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: Navigating The DC Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA)

An online course presented by the FAA Safety Teams... Security-related procedures and requirements are a fact of life for today’s pilots, especially those who operate in the Washington, DC metropolitan area Special Flight Rules Area (DC SFRA) and the DC Flight Restricted Zone (DC FRZ).
 
Most of what you already know about operating in the DC ADIZ and DC FRZ applies to the DC SFRA. If you completed an earlier version of this course, you do not need to take it again.  Even so, it is a good idea to review this material periodically to refresh your understanding. In addition, always check Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) before every flight for possible changes.
