Powerflow Systems Displays New Exhaust Systems For Cessna 180, 182, & 185
When asking what was new with team Powerflow; Jim Shafer (Manager of Dealer Sales at Powerflow Exhaust) noted they had looked at developing a tuned exhaust system for the 6 cylinder Continental engines for many years, but they could never get a design they were happy with. After the passing of Dane Wagner of Leading Edge Exhaust Systems unexpectedly in December 2017, Powerflow was able to purchase all their Assets, Tooling, Machinery, STC's, and PMA's. After the purchase, they relocated all of the aforementioned property to their Daytona Beach facilities, and have since transferred the STC, and now have PMA authority to make the systems.
Will Help Pilots Understand Ground Signals They May See On Busy Ramps
Pilots can now take a free video course, Understanding Aircraft Marshalling, from King Schools to help them quickly learn the signals used by marshallers at a busy ramp. Aircraft marshalling is rarely covered during pilot education, leaving many pilots scratching their heads when presented with marshalling signals. Watching this course will help them understand ground signals they may see on busy ramps, at fly-ins and aviation events. They will also learn what signals to give back to the marshaller when necessary, instead of guessing what the marshaller wants to see.
If the Aerospace Center for Excellence can raise another $85,000 by the end of Sun 'n Fun, they will be one step closer to completing their mission to "engage, educate, and accelerate the next generation of aerospace professionals." ACE, a nonprofit organization, is currently raising funds for SkyLab, a 22,000 square foot expansion of the Florida Air Museum to provide five state-of-the-art science, technology, engineering, and math laboratories. The space will have retractable walls that allow the individual classrooms to transform into one large auditorium.
This Is ATSEE -- A Mobile App Still In Its Testing Stages
By Maria Morrison, SNFDD Feature Editor
Amidst the constant chatter at airshows, one vendor is putting it all into words. A running screen behind the booth shows blue and white messages that look like texts on an iPhone, but the content is not a typical text conversation. Instead, it shows radio calls between N116CD and Tampa Tower, running in a dialogue. This is ATSEE, a mobile app still in its testing stages for Apple and Andriod products. Designed specifically for pilots, the app captures the communications coming off of your headset and texts it to you on the app.
From 2019 (YouTube Version): Able Flight Welcomes New Pilots At AirVenture
After seven weeks of intensive flight training and ground school, seven 2019 Able Flight scholarship recipients are now licensed pilots. Six trained at Purdue University and one at The Ohio State University, and they were honored at Able Flight’s annual Wings Pinning Ceremony at EAA AirVenture 2019. Among them is Leslie Irby, who lives in Georgia and was paralyzed in an auto accident in 2013. She told Aero-News that was inspired to learn to fly after learning the story of Bessie Coleman, who was the first woman of African-American descent, and the first of Native Amer
