List of Places to fly with kids?

Hey dad can I have the airplane for a date on Saturday? I promise to
have it home before IMC ;-)

That will work out well.
Jay and Mary take their days off in the middle of the week,
Joe and Becka get the airplane on alternating weekends.




AAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

;-)

Or, maybe this one...

Dad, Becka and I are going to take Atlas to Florida for Spring Break.
Can we have the credit card? You know... for gas and stuff?
I promise we'll swap every other leg. We won't fight over it...
Don't worry, if the sun isn't shining, we won't fly.

Be VERY careful about booster seats! In many cases, they are not
permitted per FAA regs. This month's AOPA magazine has a very good
article about child restraint devices and how/where to seat children in
airplanes, specifically dealing with GA.

Jay,
Have you tried a booster style seat for Becca? If she can see over the
panel her interest may rise.

Radio work Jay. First easy step, have him announce your taxi
progress on
unicom. Work with him a little prior to getting in the plane. Next
step,
initial call ups after freq changes while using flight following.
Nothing
complicated, just report on the freq at what ever altitude. After that,
coach him on pattern announcements.



Great minds think alike, Jim. Joe's been practicing on the radio for
the last few months.

We flew last night as per Michelle's recommendation. Joe and I on
the flight out, Bec and Mary on the flight back. It worked out pretty
well, although Becca still can't see over the dashboard, so all of her
flying is IFR.... :-)

Joe did okay, but usually I can let him get us down to about 50 feet
off the runway before I take over. We had a wicked cross wind, with
MUCH higher winds at altitude, so he was having a terrible time
keeping the runway in its proper place in the patter -- so I took over
at 1000 AGL.

All in all, an enjoyable flight for all, and I got to sit in the back
and enjoy the limitless leg room that sitting behind two 5 footers
allows!

Jay - How about Duluth, MN - hiking, beautiful scenery, big ships, lots
of cool stuff.

I wonder if at age 11, the FAA still wants Jay to position Becca backwards
in that booster seat???

Agreed. I 100% recommend Duluth for a family visit.

Hey, the FAA is older than 11...
