The United States Senate passed its $34.5 billion version of the
three-year FAA Reauthorization Bill Monday and without user fees,
maintaining the present system of (slightly higher) fuel excise taxes.
The bill, passing on a unanimous (93-0) vote, would provide funding for

WORKING
GROUP FOCUSES ON PRESERVING RESIDENTIAL 'THROUGH-THE-FENCE' AGREEMENTS
EAA and key industry leaders are leading an effort to develop a process
for the FAA to continue allowing adjacent airport residential
through-the-fence (TTF) agreements at the nation’s public-use
airports. The group was formed in response to FAA Order 5190.6B, issued
on September 30, 2009, which contained a new key policy statement: “Under
no circumstances is the FAA to support any “through-the-fence”
agreement associated with residential use…” Read

'LEAP'
AIMS TO JUMP-START ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT DEVELOPMENT
A newly created aviation challenge hopes to spark a significant
"leap" in electric aircraft technology. Called the Lindbergh

an engraved brick for yourself, or as a lasting tribute to family
members and friends, or corporate recognition. To be part of this year's
dedication ceremony for newly installed bricks (July 28, Wednesday

Post of the Week!
This week's honor goes to an EAA member
from right here in Oshkosh named Tom Poberezny (I think I've got that
last name right …) In conjunction with his column in the latest issue
of EAA Sport Aviation, Tom posted a question on Oshkosh365 -
"What's your favorite airplane?" As you might expect, this
question isn't as simple as it first appears, and the answers, both on Oshkosh365
and our Facebook page, are
as diverse as our membership!

Economical Electric Flight: Icaro 2000 Electric Trike |
|
The Icaro 2000 Electric Trike will cost between $11,000 and $15,000, depending on which battery pack you choose. The HP10 electric motor and the largest battery pack weigh a total of 27 kilograms, or about 60 pounds, and that gives you 60 minutes of powered flight - in addition to the flight time you get by riding the thermals. |
Traveling in Style With a Personal Rocket Copter |
 |
Although rocket motor jetpacks have extremely short flight times, this rocket-powered ultralight helicopter which uses hydrogen peroxide for fuel, provides up to 50 minutes of flight. For those who want to fly in comfort, the Dragonfly DF1 even has an optional windshield.
(We linked to a video last week showing the Swisscopter Dragonfly DF1 in action. EAA member Jerry Kaplan wrote back with this word of caution regarding the use of hydrogen peroxide to fuel its rockets: “Hydrogen peroxide is extremely dangerous. In concentrations above 52 percent it is classified as an ‘extremely hazardous material.’ Contact with organic matter results in a fire. Get it on your skin, it will cause immediate burns. Contamination of the material in a closed container will result in an explosion. Lastly, Homeland Security has issues with sales of this product to unregulated persons, making it hard to find a dealer willing to sell the product.) |
NextGen May Bring Advanced Aircraft to Commercial Flight |
 |
The FAA’s NextGen air traffic control system would likely enable advanced aircraft types to use under-utilized airports, especially in large metropolitan areas. The monitoring and location control capabilities of the envisioned NextGen system are expected to allow steeper glideslopes and slower approaches. A NASA-funded study is seeking information about new flight options that could include 100-passenger tiltrotors, very light jets, supersonic transports and cruise-efficient short-takeoff-and-landing (CESTOL) airliners. |
Pollux Hypersonic Space Plane Flight Starts at 15 Miles Up |
 |
The Italian Center for Aerospace Research is targeting March 2010 for the first flight of its prototype hypersonic space plane. After being taken up to a height of 15 miles by a stratospheric balloon, the Pollux space plane will go through a programmed flight path while onboard sensors measure aerodynamic pressures, strain, and other performance data from the aircraft. |

EXPLORE AIRCRAFT
INSURANCE BEFORE BUILDING OR BUYING
By Bob Mackey, representative for the EAA Aircraft Insurance Plan,
Administered by Falcon Insurance Agency
 When
I first became an insurance agent, someone told me that everything is
insurable. A movie star's legs…original art work…hole-in-one golf
contests…and million dollar, full-court basketball shots. As long as
someone was willing to pay the premium, I was told, anything is
insurable. Nearly 30 years later, I realize that's not totally true. The
fact is, some things are not insurable, not at any price! Read

EAA 'TIMELESS VOICE OF
THE WEEK': LARRY NEWMAN
 Larry
Newman learned to fly while riding around Southern California in his
father's Ercoupe. By age 17, he had attained many of his ratings and
became a flight instructor. By the following year he was a charter
pilot. Newman discovered hang gliders while vacationing in New Mexico,
and later moved there (1973) to launch the Electra Flyer Corporation,
hang glider manufacturer. By 1978 Larry had over 125 employees and was
the world's largest producer of hang gliders, later expanding to
ultralights. That year he and friends, Ben Abruzzo and Maxie Anderson,
rode the hot-air balloon Double Eagle II to the first successful balloon
crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. Two years later Newman and two other
people flew Double Eagle V in the first-ever balloon crossing over the
Pacific. In 1985, he joined America West Airlines as a Boeing 737
co-pilot and ascended to the left seat a year later. He later flew 757s.

Q
& A:
Question of
the Week
For EAA
Information Services
If I purchase a kit that someone has started to
build, can I still do repair and maintenance work on
it once I complete it?
Answer: Yes,
you can. If it is a partially completed experimental
amateur-built aircraft, you may finish it and, after
it is completed, continue to do maintenance, repair,
and modifications. You will not be authorized to
perform the annual condition inspection until you
obtain the airplane's repairman certificate, as
stated in the operating limitations issued for the
aircraft. Your other option, should you choose not
to obtain the repairman certificate, is to hire an
A&P mechanic.

INTRODUCE WOMEN TO
FLIGHT EVENT EXTENDED THROUGH 2010

eight countries on three continents introduced a record number of girls
and women, age 2 to 70, to the joy of flying in balloons, gliders,
ultralights, airplanes, and helicopters. But due to wintry weather in
many locations, some women couldn't participate, so event organizer
Mireille Goyer has broadened the challenge: 2,010 girls and women
introduced to aviation by a woman pilot in the year 2010. Male pilots
who believe women belong at the controls of an aircraft are also
welcome. Awards will be presented. To learn more and register, visit www.CentennialOfWomenPilots.com.
