years ago, he and Janet have a
gained a tremendous fondness
for the island life and the
people. Several years ago they
acquired some property at
Mineral Point and look forward
to building their dream home
there. Chris says, “We try to
spend most of our free time in
the islands, summer and
winter.”
Regarding his flying, Chris said,
“I started flying when I was in
high school and worked as a
flight instructor and pilot until I
finished college with a
business/finance degree. I went on to fly corporate in several business jets, mostly Lear jets and
Falcons. Then I did a stint flying checks and night freight. I decided I needed to do my part for Uncle
Sam so I volunteered to do military charter operations in Europe and the Middle East for in the early
90s. I started with America West airlines, currently US Air about 20 years ago. Most of my
experience in commercial aviation has been in B737, B757, B747 and Airbus aircraft where I have
spent the last 10 years as a captain on the Airbus family of aircraft. Recently I have been trying to
get back to my roots in general aviation flying mostly single engine Cessna’s and Pipers. and
generally just getting reacquainted with the true joy of aviation. When I am not flying, I enjoy playing
golf (or at least trying to) and fishing, and just spending time with my family.”

Save Some 100LL -
With avgas prices at dizzying heights, a little power
reduction can result in some serious long-term savings.
Here in the San Juan’s a typical trip to Seattle’s Boeing
Field takes about 45 minutes. Using an average
altitude of 5,000 feet, and an average airplane (Cessna
182N), and flying 75 miles, at the higher power setting
below, it’s .48 hours and 6.43 gallons. At the lower
power setting, it’s .52 hours and 5.72 gallons.
The logged time is rounded to .5 hr in each case, with
the fuel savings of .71 gallons. If the fuel price is $4.35,
you have saved $3.09, for each 75 miles flown, at the cruise settings listed below. For the round-trip, you’d
save over $6, or enough to buy an entire cup of coffee at Starbuck’s.
Add to it the ability to lean to peak (on this normally-aspirated, carbureted engine) at the 60% power setting,
and the savings are likely more pronounced, not only in fuel consumption, but engine life.
Fuel saving steps do have their limits, however.
NOT RECOMMENDED:
No run-up
No tank-sumping.
Take-offs at 50% power.
Climbing to 7,500 feet over Oak Harbor and dead-sticking into Boeing.

Safety Concerns
SJPA board member Dick Babbitt points out the August issue of Callback, the newsletter of NASA’s
Aviation Safety Reporting System. Its topic, Interrupted Checklists, points out that distractions during
checklists have caused many accidents and near-accidents, including countless gear-up landings.
Callback is the monthly newsletter of ASRS. Email subscriptions can be made at their web site,

We’ll Leave a Light On For You - As discussed in last month’s newsletter, full-time landing lights in our
dense traffic environment add greatly to the goal of see-and-be-seen. Dick’s recent response to an ATC
traffic call, “We’re looking for the traffic, with our lights on,” got a response from the other aircraft, “We’re
looking, too, and will turn on our lights.”
Up, Up and Awaay … Uh, Oh! - We all know that, if the fire goes out on take-off, we’re going to land on
something straight ahead. Yet, accident reports are full of those of us who instinctively do a 180 at about
