That's all very curious since Frank can't find any evidence of even a sing le "standard Fleet 16F." (Can you?) After the ob li gatory test hops, the plane was sold to the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation in San Di ego with the marks NC20699. It was, and is today, 28 feet wide at top and bottom wing, 22' 3 ~ " long in flight and 7' 10" high. The records show that Consolidated refered to the airplane as a 16F. I n April, 1939, Consolidated sold the plane for a buck "and other considerations" to the Brewster Aeronautical Corporation of Long Isl and City, New York. Shortly thereafter, Brewster applied for Registra­ tion and a Commercial Certificate and the form revealed the plane had 82 hours on it. Three months later, application was made for an Experimental certificate. The form curiously classified the machine as a "New Airplane". What made it "new" in the eyes of Brewster, who now called it a B-1 (where have I heard that before?) and gave it the number NX20699, was the swap to a Warner 165 horsepower engine. They also installed a single gas tank, capable of holding 33 u .S. gallons, and completely refurbished the plane. Brewster published the following specs on the aircraft in 1939: Span 28' Length 22' 11" Height 8' 0.5" Wing area 202 sq. ft. Power load ing 11.8 Ibs./hp. Wing loading 9.7 Ibs ./sq . ft. Empty Wt. 1,227 pounds Useful load 723 pounds Gross Wt. 1,950 pounds by: David Gustafson, Editor The plane was given serial number 1 and Brewster got a license for flight tests. With the Warner 165, they came "You're right, it's not a stock Fleet. It's a unique HISTORY up with the following performance goodies: Fleet . in many ways." That's how Frank Del mar I n the beginn ing .

    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 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.

  • PDF Version October November 2014
    IDWEST FLYER M AGAZINE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2014 Published For & By The Midwest Aviation Community Since 1978 MidwestFlyer.com Untitled-7 1 3/13/14 2:25 PM Closer Every Day A couple of months back, I told you that the FAA had closed the window for accepting potential avgas replacements for evaluation. Now, I’m excited to tell you that the search for a new unleaded aviation fuel has taken another big leap forward. The FAA has selected four fuels to go through the first stage of lab and rig testing. This is where we begin to move from fuels that look good on paper toward something we can actually use in our airplanes. It took the FAA just a few weeks to go through the submissions and identify the most promising candidates for testing based on whether they can be produced and distributed widely, used safely, and sold cost effectively—all with minimal impact on the existing fleet. But this next phase, actually working in the lab with each fuel, is much more complex and will take considerably longer—about a year, in fact. That means we can probably expect radio silence from the FAA when it comes to talking about avgas replacements. But it’s important not to confuse that silence with inaction. AOPA is a leading member of the Piston Aviation Fuels Initiative steering group, which brings together the GA community, the petroleum industry, and the FAA. You can rely on us to stay abreast of the FAA’s progress and to make sure the needs of GA users are kept front and center.
