Tom Turner's Aero-Craft 101: High-Performance Aircraft
Some pilots are perfectly content to 'putter' through the skies
at a top speed of 100 mph, or less... regardless of the
constraints on range, payload -- and yes, speed -- such planes
typically possess. For many, however, even as they dote on their
slow but sturdy, fixed-gear wonders at the local airport... they
cast their eyes longingly on that sleek, speedy retract in the
hangar next door.
Today, ANN's Master CFI Tom Turner discusses high performance,
and complex aircraft, and what it takes to become endorsed to fly
them.
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:
Eclipse Aviation can officially get down to
business...
Adam Aircraft has reason to cheer as well...
And investigators in Brazil try to determine what brought a
737 down in the Amazon.
...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.
