Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.... ANN will observe the Federal holiday, but will still be active with some news and info, due to the potential criticality of that info to the aviation community. To that end, the Aero-News staff will not be publishing an edition of our Airborne video news program on Monday. On our website, you might find a fewer stories on Monday than you might expect otherwise. But; we'll be back to a full complement of stories on Tuesday.

Final Approach Fix
The fix from which the final approach (IFR) to an airport is executed and which identifies the beginning of the final approach segment. It is designated on Government charts by the Maltese Cross symbol for nonprecision approaches and the lightning bolt symbol, designating the PFAF, for precision approaches; or when ATC directs a lower-than-published glideslope/path or vertical path intercept altitude, it is the resultant actual point of the glideslope/path or vertical path intercept.
"We’re excited to announce that the National Championship Air Races are scheduled to return for its 57th year on September 15-19, 2021, pending COVID-19 restrictions. After canceling the 2020 event we found ourselves with a significant financial loss that we knew would be a tremendous challenge to overcome. To make up for this, we launched a fundraiser campaign to 'Save the Races.' Thanks to the support and generosity of the air racing community, we raised over $460,000 of our $500,000 goal!"
