NEW Stuff

Tailplane Icing -- Take a look at this NASA video and you will learn a lot about this topic. It is an important thing to keep in mind, and it might have been the cause of the recent crash in New York. (February 2009)

Flight Reviews and Flight Time -- Are you a safer pilot after a flight review? We have found a curious relationship between reviews and accidents, and would like to get a little more information to see what is happening. (October 2008)

Aeronautical Decision Making -- The extensive set of manuals and publications produced by the FAA on ADM are being scanned and made available here. (September 2008)
