Jim Kmetz after action briefing

I've printed this map in full (legal) size and smaller (letter) sized prints. Keep in mind that this is not an official FAA or Midwest publication, but it is merely a compilation of several hand drawn reference pieces that were being used when I came to Bloomington ATCT. While I've made it as accurate as I think I can, reference to this map, and a later challenge that "I did it according to the "map"" will not stand muster with the FAA.

That's my official disclaimer if the FAA ever asks me about it. I use this daily, I reference it for distances remaining for takeoff on a weekly basis so I trust it.

If you have any questions about this map direct them to me. If you have any questions about operating around the airport please direct them to Kelly Serna, Tower manager. If anyone has any comments (positive/negative), concerns and anything to say about the presentation I gave, you can also direct them to Kelly. I'm sure she want's to hear how it goes beyond the fact that I'll tell her it was Great and everyone enjoyed it.

I will let Kelly know that you meet weekly, and that if she has any issues that might be of interest to your members that she can contact you and have any issues aired very quickly.

I appreciate the opportunity to have made this presentation to your group and hope that I cleared up any problems anyone had, or answered questions that they may have needed answered and look forward to working with the pilots at the airport.

    Begin forwarded message: From: beck8@comcast.net Subject: British Imperial Airways 1930's Date: January 14, 2014 10:36:14 PM EST            British Imperial Airways 1930's Flying the airlines in the thirties was a lot more fun than it is now. It was more leisurely and had more class. Certain elitist and anti-British people have no time for these period "rich types". People like these, the risk takers (especially with their own money) were the backbone of the UK. They flew from the first airline operations across the Channel in 1919.   If people had serious money in the 1930s and traveled internationally, they may well have flown on one of these large (130 foot wingspan) Handley Page bi-plane aircraft, which were the mainstay of British Imperial Airways at the time. They carried 26 passengers in first class only, in three d

LSO's and landing T Sparks

A long winded discussions on the role the LSO plays in landing on the carrier. After 900+ they have saved my bacon more than once. All the best, Tim The Lords of Landing "Right for lineup...don't go low...a little power...." At sea, the last word belongs to... by Peter Garrison The A-6E Intruder bomber thunders past the USS Abraham Lincoln's starboard side and rolls into a nearly vertical left bank. Condensation flickers above its swept wings like white fire; its airspeed bleeds rapidly from 300 knots to 150 under the drag of the five-G turn. In the cockpit, the inflatable G-suit snaps tightly around Lieutenant Brian Kasperbauer's legs. His eyes dart from the dancing blur of black instruments to the horizon beyond. Parallel to the aircraft carrier, Kasperbauer rolls level. Check speed, dirty up with gear and flaps, double-check tailhook down. Twice he lifts himself slightly from his se
