Do-It-Yourself ADS-B Build Your Own FlightBox Receiver By Phil Lightstone

about $350 USD. However, you can get into a FlightBox for as little as $200 USD if you’re handy with a screwdriver. A step-by-step video (about 12 minutes) on the FlightBox Web site openflight- solutions.com/flightbox/ shows the simple build process. The case is sturdy and has been designed around the Raspberry PI computer circuit board and the antenna connectors. It has the necessary holes in the case to accom- modate the ADS-B antenna connectors, power connectors and fan. The external case is exceptionally small and fits almost anywhere. FlightBox has sourced a USB attached WAAS GPS receiver. This replaces your external GPS puck. There are a number of options for power. As the FlightBox is a small computer, it is a bit power hungry.

C OPA For Kids 2016 39 Flights Fly 3,372 Junior Aviators story By Patrick Gilligan | photos by gustavo corUjo

At total of 3,372 kids were flown in 39 properly registered COPA For Kids events at COPA flights across Canada in 2017. That increased the total number of Canadian kids flown to 23,070.

and in third, Flight 50, Penticton, BC with 195 kids flown. And, there were nine other COPA flights who each flew more than 100 kids during their events. Those are impressive numbers, congratulations to everyone who participated in 2016. Unfortunately, at the time of writing one COPA Flight may have flown the most kids of all had not yet submitted the CFK signed forms to COPA National. The names of all the pilots and participants were entered into our online logbook, which is on the COPA For Kids website www.copaforkids.org and also on EAA’s Young Eagles logbook http:// youngeagles.org/logbook. The COPA Flights that participated last year did a great job of advertising their event within their community. Some flights placed ads in their local papers, ran messag- es on their local radio stations, and distribut- ed flyers to schools and other youth groups. Another great way of advertising your upcoming event would be to register your event on our website www.copaforkids.org/ content/ManageEvents.cfm.

Ciaanad n Private Fleet Hits Zero Growth in 2016 Demographics and Economics Combine to Flatten Aviation Market by Adam Hunt

Growth in the Canadian private civil aircraft fleet was essentially flat in 2016, growing by just 34 aircraft, or 0.12 percent, essentially nil growth. This was the lowest number record- ed since the turn of the millennium and far worse than at any time during the recession of 2008-2010. Since 2001 the best growth we have seen was in 2008, just before the recession hit, when the private fleet grew at a peak rate of 3.2 percent. As the accompanying graph shows this is not a one year blip, but is a long term structural change happening in private flying, one that is being driven by some larger economic and demographic forces. The forces at work here probably in- fleet decreased by 28 aircraft and the state growth of 101 in 2015.
