Tom Turner's Aero-Craft 101: Density Altitude
In this week's Aero-Craft segment, CFI Tom Turner tells us of
"The High and Not So Mighty" -- a look at how density altitude can
rob your aircraft of vital power. He also tells us some ways you
can combat that loss.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.

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.
