John Burroughs High School in Burbank, Calif. David Vezina had given up a job piloting Learjets to teach kids about aviation. In addition to providing real airplanes to high schools and other interested groups, Build A Plane is working with the National Educational Association, the Wathen Foundation, the FAA, NASA and several key aviation and aerospace organizations to create an aviation-based curricula that teaches science, technology, engineering and math. And for groups that don't have the room or the faculty to construct real aircraft, Build A Plane will soon release a software package and lesson guide that will allow kids to build airplanes virtually.

FAA's Aircraft Maintenance Human Factors Web Portal offers document access and services, including most of the documents dating back to the 1988 start of FAA's maintenance human factors R&D program. New documents include videos, PowerPoint presentations, and other media.

This interactive training keeps you interested and involved as you learn the basics about fatigue, sleep, and fatigue risk management.

A standard part is a part or material that conforms to an established industry or U.S. Government-published specification. The FAA's acceptance of a standard part as an approved part is based on the certification that the part has been designed and produced in accordance with an independent established set of specifications and criteria.

Volunteers from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson spent their weekend helping inspire children from local school districts to get involved in aviation. Volunteers participated in the Build-a-Plane program at Begich Middle School. The program is designed to help motivate children to take an active interest in aviation and life. The program got off the ground of the school after speaker Barrington Irving, the youngest and first African-American to pilot a plane around the world, stopped by the school for a speech, according to Angie Slingluff, FAA Education coordinator.

"Our school was treated to a visit by Barrington Irving, the first African-American pilot to fly solo around the world, who spoke to our students during a school-wide assembly in the fall of 2008. He provided the inspiration that spurred our Principal, Jeanne Fischer, to comment to Angie Slingluff, FAA Education Coordinator, that she would love to bring a project like that to our middle school. Dan Carey, our Applied Technology Teacher (and a pilot) was also very interested in capturing this project for Begich, after hearing Barrington Irving's comments about a group of students in Hooper Bay who are building a plane."

"Hay fever, allergy, and asthma - a lot of people use these terms interchangeably. In reality, they are completely different disorders. Use of the terms and medications incorrectly can have far reaching implications, including possible grounding by the FAA. Treatment is often available, both by over the counter and prescription medicines, but only a few medications may be used while flying."

Amazing how many low-level training routes exist across the country and how many midair's and near midair's have occurred - especially here in FL.
