Major announcement. The picture below was taken at the Frederick Municipal Airport sometime in the 1960s. Harry is on the far right with his dad in the middle. Harry’s dad would take him there to watch the planes take-off and land. Little did Harry know then, that about 20 years later Harry would meet Annabelle (a Designated Pilot Examiner) at this very airport. She would inspire him towards a very single goal in aviation, to become a Designated Pilot Examiner. After being in the examiner pool for the past 18 years, it has finally happened. The FAA has selected Harry as the next Designated Pilot Examiner for the Baltimore FSDO. Harry still has a lot of training to complete. Harry hopes to be conducting checkrides by the spring of 2019. To be in the examiner pool one must fly 300 hours per year just to stay qualified. That means for the last 18 years Harry has logged about 300 flight hours per year, most of which has been in single engine airplanes averaging about 100 knots. That means in the last 18 years he has logged about 5400 hours or 540,000 miles. That means that he could have circled the globe in a Cessna 172 just over 136 times. Harry also logged enough hours in the past 18 years to fly to the moon and back at Cessna 172 speeds.

CFI Notes:

FAA will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking that seeks to raise the weight limit for light sport aircraft from the current 1,320 pounds to 3,600 pounds. “That will allow you to fly in a 172, have four seats in the airplane, and fly 150 mph,” said Pelton, who also anticipates a rule change that would allow professional builders to construct experimental amateur-built aircraft.
