Is LSA Heading In The Right Direction?
Light Sport Aviation is just now two years old. It's become a
haven for older pilots who don't want to fight over their medical
certificates every couple of years... and while many see the prices
coming down a bit, aircraft are still on the pricey side.
But what about the other segment of sport pilot -- the new
pilots, the "up-and-comers" that sport pilot was meant to draw in?
Is LSA headed in the right direction? ANN's Pete Combs and CFI Tom
Turner talk it over in this ANN Special Feature.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.
ANN Daily Touch N Go:
07.14.06(ANN's Short-Form Daily News Program)
ANN Daily Aero-Briefing:
07.14.06 (ANN's Long-Form Daily News Program)
ANN Special Feature -- The State Of
LSA: 07.14.06 (ANN Special Feature, with CFI Tom
Turner's thoughts on the future of light sport aircraft, and the
Sport Pilot program.)
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.
