The season of maintenance
General Aviation News
According to author Jamie Beckett: As I awoke this morning to clear skies with the sun just beginning to peak over the eastern horizon, the thermometer read a brisk 70° Fahrenheit. Brrr, autumn has come to the sandbar I call home.
Truthfully, fall and winter are wonderful times of the year in Florida. The humidity drops to more humane levels. The temperature moderates considerably, only rising into the 80s until winter when it drops back to afternoon highs in the 70s.

Aerobatics in an LSA
General Aviation News
One area of light aircraft flight — Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA), kits, or ultralights — that gets less attention is aerobatics.
"Oh, we can't encourage that from Sport Pilots," some lament, but those who say that are not considering one aspect of flight training that also gets less attention than it deserves: Upset recovery training.
