Hi All,
Western Michigan is again in the grip of a large winter storm again. Today
this storm caused massive disruption all across the western parts of the state.
Rain prior to the snow falls caused very icy roads, accidents were plentiful,
schools were closed all over the place and just moving from A to B became a
major challenge.
Ron left early this morning for a trip to Grand Rapids for an oral exam
with the FAA to renew his IA. He drove all the way in this weather on
treacherous roads. He passed the test and made the trip safely. I did not go to
the hangar this morning to start the 100hr inspection simply because of the
weather. Ron and I drove ithe 20 miles to the airport shortly after lunch when
the snow had abated a little. We just had time to go through some paperwork and
get our planning for tomorrow's work.
The picture above is of our drive home where virtually
all the roads are almost not visible despite snow ploughs working overtime
today. Visibility is limited and driving is dangerous. All this very new to me,
but it all becomes very tiring just to get simple things done.
For Ron, getting his IA renewed was another major job
ticked off. I spent the time today arranging all the correct navigation
databases and approach plates for our route of flight, purchased and downloaded
read for installation in the Kodiak.
Hopefully we can get
some better weather tomorrow to get the 100 hr properly under
way.
John
