Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: Aviation Environment
Federation
The Aviation Environment Federation (AEF) is the principal UK
non-profit environmental association concerned with the
environmental effects of aviation. The AEF has over 120 affiliated
members comprising community and environmental groups, local
authorities, parish councils, businesses and consultancies and
individuals.
They promote a sustainable future for aviation which fully
recognises, and takes account of, all its environmental and amenity
effects, ranging from aircraft noise issues associated with small
airstrips or helipads to the contribution of airline emissions to
climate change.
The AEF was established in 1975 because of growing concerns
about noise from private aircraft. This remains an important part
of AEF’s work, but in recent years increasing attention has
been focussed on the impacts of commercial aviation.
