Aero-Craft 101: Lost Procedures
It's a staple of introductory cross-country navigation: "lost
procedures", or more importantly, how to determine your location
when you're lost track of where you are.
With the proliferation of GPS and moving maps it may see
that "getting lost" is a thing of the past. But there are still
scenarios where a pilot can lose his or her way--and fly into
peril.
In today's security-conscious world the consequences of being
lost are potentially even more serious. Today we're talking with
ANN's CFI Tom Turner about "lost procedures", and how to go from
being lost, to being found.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
Smooth sailing so far for the shuttle Atlantis...
One dead after an air show mid-air in Malta...
And there's trouble for Taylorcraft... ordered to leave its
home no later than Monday....
...And more.

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
