30 Wednesday, June 26, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon FLIGHT: Program has turned out many young pilots Continued from page 3 Flight Science program at SHS has expanded to three classes, and Outlaw Aviation at the Sisters Airport has grown to three airplanes and three Certificated Flight Instructors (CFI). The classes have been offered at SHS for six years, and are taught by Sheryl Yeager, also a CFI. It9s the collaboration between the organizations that makes the program so unique and successful. <Outlaw Aviation is an exceptional operation. With the classes at SHS, and the flight instruction talents of Sam Monte, Walt Lasecki and Kristin Berg, it is the perfect combination that can put the right flight instructor with every student. It9s no wonder that they are creating so many private pilots,= said Brian Lansburgh, also a CFI. <In the beginning when I didn9t know anything about aviation, I started with the Flight Science class and the weekly evening ground school at the airport. Then as I advanced, the intensive one- on-one study time with Walt, and flight lessons with Sam at Outlaw Aviation prepared me for the written and oral FAA exams,= said Schutte. All the teachers at SHS support the students9 com- mitment necessary for flight training. <My other teachers were super understanding and sup- portive if I was late to class because I had been up fly- ing,= noted Perle. The final test to earning a pilot license is a rigorous oral and practical in-flight exam which can take up to six hours. <I was nervous at first, but then as I was able to answer the questions, I realized how much I really do know.

Well done!= said Sam Monte, CFI. “Both Luka and Trever have an exciting future ahead in aviation. When asked what advice Perle would give to students aspiring to become pilots, he said, <Set intermediate goals with dates on when you9re going to achieve them. Don9t procrastinate and leave everything for the end. And it9s important to fly regularly, or else you forget and have to relearn skills.= <Both Luka and Trever have an exciting future ahead in aviation. Their flight train- ing has given them valuable life skills far beyond most high school kids. They9ve become responsible adults and proficient pilots over the last four years,= said Sheryl Yeager, CFI and SHS Flight Science teacher. Both Perle and Schutte have chosen to make com- mercial aviation their career path, and will be continuing their flight training at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) next year. They plan to continue instruction with Outlaw Aviation for their instrument and commercial pilot ratings while earning a degree in aviation. The cur- rent and forecast commercial pilot shortage ensures a pro- fession in very high demand. <They have a signifi- cant head start in the COCC program because they have already earned their private certificate, and will receive credit for those classes. They will also be eligible to inter- view with Alaska/Horizon Airlines for a sponsorship at COCC. Taking full advantage of the Flight Science program in high school was the smart- est way to get started. We are very proud of both of them,= said Walt Lasecki, CFI with Outlaw Aviation. DECK: Restaurant is open for business Building owners should main- tain at least three feet of clear- ance between buildings and combustible materials.= Continued from page 1 potential to do a lot of damage to surrounding buildings and structures. The Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District responded to 10 bark-mulch fires in 2018. Fire District personnel rec- ommend creating defensible space around your home or business. Defensible space is essential to protect a structure from direct flame or radiant heat. Using non-combustible ground cover in areas suscep- tible to careless disposal of smoking materials is essential to creating a defensible space. These areas include along sidewalks, near business entrances, throughout apart- ment complexes, and other public spaces. Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District Chief Roger Johnson said, <Bark mulch should never come in contact with a building or combusti- ble material such as a deck or fence attached to a building. Smoking materials should be disposed of into a non-combustible metal or clay container. Smoking materials should be disposed of into a non- combustible metal or clay container. Before disposing of materials, ensure they are cool to the touch. Fire offi- cials recommend that busi- ness owners develop and enforce guidelines for smok- ing on their property. Smoke in areas away from things that burn such as bark mulch land- scaping, combustible vegeta- tion and planters.
