PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
September
is here….back to school, back to work, back to PAMA! Yea!!! The
first meeting after our
summer break….and we are going to talk about engines…Yessss!
Thank You Standard Aero.
Turbine engines have been my core business since, well, forever, so
if I seem a little amped up over
compressors, N1, N2, & related MRO discussions, it’s because
that’s my paycheck and passion. OK, OK, emphasis on the paycheck!
Not that I haven’t enjoyed all the other presentations …
our Chapter boasts some of the finest OEM & aftermarket suppliers
in the industry today – all at the top of their game
sharing cutting edge news with us lucky SoCal folks. Our September Guest
Speaker wears two hats, like
many of us do ... Mr. John Boomhower is not only the Director of Sales,
Business Aviation Engines for
Standard Aero’s Tacoma WA facility, but is the President of Professional
Aviation Maintenance
Foundation (PAMF), PAMA National’s Scholarship organization. In
addition to his presentation, John will
take a few minutes to discuss how PAMF can work with the SoCal PAMA
Chapter. Welcome John!
Although we share the same first name & body physiques, I do not
have 8 gold medals to show for my
summer break like Mr. Phelps does. But I have been keeping busy preparing
for the 9th Annual Rotorcraft
Support, Helicopter Specific IA Renewal Training Seminar set for Oct.
16th at the Burbank Airport
Marriott Hotel. This has become a very popular & well attended event
for fixed wing as well as rotorcraft
IA’s, so check out P. 5 for info if you still need your annual
refresher training.
* * * President’s
Challenge * * *
And finally, just to clean out those summer cobwebs, I’m tossing
an easy one at you in honor of
our upcoming IA Renewal Training Seminar: “Name the four methods
for controlling the torque to the
helicopter airframe caused by the rotation of the Main Rotor”.
The winner will receive the $25.00
gift certificate to the 94th Aero Squadron. Winner must be present,
but you can e-mail me in
advance if you like.
With that I will sign off and see you on the 9th …Be sure to be
there and bring a friend. And remember
what I always say….even the best pilot can’t fly until you
say it’s OK. mb/ge
Mike
