But new airman certifi cation standards developed by industry and the FAA are making the tests part of a more integrated and systematic approach to pilot certifi cation. And while the new approach may not make passing the knowledge tests easier, it will make the whole experience more meaningful. Gone are questions about outdated topics including automatic direction fi nder/ nondirectional beacon (ADF/NDB); radar summary charts; the En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS); medevac; and transcribed weather broadcasts (TWEB). The FAA has also deleted questions that required the use of non-standard scales for measurements or calculations, and questions that required pilots to interpolate across multiple charts to determine weather or aircraft performance.

    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE APRIL/MAY 2017 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 midwestflyer.com Are you Fit to Fly under BasicMed? Now that the FAA has announced BasicMed, the new third class medical reform rule, will go into effect on May 1, it’s time for pilots to start learning how to take advantage of the benefits. We know our members are relying on us as the new rule rolls out. So, that’s why we launched our Fit to Fly resources to help pilots make the most of BasicMed. Fit to Fly is an online suite of tools and information developed to ensure both pilots and physicians understand the new regulations. You can find the resources online at www.aopa.org/FittoFly. The process of getting Fit to Fly begins with figuring out if you qualify, and we have an interactive tool to walk you through that online. Many pilots will immediately qualify for BasicMed, but for those who will need to take some additional steps, the process to get back flying is now much easier. And if you have one of the medical conditions specified by the FAA in the BasicMed rule, you will need to obtain only one special issuance medical for that condition, and then you may subsequently fly under the BasicMed rules. In order to start flying under BasicMed, all you’ll need to do is complete the physical exam and FAA checklist every four years and the online aeromedical course every two years that AOPA will provide free as part of Fit to Fly.

  • Chapter 4: Aviation Issues
    Chapter 4. Aviation System Issues 4.1. Introduction The aviation industry is constantly evolving to keep pace with advances in technology; economic conditions; local, state, and federal regulatory requirements; traveler behavior trends; and other factors inherent to and external from the airport environment. Within this context, airports and sponsors are responsible for maintaining safe and secure aviation facilities that meet user demands. Fiscal resources are often constrained and can vary year-to-year based on how policymakers allocate and prioritize available dollars. Understanding the key issues facing Illinois’s airport system—both today and expected to in the years ahead—is a critical task when assessing the system’s current and anticipated future demands. This chapter of the Illinois Aviation System Plan (IASP) summarizes the issues and trends with the highest potential to impact the state aviation system over the 20-year planning horizon. Issues were identified by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), airport sponsors, and other stakeholders representing a diversity of perspectives on the Illinois aviation system. These sources included: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) members: Serving as the steering committee for the IASP, the TAC is composed of advocates from the public and private sector involved with transportation and economic development in Illinois. Members represent Illinois airports; IDOT; and organizations including the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, Illinois Air and Critical Transport, Illinois Aviation Trades Association, Illinois Chamber of Commerce, and United Airlines. During its initial meeting on December 4, 2019, the TAC prioritized issues that may affect Illinois airports in the near- and long-terms.
