Program Description
"Radio Upgrades and the ADS-B goal"
By Chris Randall
Clues and advice on upgrading and working towards the ADS-B configuration. Starting January 1, 2020 ADS-B Out will be required to fly in most controlled airspace. Chris Randall [KWHP] specializes in canard type aircraft radio installations. He will be on the ramp in his own Long EZ and will be available for questions.
"Mountain Flying"
By Tony Borreson
OK .. You got here somehow but maybe it would be easier to go direct over these Sierra slopes. Mountain flying, even more so than flight in the flatlands, is very unforgiving of poor training and planning. FAA spokesman Tony Borreson will present the recommended methods of safely flying in beautiful terrain. FAAST ‘Wings’ Credit
