INSURANCE
RATES CUT ON SOME LSAS
Avemco Insurance has moved 13 Light
Sport Aircraft models into its most preferred rate class and owners of
those aircraft can expect premium reductions in the coming year. Avemco
CEO Jim Lauerman told AVweb in a podcast
interview that factors like company stability, parts availability
and, of course, the claims record were all taken into consideration in
giving the aircraft preferred rate status. "The industry has matured,"
he said, noting that many companies are establishing nation-wide service
networks and support services for owners of their products. But it's not
just the companies and their products that have gotten better.

CIRRUS
LSA PROGRAM ON HOLD
Cirrus said this week that it has
suspended for now its work on bringing an LSA to market. "Our interest
in the project hasn't changed," Patrick Waddick, Cirrus vp of
operations, told AVweb on Wednesday. "We are still very
interested in the LSA market, and we will keep coming back to
re-evaluate that decision." The company cited three main reasons for its
change of heart -- the current challenging economic conditions, the fact
that the SRS project requires not only development of the airplane but
also an expanded flight-training strategy, and the company said it
expects that with time the LSA rules and standards will "mature" and
allow Cirrus to build an LSA with a broader mission profile. "While
Cirrus Aircraft has made the difficult and sometimes painful decisions
over the past several months to ensure longevity and proper funding of
many core production and development programs," the company said in a
news release, "our total enterprise 'bandwidth' to keep every new
program on schedule is still limited." More...

routing, planning, and weather information for the aircraft and the
automobile, the AV8OR Handheld uses aviation software and symbology you
understand. Its 4.3-inch touch screen is larger and easier to read than
competing GPS systems, with an intuitive interface derived from the
pilot-friendly, panel-mounted Bendix/King multi-function display
systems. For more information,

BUILD
A PLANE BENEFITS DURING DOWN ECONOMY
Business is booming at
Build A Plane,
President Lyn Freeman told AVweb at Sun 'n Fun this week. The
nonprofit group works to find old airplanes that need a new life, and
pairs them up with schools that create projects to teach kids about
science and technology. The donors get a tax write-off, the schools get
an exciting new project, and the kids are tricked into getting an
education while thinking they are having fun. While donations have been
plentiful, Freeman said he still has schools on a waiting list, so more
are always needed. Also this week, Freeman announced that Build A Plane
will sponsor Teacher's Day at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh later this
summer, along with EAA and the General Aviation Manufacturers
Association. The program, scheduled for July 28, will expose teachers to
a variety of programs and curricula to help them use aviation in
classrooms from kindergarten through high school. Teachers from across
the United States are expected to participate, and so far response has
been tremendous, Freeman said. "Today's students respond to real-world
applications and challenges, and aviation really captures their
attention," he said. Teachers who attend will receive continuing
education credit as well as a free pass to AirVenture.
