The Metropolitan State University Precision Flight team under the Leadership of Captains Michael McMinn, Declan Kreck, and Roxanne Kruse, who are also supported by Kate Yorga (CFI/Landing coach) and Zoe Hafner (Manager) competes in national flight competitions that examine pilot precision and accuracy. After our 2nd place performance at regionals, we landed a guaranteed spot for nationals in Janesville, WI! We are preparing and practicing to compete in a multitude of events that include flying and ground knowledge. These events include:
Power On/Off Landings; Navigation; Message Drop; E6B; SCAN; Aircraft ID; IFR Sim; VFR Sim; Crew Resource Management Sim; CFI Event; Loening Trophy
The Precision Flight Team practices twice a week to work on ground events and flying to increase pilot proficiency and performance. On Fridays you'll find us in the classroom working on E6B calculations, studying for SCAN, reviewing aircraft manufacturers, and practicing in the simulators. All team members meet at Erie Municipal Airport to work on our piloting skills and practice for our landings and message drop competitions. We look forward to additional support to increase our practice times to benefit our pilots and our performance at nationals. Through teamwork, dedication, and academics we strive to compete not for ourselves but for our community and academic programs.
