Jacob did a great job preparing pilots for departures and all the weather issues this past weekend!

✈️ Pre-Departure Flight Safety & Weather Briefing | PMOPA 2026

As we prepare to wrap up the PMOPA Convention 2026 at The Broadmoor, Jacob Meyer with Archer Aircraft Instructional Services is leading this afternoon’s Pre-Departure Flight Safety & Weather Briefing.

A great opportunity for our pilots to review weather conditions, discuss flight safety, and prepare for the trip home.

Safety is at the heart of PMOPA, and continuing to learn and make informed decisions is what our pilot community is all about!

Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your time and expertise with our members.

Great sessions!

✈️ **PMOPA 2026 Convention | Continental & Lycoming Technical Sessions**

More valuable learning opportunities today at The Broadmoor as our members heard from industry experts on engine performance, reliability, and preventative maintenance!

🔧 **Continental Aerospace Technologies** – Bill Archer with Archer Aircraft Instructional Services discussed the importance of regular turbo wastegate, fuel hose clamp, and turbine inlet temperature (TIT) probe inspections and maintenance. These are important areas to monitor for engine reliability and safety.

🔧 **Lycoming Engines** – Ferenc Csatlos shared insights on power settings for peak efficiency and reliability, including Rich of Peak (ROP) and Lean of Peak (LOP) operations.

A big thank you to Bill and Ferenc for sharing their technical expertise with our members!

And a special thank you to Rob Finfrock for sending over the session highlights so we could share them with everyone!

This is what makes PMOPA so valuable: bringing pilots, manufacturers, and industry experts together to share knowledge, improve aircraft ownership, and help us all become safer, more informed pilots.

Looking forward to seeing your arrival at KCOS!

Cutter Aviation: Your Host FBO

Cutter Aviation is the host FBO for the 2026 PMOPA Convention at Colorado Springs Airport (KCOS), and their team is ready to welcome PMOPA attendees arriving by air. Cutter will provide aircraft parking, fueling, ground transportation assistance, and other FBO services. We appreciate Cutter Aviation’s support of our Convention and their hospitality in welcoming the PMOPA community to Colorado Springs! A few important things to know before you arrive:

• Contact Cutter airborne: You can reach Cutter Aviation on 131.0 while airborne to let them know you’re on your way.
• IFR arrivals: Please do not cancel IFR in the air. Remain with Colorado Springs Approach; the tower will cancel your flight plan after you land.
• International arrivals: If you will be clearing Customs at Colorado Springs, contact Cutter in advance to obtain clearance to land.
• Follow the ramp team: Cutter ramp agents will be positioned to direct you to the appropriate parking area, typically in front of the FBO or on the south ramp.
• Leave the parking brake OFF: After shutting down, do not set your parking brake. Ramp agents will chock your aircraft and may need to move your aircraft on the ramp.
• Have your fuel order ready: Please provide your fuel order as soon as you pull onto the ramp so Cutter can begin fueling your aircraft promptly.
• Tell Cutter when you’re leaving: Upon arrival, let the ramp team know your planned departure date and time. This will help them determine where to position your aircraft so it will be accessible when you are ready to depart.
With a busy Thursday arrival period expected, a little advance preparation will help make the process smooth for everyone. We look forward to seeing you and your airplane at Cutter Aviation!
