[Pilots] May Stan/Eval newletter

[Greg Bestul]

Hello MN wing pilots,

Hard to believe the snow is finally gone! Soon the cadets will be finishing
school for the summer and ready to do some orientation flights.
A few items to pass on to you this month:
We have completed 29 orientation flights this quarter so far (since April
1), a reminder that to be a successful mission  these flights are supposed
to be 0.8 to 1.2 hours. There have been several that have been below the
0.8 hours.
We have 17 pilot proficiency flights completed so far this quarter, and we
are almost half way through, so if you haven't taken advantage of this
funded flight please try and get out there soon.
The pilots flight clinic is underway, your squadron stan/eval officer will
be completing the ground briefing after which all current TMP's and MP's
will be eligible for the funded flight for proficiency.
An item that came out of wing conference was a discussion on pilot badges.
We have a lot of new pilot members, and many members that have been here a
while and may be able to upgrade their pilot badges. Here is the
guidance from 70-1 and 35-6 for uniforms.
