NORWICH – A smiling Russell Carter is the newest private pilot to come out of Norwich Flight Instruction located at the Norwich Airport.
Carter successfully completed his check ride with FAA Designated pilot Examiner, Gary Betig a US Airways captain, on Wednesday, Feb. 28. Carter started his flight training in early September of 2006 with Certified Flight Instructor Fred Stagnaro.
Before completing his flight training Carter had to pass a FAA general knowledge test consisting of aerodynamics, weather systems, FAA operating rules concerning pilot certification and regulations, and navigation within the National Airspace System. In addition to studying for the private pilot knowledge test, Carter’s flight training consisted of aircraft maneuvers and navigation. These maneuvers were comprised of: steep power turns, slow flight, ground reference maneuvers, and flight solely by the use of flight instruments without outside visual reference. In addition to these maneuvers, short and soft filed take-offs and landings were made, as well as Air Traffic Control (ATC) radio communication being practiced.
