Recently he posted a video about a flight to St. Paul Minnesota (KSTP), the twin cities.

The winter flying season is officially here, which means we have a new set of challenges to deal with while flying in sub-freezing temperatures. Flight training doesn’t need to stop in the winter though; in fact the colder months provide some great opportunities to expand your knowledge on weather and aircraft operations in less than ideal conditions.

Perhaps it was a technical issue and it wasn’t processed like it should have been in IACRA. Perhaps they forgot the exact month due to the month of the year changing at some point in their long tenure as a CFI. Now you’re stuck and trying to figure out how to get it back… so what are the options?
