Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: Central Florida Helicopter Association (CFHA)

CFHA was conceptualized in October 1999 by Orange County Sheriff’s Office air crews. CFHA was organized in response to the need for better communications amongst the helicopter operators within the district. The increased number of helicopters used by the various operators and agencies dictated a need to enhance the safety of helicopter operations. The CFHA has become a platform for establishing policies, procedures, promoting public awareness and enhancing safety. The FAA serves in an advisory capacity to the association.
