Aero-Craft 101: Oxygen Altitudes
It's becoming increasingly popular for pilots to fly high up on
cross-country trips. More and more pilots realize the
benefits in speed and ecomony of cruising above 10,000 feet -- and
even into the lower flight levels -- in piston-powered
airplanes.
But flight at "oxygen altitudes" present risks as well as
rewards, as CFI Tom Turner tells us in today's Aero-Craft
segment.
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:
The fallout continues from last week's discovery of a terror
plot against commercial aviation
...And some of that fallout may actually good for the war on
drugs.
And Russia's air force commander says... yes, we, too, would
shoot down a hijacked airliner if we had to.

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.
