Aero Linx: Maine Aeronautics Association The MAA was formed to fill a void in the state of Maine by establishing itself as a centrally recognized organization. We are a non-profit, professional organization dedicated to keeping flying safe and fun. We work with our neighboring communities to provide information and edcational opportunities. We promote aviation through education, legislation, advocacy, and community relations. This is done through sponsoring conferences, fly-ins, and FAA safety seminars. We provide aviation educational opportunites on both the state and local level.

Unpublished Route A route for which no minimum altitude is published or charted for pilot use. It may include a direct route between NAVAIDs, a radial, a radar vector, or a final approach course beyond the segments of an instrument approach procedure.

"...we believe AOPA products and initiatives that detract from the organization's main goals are bad for members and the industry in general. And, as advertisers, we feel our financial contributions are furthering these initiatives that will ultimately compete with our own products - essentially we are funding a competitor." Source: From a letter sent to AOPA by a number of aviation businesses, expressing serious concerns about the direction of the organization and their allegedly competive practices... Right after AOPA received this letter, one of the businesses signing it, Sporty's Pilot Shop, was "fired" from a long-term marketing relatiosnhip with the once-mighty aviation organization.
