The Winter Howl FNO

Posted by Chris Schiessl on 11/30/2024

Bundle up and prepare for The Winter Howl FNO! Where winter's chill meets the thrill of flying! On Friday, December 6th, join us for an exciting evening spanning the frosty expanse of the Northeastern United States. This event features extensive ATC coverage from the region's major centers: ZBW, ZNY, ZOB, ZDC, and ZID. With this broad ATC coverage, you'll experience seamless guidance and support as you traverse one of the country's most dynamic and challenging airspaces.

Each flight will offer a unique opportunity to master winter operations and showcase your ability to handle complex scenarios with finesse.

As you soar through this winter wonderland, keep an eye out for the subtle signs of the season's wildlife. From the elusive coyote tracks in the snow to the graceful flight of snowy owls, the beauty of winter's natural inhabitants will add a touch of magic to your experience. Just as these creatures adapt to the cold, you'll need to adapt to the challenging weather conditions, making each approach and landing a true test of skill and adaptability.

Don’t miss out on this chance to elevate your skills and connect with fellow aviation enthusiasts in a festive setting. Mark your calendars for December 6th, from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm ET (2359-0400z), and get ready to immerse yourself in a winter wonderland like never before. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or new to the virtual skies, The Winter Howl promises an evening of exhilarating flying and vibrant community spirit.
