EAA Chapter 104 will be meeting at Louie’s Hangar on Monday November 11th at KVPZ at 6:30pm. This month’s topic is planned to be Care and Feeding of your Ignition System… Magnetos to Spark plugs!!
This seminar will be held at the EAA 104 Chapter Room.
The title of the seminar is Controlled Flight Into Terrain and Over-Reliance on Automation. From the FAASafety.gov website:
An over-reliance on automation may be a precursor to a flying mishap, regardless if the flight is in daylight hours or during night flight conditions. General aviation pilots are well-advised to understand the limitations of automation and to maintain proficiency in flight operations with and without automation.

EAA 104 Member Ed Hanson wanted to share the following…
Just a reminder we will conduct our mini ground school with the Porter County Public Library System this Saturday September 14th from 2 pm to 4 pm in the Chapter room. At least 6 teens have signed up so far. The topics we will highlight include aerodynamics, aircraft systems and instruments, FAA regulations, navigation and communications, aviation weather, and pilot qualifications. I will do a short introduction talk then if the weather is good we will walk them to the ramp to look over an aircraft pointing out the various parts and instruments.
Ed Hanson
We will then have whoever wants to talk cover the subject topics. I can cover weather at the end as I can adjust my time to fit whatever is available. Please step up and share your knowledge with the pilots of tomorrow. This is a low key event and everyone usually joins in the discussion. Thanks for your help! Please share this information with other members who are not listed on this email.
Please consider volunteering for this event. You can use our contact form or contact Ed directly.
Our September meeting will include a FAAST Seminar starting at 7pm (registration encouraged). This will be held at the EAA Chapter 104 club room at KVPZ. Arrivals begin at 6:30pm and the seminar will start at 7pm. Regular chapter meeting to follow.
In the seminar, “Preflight After Maintenance,” we will discuss the importance of thorough preflight inspections of aircraft that have just been returned to service. The discussion will include the consequences of inadequate preflight inspections, some common problems that have led to accidents, and what to look for following maintenance.

Your club needs YOU this Saturday, August 21st…
EAA 104 will have two education stations and members are needed to staff both. One will demonstrate preflight planning and the other will demonstrate preflight aircraft inspection.
Help for those activities and help in the form of demonstration aircraft are needed.
I can bring my plane down again if needed but would like to let other members show their planes as well.
Ed Hanson
EAA 104 is planning to bring down two airplanes and Kyle will be making a coned box on the ramp in front of the pavilion so the public can stay in the box and Kyle can keep the ramp hot.
You can find out more information about the event itself on our events page.
