While the Italian genius never experienced the taste of flight as Writer we know it today, he surely understood the true nature of its gift. Chris Girandola My journey into the air began with a dream, much like da Vinci. But once I took off for the first time in a Navy T-34 trainer at NAS Saufley Field in Pensacola, Contributors Florida in 1966, my heart was in the air until my last flight in a Marine AH-1 Cobra Robert J. Fine, Jr. attack helicopter flying over Kenya in a surreal trip chasing elephants, giraffes, Alison Lescarbeau gazelles, and alongside birds of all kinds. During my 32 years of military service, I was fortunate enough to be in the cockpit of nearly every type of Navy and Marine Design aircraft, make over 1,200 carrier arrested landings and command several different Angela Gazabon-Serje ships.

All VFR departures requesting airborne activation of IFR flight plans or VFR flight following in the central Florida area should use published procedures.

    CARES ACT FUNDING by Michael Mcdougall, Aviation Communications Manager

    News from the Florida Department of Transportation Aviation Office www.fdot.gov/aviation SPRING 2020 CARES ACT FUNDING by Michael McDougall, Aviation Communications Manager n March 27, 2020, President Trump signed a $2.2 trillion stimulus bill into law called the Coronavirus Aide, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), of which $10 billion in grants was allocated to provide relief to eligible airports in the U.S. that have been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, the Federal Aviation O Administration (FAA) would fund a large percentage of AIP eligible projects and there would be a local match contributed by the Airport’s sponsor. As a result of the CARES Act, temporary changes have been made to the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). $500 million of the $10 billion is now available to increase the federal share of certain projects up to 100 percent. The other $9.5 billion will be made available to airports to cover expenses such as operational costs, payroll, debt services, aiding in protection, prevention, and future preparations to combat complications from the pandemic. For projects identified to receive 100 percent federal funding, there will be no local contribution. All airports that are in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) were eligible for funding, as determined by an airport’s classification of either commercial service or general aviation. Commercial Service airports (those with 10,000 or more annual passenger boardings) were eligible to receive up to $7.4 billion of CARES Act funding, based on their total annual enplanements. This is similar to how Commercial Service airports receive the AIP entitlement funds.
