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: Type Club Coalition

The Type Club Coalition (TCC) is an organization of owners and builders groups brought together for the common purpose of increasing the level of safety in the general aviation community. Whether you fly a type-certificated aircraft, a warbird, a homebuilt, or anything in between, all are welcome in the TCC.

Many type clubs have already worked hard to create very effective training programs and best operating practices for their members. The TCC is a place where these organizations, as well as individual owners, can come together to further develop these resources. If the community can work together to eliminate the common mistakes of aircraft operation, type-specific or otherwise, the overall safety of GA will increase substantially.
