This week, AVweb’s news roundup came across reports on a new Air Repair Station certification for Wayman Aviation, Adventure Aviation’s acquisition of an AL250 simulator, the recent release of an IFR communications manual from PilotWorkshops and additional AirVenture forum presentations by Superior Air Parts. Wayman Aviation announced last week that it has earned FAA Part 145 Air Repair Station certification. According to the company, it is the only Part 145-certified maintenance facility at Hollywood-North Perry Airport (HWO) in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
On the flight training side of things, Alberta, Canada-based Adventure Aviation, a company that offers both flight training and aerial sightseeing tours, has purchased an Alsim AL250 simulator. Alsim says the AL250 will include a real Garmin GTN 650. Also, for those looking for options to brush up on radio use during instrument flight, PilotWorkshops has released “IFR Communications,” a new addition to its Pilot-Friendly Manual series. The manual includes hard-copy and PDF versions along with videos.
Finally, Superior Air parts has announced that its vice president of product support, Bill Ross, will be presenting two educational forums at AirVenture this year as part of the part of the AeroShell Oshkosh Forum series. “Owner’s Guide to Engine Operations and Maintenance” is scheduled for Tuesday, July 24, and “Engine Leaning Made Simple” for Friday, July 27. Both presentations will begin at 1:00 p.m. and take place at the AeroShell tent (#450).
