Mike, Have you paid chapter dues ($25)? The chapter would also like a little information - name, address, phone Pilots license (student, private, ifr, cfi, etc). ?I just don’t see anything other than your joining groups.oi?

Hi All,? I am now officially a new EAA member having signed up a week or two ago. I previously posted my situation (55 flight hours in and now pivoting to a Sport Pilot license) to the group a few weeks back, and I’ve had many helpful responses: Thank you. Unfortunately, I will be out of town for the September meeting. Hopefully I can attend in October. Cheers, Mike Bellino On Sep 8, 2024, at 08:23, Ann Lanzara via groups.io <net3pacer@...> wrote:

Re: My Project Zenith 650
Good morning Mike!? ?Glad to hear that you are making some progress on your project. I might have some explanation for the tumble weeds?? The doors on "our" hanger have no gasketing along the bottom of the sliding doors thus allowing any small light debris to blow in even when the doors are closed.? This might be some of what you are seeing in the hanger?? I have been in the hanger with the doors closed and witnessed this event on more than one occasion.?? I do not particularly mind the sliding doors; however, it would be real nice to have insulation, better lighting, and a tighter hanger.? ?I do not know what the fellows with the newer hangers across the way from us pay per month; but, those hangers are really nice.? I have worked on several of the Air Conditioning systems of the?twin Cessna housed in those hangers and after spending some time in those hangers I have come to appreciate some of thier niceties including a leak-free roof.? If our per square foot cost is anywhere close to what those renters are paying we are getting ripped off. Ron M

All,
1. I have been at the hangar working on my project with help thank goodness. I brought my shop vac to clean the floor. Anyone else wants to do some vacuuming feel free to use it. There is much we can do to improve the usefulness of the hangar. Example: Since no major maintenance is being done or will be done, I would like to store or dispose of those concrete counterweights that are continuously in the way. That is just one idea. I know we have discussed many things, but we need to figure how to get more use of our only resource.
?2. Please ..... if you are running an engine outside the hangar, please...please make sure the prop blast is not directed towards the inside of the hangar or the hangar door even if closed. Dust and dirt still will blow into the hangar even if the doors are closed. We actually have tumble weeds inside the hangar.

Feel free to comment as this is our house. I will try to update as necessary and if you want to help with the hangar project, I'll be glad to see that your time is valued. Small steps lead to big change.

Re: Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees // All Nippon Joins The SharkSkin Coating Family
开云体育Thanks Anne I forgot about the FAR the that if ADSB equipped must be on. I wonder if you purchased the DOTCOM ADSB block through the FAA that could conceal your identity or a similar public removal. That’s really a sticky situation. Who would be imposing this onto the airports? The localities, the state, or the federal government?Blake Shaner Personal: blakeshaner@... School: bshaner01@... CAP: Blake.Shaner@...

Re: Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees // All Nippon Joins The SharkSkin Coating Family
This was a huge concern when ads-b was imposed. ?It was commonly thought the data would be misused to collect fees (A.K.A. Canada)
?
BTW and FYI
“pulling the breaker” in flight on ads-b installed equipment is currently illegal? |

Re: Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees // All Nippon Joins The SharkSkin Coating Family
开云体育Interesting. I know the FAA is putting out a new policy stating you cannot be fined by the FAA solely based on ADSB data but this sounds very skimpy. Given that ADSB isn’t a national requirement in all airspace and the likelihood of these GA airports not being in a location where ADSB is required and being a public airport, I look for people to pull the breaker for their ADSB to get around this till the federal government makes a decision about the legality of this. Like how would they handle wavers or exceptions, I think it would be a very frustrating thing to deal with.? Blake Shaner Personal: blakeshaner@... School: bshaner01@... CAP: Blake.Shaner@...

Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees // All Nippon Joins The SharkSkin Coating Family
Hopefully this is not the future. Flying is already to expensive. Florida Airports Lining Up To Impose New Fees New airport fees could be coming to several Florida airports, with invoices autogenerated using ADS-B data. ?
Updated Sep 4, 2024 9:05 PM EDT ? DeLand Municipal Airport is one of several Florida airports considering ADS-B-generated invoicing for new facility fees. ? A new proposal to impose landing fees and use ADS-B data for invoicing operators at several Florida GA airports is drawing criticism from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). It’s unclear what the revenue from the fees, many tentatively set at $3 per 1,000 pounds of aircraft weight, would be used for. AOPA points out that local taxpayers pay a minimal amount to support airports that are largely federally funded. ? The initiative is incentivized by new technological capability to invoice operators based on ADS-B data. AOPA said in a statement that Florida contracted with a company named Virtower, which has a strategic partnership with Vector Airport Systems to use Virtower’s ADS-B data to automatically invoice aircraft operators. Vector has been reaching out to Florida airport sponsors to pitch its services. ? In its statement, AOPA wrote, “[ADS-B data] was never intended to be used to collect fees, or to enable aircraft tracking by third parties.?AOPA is considering legislative action to make sure ADS-B data is used solely for its intended purpose.” The fees could be imposed as early as October 1 throughout the state “as local officials race to take advantage of a newly available opportunity.” ? And the fees could set in motion a domino effect. John Eiff, Airport Manager at DeLand Airport, said at a public meeting that his intent in imposing the fees is to deter an influx of traffic from other nearby airports that are imposing the fees. He said, “The primary reason we are even considering a landing fee is to protect ourselves from other airports that are signing up for this. We’ve got Orlando Executive, Kissimmee, Flagler, Ormond Beach and us that are considering landing fees. If we do not impose landing fees, airplanes that are using the other airports and paying landing fees, they will choose to come to DeLand and saturate our pattern to an unsafe level. For us to add a landing fee is kind of protection against this.”? ? AOPA Southern Regional Manager Stacey Heaton, said, “The city and county governments considering these new landing fees have been conspicuously silent about the fact that these airports appear to be in good financial condition, and they’ve received $67 million in federal grants, collectively, over the past decade. This is misguided and stands to devastate the flight training industry and local Florida pilots.” ? ? All Nippon Joins The SharkSkin Coating Family Sharkskin-inspired coating could save thousands of tons of fuel. ?
Updated Sep 4, 2024 11:01 PM EDT ? Following the lead of Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss International Air Lines, EVA Air and All Nippon Airways have become the first Asian carriers to adopt a high-tech aircraft coating that reduces drag by emulating the skin of a shark. According to??on the Freightwaves news outlet, AeroShark surface coating is configured with sharkskin-like “riblets,” described as small protrusions in the coating measuring just 50 micrometers (0.002 inches) that have been shown to reduce aerodynamic drag by 1%. According to Lufthansa, if resurfaced with AeroShark coating, the global fleet of long-haul aircraft could reduce overall fuel burn by some 5 million tons per year. ? All Nippon began operating its first AeroShark-coated Boeing 777 freighter on August 31. The carrier said it plans to add the coating to its passenger aircraft by next spring, though freighters see a slightly greater benefit since their overall surface area doesn’t include windows. ? AeroShark coating was developed by Lufthansa Technik, the maintenance and tech services corporate cousin of Lufthansa Airlines, in partnership with German chemical and coating manufacturer BASF. The coating is said to be weather-resistant and easy to apply to fuselage skin and engine nacelles during regular scheduled maintenance. ? Lufthansa Cargo’s B777 fleet could save more than 4,400 tons of fuel per year, the company said, the equivalent fuel burn of 53 cargo flights between Frankfurt, Germany, and Shanghai, China. ? |
