Kirk Fryar

A

vionics News recently visited with Kirk Fryar,
president of Sarasota Avionics, to learn more
about his experience as a pilot.

What is your favorite or most memorable moment as a pilot?

My most memorable flying moment was when I went

of Sarasota Avionics

into IFR conditions unexpectedly while descending into an
airport. I was at 1,000 feet, then went down to 800 feet
and then to 600 feet. At that point, I decided I needed to
get out of there. So I turned sharply to go back where I
knew the weather was clear; a big no-no. I immediately
got spatial disorientation and was completely lost. The
GPS failed at the same time, and it felt like I could not
control the airplane; I was all over the sky. I remember
looking at the altimeter reading 400 feet, and I couldn't
tell if I was going up or down. I remember thinking my
dad would say, "Just fly the airplane you dummy, and trust
your instruments." My dad never thought he had such
an impact on me, but that is exactly what I did. I got my
horizon centered and turned to HDG of west because I
knew it was clear and returned back to my home airport.
How long have you been flying?

I have been flying since I was a boy with my dad; I think
I could fly an airplane before I could drive a car. I received
my license in 1998, while I was attending Colorado Aero
Tech at Jefferson County airport - back when you could
fly over the Mile High Stadium at 500 feet and not get in
