Return To Flight As A Sport Pilot, Part One
In January 2006, ANN Managing Editor (and aspiring student
pilot) Rob Finfrock received the news no one ever wants to hear: he
was diagnosed with cancer.
Fortunately, after the rush to surgery... and the tense days
that followed as he and his family awaited the result... the news
gradually became better and better. Today, Rob is cancer-free. In
that time, however, his plans to resume flying lessons were
understandably put on hold... but once his mind at ease about his
health (more or less), his thoughts soon returned to how he could
take to the skies once again.
While Rob fully intends to earn his private pilot license in the
near future, for the moment he's concentrating on the newest
segment in general aviation... the sport pilot license. In part one
of a two part ANN Special Feature, Rob tells us that sport pilot
makes a lot of sense for him, and many others in a similar
situation.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
US Airways ends its hostile bid for Delta...
The US Air Force releases its bid specs for a new
tanker...
And Thielert announces a successor to the Centurion
1.7...
...And more

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
