Free Distribution Begins At AirVenture

As usual, the current edition of the Aircraft Electronic Association's Pilot's Guide to Avionics debuts at EAA's AirVenture, and this year also marks the rollout of the AEA's Pilot's Guide to Avionics website, where pilots and consumers will find an avionics glossary, repair station directory by state and country, archives of past Pilot's Guide articles, and much more.

For the past eight years, the AEA has published the annual Pilot's Guide to Avionics, a consumer's directory containing buyer's guides, educational articles and timely information about the avionics industry, its products and its people. The back portion of the Pilot's Guide is a directory of AEA member certified repair stations and associate members.

The AEA's aim in publishing this annual guide is to help pilots make better avionics buying decisions and to assist them in locating repair stations certified by international regulatory authorities as capable of installing and maintaining these sophisticated pieces of equipment.

Nearly 15,000 Pilot's Guides are distributed each year at no charge.

Following AirVenture, the Pilot's Guide also will be distributed at:

• AEA's West, Central, East, Canada and South Pacific regional meetings this fall.
• NBAA Meeting & Convention in October.
• AOPA Aviation Summit in November.
• WAI Conference in February.
• The AEA International Convention & Trade Show from March 22-25, in Reno, NV.

Some of the articles featured in the 2010/2011 Pilot's Guide include "New Products for 2010," "Dream Panel Installations & Repair", "Wi-Fi in the Sky", "Hand-Held GPS", "Adapting ADS-B", "In-Flight Entertainment", "Choosing an FAA-Certified Repair Station", and more.
