PRM Approach An instrument approach procedure titled ILS PRM, RNAV PRM, LDA PRM, or GLS PRM conducted to parallel runways separated by less than 4,300 feet and at least 3,000 feet where independent closely spaced approaches are permitted.  Use of an enhanced display with alerting, a No Transgression Zone (NTZ), secondary monitor frequency, pilot PRM training, and publication of an Attention All Users Page are required for all PRM approaches.  Depending on the runway spacing, the approach courses may be parallel or one approach course must be offset. PRM procedures are also used to conduct Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach (SOIA) operations.  In SOIA, one straight-in ILS PRM, RNAV PRM, GLS PRM, and one offset LDA PRM, RNAV PRM or GLS PRM approach are utilized.  PRM procedures are terminated and a visual segment begins at the offset approach missed approach point where the minimum distance between the approach courses is 3000 feet. Runway spacing can be as close as 750 f

“It’s not like building something with a kit. We did this with sketches and photos of the original structure. The pictures helped with basic dimensions. There have been a lot of little things. We want it to look exactly like the original Buster.” Source: Jim Casper, a member of EAA Chapter 252 -- which has just finished up work on their non-flying display version of Wittman’s Buster racer using a combination of newly manufactured and classic parts.

The aircraft took off smoothly and provided a climb of 500 fpm using a normal runway distance.

After 70 Years On the Market, There’s Still a Little Room for Improvement

Cessna’s long-running Skyhawk now features a solid-state dual electronic ignition system in all new production aircraft, reducing maintenance costs, improving efficiency, and adding another touch of polish for the type’s 70th anniversary. A dual Lycoming electronic ignition system is now standard on all new Cessna Skyhawk aircraft regardless of trim, replacing the dual magneto ignition system. Fewer moving parts, simplified solid-state electronics, and (probably) a reduction in weight all result in small improvements across the board, whether you're a lucky dog buying one brand-new in 2025, or one of the rest of us...scooping one up used in 30 years.

Air India 787 Dreamliner Switches Moved To ‘Cutoff’ After Takeoff
