Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: Advanced Pilot Seminars

Back by popular demand is Advanced Pilot Seminars' hands-on engine operating course held in Ada, Oklahoma. Using the most advanced engine cell in the U.S. and state-of -the art multi-media technology, APS will show you how to lean your engine the right way, without sacrificing performance or durability.

In a world where avgas could easily be $6 a gallon, the course will pay for itself in fuel savings, not to mention lower maintenance bills and razor sharp skills in interpreting an engine monitor. Learn lean of peak the right way. Leaner is cleaner, cooler and smoother. And because it saves gas and emits fewer unburned hydrocarbons, it's also greener.
