KR> Young Eagles

[Sid Wood]

This past Saturday 10/17 I went to Chesapeake Ranch Estates, MD50, for their 
Open House and Young Eagles Rally with EAA Chapter 478. I was scheduled to 
work on the ground keeping paperwork straight and maybe marshal some 
airplane parking. My KR-2 is still in Phase 1.  We were short on pilots and 
aircraft. I was asked to fly a spare airplane, a Cherokee 160, with 180 hp 
engine. I had never rode in such a plane before then. In short order, I got 
checked out and flew my first Young Eagles since 2012. The Chapter pilots 
flew a total of 51 Young Eagles for their first airplane ride plus 6 adults 
as well that day. Our Chapter total since the national inception by EAA in 
1992 is 2208 Young Eagles flown.  Don't know who enjoys this more, the 
pilots or the Young Eagles. Thank you John Attebury for the gracious loan of 
your Cherokee.

Rob,Good job on the young eagle's. We're supposed to have ninety kids this 
Saturday. I don't think I'm going to be able to fly. The medical people at 
the FAA are sitting on there asses playing the game. Who are we going to 
*%/=! with this week.
I guess it's okay for me to drive thousands of gallons of hazardous 
materials all over the country. But flying a little Cessna once a month is 
totally out of the question. I don't get it.
Sorry about the rant guys. I'm not close of losing my medical. A lot of you 
guys know how I feel about Young Eagles and it just hurts not being able to 
fly.

Joe,

Congrats on the 10th anniversary! I'm not too far behind you at 8 1/2 years 
and 670+ hours. Still having a ton of fun myself.

I put in 4.5 hours myself this last weekend. Flew Young Eagles an Saturday 
and then did a breakfast run Sunday.

KR> Young Eagles Rally

What to do when your EAA Chapter 478 has a Young Eagles Rally, your KR-2 is 
still serving a Phase 1, 40-hour sentence, and the local FBO, that you 
normally rent a C-150, just went out of business?   Take off the upper cowl 
and do a pre-flight show & tell briefing for the 155 kids signed up to fly 
that morning at the Rally.  I did 4 to 8 kids at a time so that the pilots 
did not need to take the ten minutes or so to do the brief for each flight. 
That really helped speed up air operations.  Plus the kids were able to 
actually see an aircraft engine.  I only did the briefing 27 times.
We managed to fly 132 Young Eagles using 14 aircraft before thunder storms 
shut us down.  The other 23 got first debs for our First Responders Rally 
for August.

I have been a member of EAA for about 19 years and used to fly at least 10 
young eagles a year when I had my KR. EAA is EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION

I was told by our local EAA powers-that-be that flying Young Eagles in 
experimental aircraft was frowned upon by just about everybody involved, EAA 
at OSH included, although you may not find that in writing anywhere.  And 
being afraid to leave my local treeline, I'm also reluctant to give myself 
the opportunity to kill any teenagers other than my own.  Wrong attitude on 
my part, but that's the reality of the US legal system, or lack thereof

Guess I better clarify that . . . my "humor" doesn't come through very
well most of the time.  Plus, the board is rife with misunderstandings
just now.

I was trying to be funny.  I've only got one seat in my "aircraft."

KR> Young Eagles Flights

[Ray Fuenzalida]

It's not 100% bogus.  if you are flying scouts,BSA guidelines will not allow 
them to fly in experimentals.  As a scoutmaster, a pilot and one day completed 
KR2S builder I have taken many young eagles flying.  just about all of our boys 
have their aviation merit badges and it was clearly told to us by District that 
only certificated planes could be used.
But other young eagles can fly in anything that actually flys.

That is a bogus report that seems to surface pretty regularly.  There is no 
restriction on using an experimental aircraft for Young Eagles.  

Reference 
<http://www.youngeagles.org/volunteers/resources/content/YE%20Resource%20-%20EAA%20Young%20Eagle%20Pilot%20Guidelines.pdf>
or easier yet Google "Young Eagle Pilot Requirements".

The requirements sheet does state that your aircraft has to be in an airworthy 
condition and have passenger liability insurance.  Those are the only 
references to the aircraft itself.

It would be kind of ironic for the Experimental Aircraft Association to not 
allow Experimental Aircraft.  However, that is not the case.

Yes, my KR has been used for Young Eagles.

[Ed Janssen]

Just a clarification for those suggesting that KR are not "certified" 
aircraft - KR aircraft ARE "certified" aircraft, just as Pipers, Cessnas, 
etc. are.  KRs are just placed in a different "category" - the 
"Experimental" Category with the purpose of  "Operating Amateur-Built". 
Pipers, Cessnas and the like are certified aircraft placed in the "Standard" 
category.  To generally imply that an experimental aircraft is necessarily 
less safe than a standard category airplane would be irresponsible.

Thanks Jeff. I'm heading to the EAA 479 meeting tonight. I'll check into 
it there. It may be a local thing, or may not be an issue at all. News

We fly lots of young eagles in experimentals.  The boy scout troops  
specifically have rules against it, so they fly in the certified  
craft.  I've never seen a KR used, but RVs, Glassirs, Lancair, our EAA  
chapter president flys 'em in his Falco.  We have an event this  
weekend at the local airport as well.

My son is eighteen and some of his friends asked for rides, they were under
eighteen (just) and considered minors in Australia. I would not take them
for a flight without permission from their parents.

Well Guys ,
I did something a little different this morning. I went to my
son's 5th grade class and did a little lecture on flying, building my own
airplane, and flying it. Then handed out Young Eagles schedule for our
airport. 
I'm really pretty pleased at how well received I was and what I thought I
would have trouble talking for a half hour turned into an hour. I'm
pretty certain that I got to at least half of the 50 kids that were
there. Some good questions asked and I worked on talking about things
that I knew they had studied about this year so they had an idea how some
of what they learned could be used in life.

Joe,
When I was in the third grade I had the privilege of hearing an Air 
Force pilot come to our mixed Third/Fourth grade class and teach us 
about aerodynamics. Even at that age, I understood the Bernoulli 
principle and the principles of flight from the way in which he 
presented it. Since then I have a keen interest in aviation. As a 
teacher and father of five, I want to thank you for taking the time to 
visit and share your knowledge with students in school. It's the adult 
connections kids make that help them succeed in life. Kudos to Joe and 
to all of you who share with the upcoming generation.
