On May 18 2024, the Sedona 99s student pilots gathered at the Sedona airport for a training session focusing on unusual chart symbols. Sam Ellington, a Cottonwood and Prescott-based CFI, led the training by pointing out unusual symbols found in our area, what the symbols mean, and why they show up.
All pilots know the importance of understanding these chart symbols when navigating cross country in Arizona. And, as an added bonus, during a checkride, a DPE may point to an unusual symbol and ask questions. Our student pilots will surely nail this part of the checkride!
We, the Sedona 99s pilots and students, are grateful to Sam for taking the time to share his knowledge and presenting the information in a fun and engaging way. We also appreciate his overall support and encouragement to future pilots.
