Gathering of the Classics

Saturday August 7th

Edenvale Classic Aircraft Foundation's annual Gathering of the Classics is on Saturday August 7th this year and they could use your help. If you would like to volunteer please contact robin@classicaircraft.ca or (705) 309-3007.

Both CMQ and COPA's G1000 glass cockpit equipped Cessna 182 will be on display during the Gathering of the Classics. In order to break the day up we are asking for volunteers to help staff the display. The plan is to have both planes side-by-side so you get to represent the club, COPA Flight 84 and COPA National. COPA president Kevin Psutka will be there too so this is your chance to find out first hand what COPA is up to on a national level.

If you can spare a couple of hours please contact Sam Sciscione at Events@bordenflyingclub.com.

Federally incorporated in 1958 as the Centralia Flying Club, the BFC changed its name after relocating to CFB Borden in 1967. In the fall of 2002 the club moved to Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (CNB9) following Base Borden's decision to close the aerodrome and in March 2007 the club moved to its current home at Edenvale Aerodrome.

The Borden Flying Club is open to everyone. We have something to offer renters, owners and aviation enthusiasts alike. If you would like further information or are interested in becoming a member please contact us at President@bordenflyingclub.com

xx CMQ Maintenance
June 24, 2010, 19:21 by Fred Simpson
During the oil change today we discovered the bracket that one of the lower cowling cam locks secures to was broken. Flew CMQ to Orillia to have it repaired. It is unlikely to be finished before the weekend as Orillia probably has to order parts.

I've booked the flight to the Red Bull race in Windsor until 9:30pm because I don't know what the program is down there. It is quite likely that we'll be back even by 5 or 6 pm so if anybody is thinking about flying Sunday evening, please post a StandBy booking and leave me your cell number - I'll let you know when we leave Windsor giving you at least 2 hours notice. Thanks, Owen

Flight Operations [Post]

smiley Flight Op's Tips
November 07, 2009, 08:19 by vanness
At the board meeting this week a few things came up worth mentioning as a reminder.

First, to set the park brake effectively, apply toe brakes while setting the brake.

Second, now the colder weather is here, if needed, be sure the windshield defrost slides on the dash are fully open.

Third, on returning to the airport, if the runway can't be determined, for safety, I like to recommend everyone over fly the airport at 2000 ft AGL to check out the wind sock.
The CAR's states that one may fly at a lower altitude when observing the field for the purpose of inspection.
However it doesn't say how much lower, that's why the 2000 ft AGL, I believe, is the safest way. Then descend on the upwind side to circuit altitude and cross at mid field to join the circuit.
Cheers and happy flying

The Gyro Compass is currently not working and will be serviced shortly.
In the meantime do not depend upon it for directional assistance...it's just cute to look at for now Smiley!
