're thinking about getting an instrument rating, you probably wonder how the workload differs from cross-country flights in visual conditions. At this month's Summer Safety Briefing, Willamette Aviation CFII Nikita Mehta will present IFR: Planning & Flight, which will offer a detailed review of operations in IMC. The seminar's flight scenario will cover the departure, en route and arrival phases, with additional emphasis on preparation, currency, proficiency, regulatory compliance, efficiency, and safety within the IFR structure. If you think an instrument rating might be in your future, don't miss this one!

![]() Short Finals… · We're happy to welcome Nikita Mehta to our flight instruction team at Willamette Aviation! Nikita's journey to becoming a pilot started in India, where she developed a love for aviation and enjoyed traveling to new places. She knew she wanted to make flying a career when she sat in a cockpit for the first time. After passing her knowledge exams in India, Nikita moved to Farmingdale, NY to begin her flight training. She then relocated to the high desert in Redmond, Ore., to complete her Commercial and CFI certificates, followed by her CFII at Hillsboro. She credits outstanding instructors along the way who made the learning process exciting, with each certificate and rating treated as an accomplishment, rather than a stepping stone along the way. "It's how I teach my students," she says. "I celebrate their achievements the same way that I celebrated my own."
