    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE JUNE/JULY 2016 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com Finding a fi x for TFRs Just about anyone who has planned a fl ight in or near a major metro area has had to worry about temporary fl ight restrictions (TFRs) at one time or another. Scrolling through dozens, even hundreds, of NOTAMs to identify TFRs that are relevant to your fl ight can be daunting. The sheer number can make it easy to miss something. But when you have access to good graphics, you can instantly see if a TFR will a ect your fl ight. Unfortunately, graphics aren’t available for every TFR. And when graphics are unavailable or are inaccurate, the number of violations goes way up. That’s why AOPA will be helping to lead an e ort to improve TFR graphics, from how the information is delivered to how it is depicted. Back in 2015, we started asking questions about the scope and extent of problems we were seeing with TFRs that either had no graphics or, maybe worse, showed incorrect graphics. After uncovering recurring issues, we asked the FAA to provide an authoritative online source of TFR information, provide TFR information in a consistent format so that automated systems used by third-party vendors can translate it into accurate graphics, and work to make the text of TFR NOTAMs more user friendly for pilots. This April, the FAA responded by formally tasking the RTCA Tactical Operations Committee to address the issues we raised and report back with recommendations within six months.

  • Let Us Treat Your Aircraft to the Best in Cockpit Technology
    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com ATC Not for Sale Former US Airways pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, famously known for his successful landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River has spoken out against air tra c control privatization (H.R. 2997)—and he’s asking fellow pilots to do the same. With more than 50 years of industry experience, including general aviation, military, and airline, Sullenberger asserts that privatizing ATC “would allow a corporate monopoly to make decisions that put profi ts ahead of safety and would devastate rural communities,” and believes that privatization would hand “control to the largest airlines, giving them the keys to the kingdom.” In July of this year, AOPA along with 130 other general aviation groups voiced their concerns against privatization and collectively agree that the private entity that would run the ATC system would be dominated by the airlines, and GA would not have a seat at the table. Sullenberger supports those concerns in supportive ads he has created and concludes by stating that privatization is a “threat to our nation’s security, safety, access, and basic fairness.” AOPA encourages all GA supporters to contact their representatives in Congress and help spread the word to fellow aviators about the threat ATC privatization poses to GA. To contact your representative directly, visit aopa.org/takeaction or call (855) 383-7330, toll free, to be directly connected to your representative after entering your zip code. Mark R.

  • Arion Hangar Talk
    Arion Hangar Talk The Arion Aircraft “Lightning” Newsletter. Chief Editor: Linda Mathias Cub Reporter and delivery boy: Buz Rich August 2008 Volume 1, Issue 7 Welcome to issue # 7 of the Newsletter. The goal of the newsletter is “to get the word out” on happenings at Arion Aircraft, and “to give a voice” to Lightning builders and flyers. It is your Lightning “Hangar Talk” sessions put into print. To be successful we will need the inputs from Lightning flyers and builders in order to meet that goal. So it is not only a way for the factory to provide Lightning news, but it is your newsletter as well, and as such its success will depend on you getting involved to spread the word and to help other builders and / or flyers with their project airplanes. So think of this newsletter as an “exchange of information publication”. Send your inputs directly to me at [email protected]. Contents in this issue: Page 11 -Upcoming Events –. 2 -Lead Story – Oshkosh Report 12 -Lightning Skunk Works – 5 -News from the Factory – 12 – Technical Tips - 8 -News from the Dealers – 13 -Reader Feedback – 9 -Current Lightning Dealers - 13 -Other items –. 9 -News from Builders and Flyers- 15 -Final thoughts – And now, the rest of the news: 1 Lead Story: Report from Oshkosh 2008 You have probably noticed that this issue of Arion Hangar Talk, better known as the “Lightning Newsletter” is several days late. My normal goal is to have each monthly issue “published” no later than the first day of each month. My excuse for this issue being late is, of course, the EAA Convention and Fly-In at Oshkosh.
