NAVIGATING
THE NASTIES
Saying pilots will deviate around thunderstorms
is like stating a heavy metal concert is going to get loud. It's
inevitable. As a radar controller working aircraft during thunderstorm
season, it can feel like being in that concert's mosh pit when the
lights go down and the guitars crank up. There's slightly less noise and
grunge, but it still takes awareness and flexibility to work through the
chaos. When you're asking ATC for deviations around weather, it's useful
to know where they can easily bend and where it'll take some negotiation
and planning. Click

PODCAST:
PILOTS ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS BACK FLYING
For decades, taking any
of a number of brain-active antidepressants known as selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has meant automatic medical disqualification
for pilots. For the past two years, pilots on SSRIs have been allowed
back in the cockpit and have been doing well. AVweb's Russ Niles
spoke with Dr. Ian Blair Fries, a senior AME, about the
program.
This podcast is brought to you by Bose Corporation.

COBALT
ANNOUNCES SMARTDECK FOR THE VALKYRIE CO50
Cobalt has
announced that its new Co50 will feature the SmartDeck system, which was
bought from L-3 by the Canadian company CMC Electronics, a subsidiary of
Esterline. The Co50 was unveiled at EAA AirVenture as a concept aircraft
in 2010 and now, two years later, it has come out of the ground with an
announced test program, pricing and more performance details. Cobalt's
David Loury told AVweb that the Co50 will be a four-place composite
design with a canard, the first we've seen on a small production
aircraft. The Valkyrie will be powered by a Continental TSIOF-550, the
company's latest powerplant equipped with its PowerLink FADEC for
single-lever operation. Predicted performance is about 225 knots with
typical IFR range of at least 1400 miles. More...
