Bylaws- addition of a Corporate/Business member category: M/Richard LaFrancis, S/Harry Craviotto, V/Unanimous to add a corporate/sponsor membership of $50 annually. This would include a business card advertisement in newsletters and flyers, similar to that of IAA and other organizations. Community Action- M/Richard, S/Elsbeth, V/Unanimous to research the airport s accounts related to county income and expenses. This would include land/building leases, property and fuel taxes, and uses by other county agencies (land, buildings, and services). The Airport Advisory Board also needs this information. Old Business: Social Event to Welcome New Airport Director: M/Harry, S/Charlie, V/Unanimous to spend $100 for beverages (and cups). Resort Aviation will be providing the food and venue. AOPA is interested in having COE host a 2018 regional fly-in for the northwest region, but for concern that Seattle is a bit beyond their 250- mile radius for event locations. AOPA field rep Chris Eads is checking out MSO later this week and would like a ride to COE to check out this locale. City Manager and Airport Advisory Board member Brett Boyer is interested in having a flyover during the Hayden Days parade. Richard LaFrancis spoke on the state of the museum. M/Elsbeth, S/Charlie, V/Unanimous to adjourn at 7:05 p.m. The Cd'AAA recommends that hangar owners and renters be pro -active about preventing trouble at the airport and participating in airport watch activities.

Learn the essential skills to safely fly yourself to new adventures in the backcountry. All of our pilots expressed how fun the class was, and also professed to a new level of confidence in their ability to safely access challenging airstrips while managing risks. If you'd like to get in on the fun, click the button below and sign up soon - we need a couple of pilots to make the class go. You'll be glad you did! Interested pilots can call or schedule@flylatitudeaviation.com. More info on these classes is also available at Latitude would like to thank the Coeur d Alene Airport Association for helping spread the word, as well as our pilot customers that made this kind of workshop possible.

For more info, contact Elsbeth Roach, roachie423@gmail.com or Air Coeur's Mooney J20 The Heat is On BY MICHAEL ADAMS, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AVEMCO INSURANCE COMPANY, July 2017 Summers heat is now upon us. One of the perks of being a pilot is that when temperatures climb, so can you, right up to altitude where it s nice and cool. But to get there, you first need to get safely off the ground. As you know, wings generate lift by interacting with air, and engines develop power by combining fuel with air. Then propellers turn power into thrust by reacting with the air. Anything that reduces the density of air will reduce the airplane s performance. And the hotter the air, the less dense it becomes. That s why it s even more important to make a takeoff distance calculation before taking off on a hot day. You need to know you have enough runway to get off the ground. Runway temperatures can be as much as 40 F hotter than what the AWOS or ATIS says on a sunny summer day. Plan for that and adjust your takeoff distance calculations appropriately. You might want to get the temperature from your airplane s Outside Air Temperature gauge in addition to the AWOS or ATIS to use on your takeoff performance chart. It s not the heat, it s the humidity. How many times have you heard that old summer cliché? But does humidity do anything to airplane performance? According to the FAA s Pilot s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge 1 : The small amount of water vapor suspended in the atmosphere may be almost negligible under certain conditions, but in other conditions humidity may become an important factor in the performance of an aircraft. Water vapor is lighter than air; consequently, moist air is lighter than dry air. Therefore, as the water content of the air increases, the air becomes less dense, increasing density altitude and decreasing performance. It is lightest or least dense when, in a given set of conditions, it contains the maximum amount of water vapor As temperature increases, the air can hold greater amounts of water vapor. When comparing two separate air masses, the first warm and moist (both qualities tending to lighten the air) and the second cold and dry (both qualities making it heavier), the first necessarily must be less dense than the second. Pressure, temperature and humidity have a great influence on airplane performance, because of their effect upon density. This tells us that high humidity has a negative effect on aircraft performance. Yet I m not aware of any Pilots Operating Handbook or other source that provides Performance Chart adjustments for high humidity. If the humidity is high say, above 50 or 60% it may be wise to add additional length to the runway requirements over what the takeoff performance chart says to account for moist air. You might also want to plan for a decreased rate of climb, especially if you have to clear an obstacle. To make sure you reach that cool air on hot summer days please spend a few minutes in the books accounting for takeoff performance loss when the heat is on! Page 5
