Safer by
Design
Aspen's trailblazing Evolution 2000 is the only GA EFIS
display that provides total system redundancy — at less fly-away
cost than any competing system. Evolution 2000's safety architecture
delivers a comprehensive backup capability that steam gauges and
competing glass can't match. Full PFD capability built into the MFD,
dual redundant backup batteries and dual HSIs are just a few of the many
system redundancies built into Aspen's multi-display systems.

PIPISTREL
LSA FLIES ABOVE MT. EVEREST
In the midst of his flight around
the world, Slovene pilot Matevz Lenarcic took his Pipistrel Virus to
29,344 feet above the Himalayas -- not directly overflying the summit of
Mt. Everest, but reaching an altitude about 300 feet above that highest
peak. "There were a lot of trouble getting the permits to fly over the
Everest (the Nepali permit got cancelled right before the flight),"
according to Pipistrel's news release, "but Matevz did it anyway, so the
news were only released a day later to prevent him from having any
trouble with Nepal authorities." Matevz is now "already safely in
India," the company said. More...

REDBIRD'S
FLIGHT LAB: GOOD INITIAL RESULTS
Shortly after accepting the
keys to a new Piper Seminole, Jerry Gregoire of Redbird Flight
Simulations told AVweb that its initial results in training
students with an intensively simulator based program have proven
positive. Redbird has been operating the program for a little over two
months and have graduated about 20 students. Gregoire says Redbird
offers the program for a flat feet of $9500 to the Private Pilot
certificate, which he says is far less than the national average,
according to Redbird's analysis of AOPA flight training cost averages.
The Redbird program is not hours based but involves training to
proficiency in specific skill areas. It can also involve the student
flying the simulator solo to practice maneuavers that he or she may be
having trouble with. The student can also self-evaluate before moving on
to the next task. More...
