Annual Inspection Approach Flight Plan 
Plane and Pilot
NOVEMBER 10, 2024
Individuals can attend training classes to obtain an LSA repairman certificate that, with the right endorsements, allows them to perform maintenance, including annual inspections, on their LSAs. Vso approach speed is 53 knots. There are other options, including a three-blade Sensenich prop ($1,100). It actually feels slower.

A pilot’s worst fearwas to look down at an EFB and see the infamous “blue screen of death” on an IFR flight while setting up for an approach. The scenario gets worse as you go to restart the device and see the message “Configuring Windows update 1 of 15…” as you near the final approach fix.

Now, instead of showing up in flight ops and finding my flight planning had all been done for me by my dispatcher, I was now the dispatcher. KMPO is an non-towered field as are several other places I fly to and from on an IFR flight plan. We would shoot some approaches there, then return IFR to PGD.

If the inspection hasn’t been performed and signed off by the proper maintenance technician within the required timeframe, the airplane isn’t allowed to fly. Before flying, a pilot must verify these inspections have been performed by looking in the maintenance logs. Even in flight, these considerations are constantly evaluated.

About 30 miles out I called Approach Control, told ’em I was VFR and squawking 0600. It was fun to realize that I hadn’t filed a flight plan, I didn’t have a release signed by a company dispatcher and me, and I really didn’t know where I was going and didn’t care except that it was west.
