AOPA AVIATION SUMMIT 2010

WELCOME

Greetings! Welcome to AOPA’s Aviation Summit. I’m excited to have you here as we join together to “Rally GA!” There’s so much going on over the next few days that it’s impossible to do it all— but I invite you to have fun trying. This year’s Summit offers dozens of seminars designed to help you get the most out of your flying by helping you stay healthy, fly safely, and find great new ways to enjoy your time in the left seat. In the exhibit hall, you can find the latest tools, avionics, and innovations from all the top names in general aviation. Hands-on displays and product demonstrations let you explore the newest developments in everything from headsets to glass panel displays. At Airportfest, you can get close to some of the world’s most beautiful aircraft, including classic warbirds, brand new light sport aircraft, very light jets, experimental airplanes, and everything in between. Each day we’ll bring you the decision makers who change the way we fly, including top elected and appointed officials. Morning keynotes will cover the issues that matter the most to us as pilots while interviews with leaders in the general aviation community will take place throughout the day on the AOPA Live stage in the exhibit hall. Don’t worry if you can’t take it all in—we’ll be archiving AOPA Live so you can watch online. With so much going on, I hope you’ll also take some time to simply enjoy the company of your fellow aviators. After all, sharing stories with people who can truly understand and appreciate them is always a fun part of any gathering of pilots. Whether you’re simply mingling at Airportfest or taking part in one of the many social events scheduled throughout the coming days, I encourage you to get to know your fellow AOPA members—they’re an amazing group of individuals who share a passion for flying. It’s going to be a great few days. Thanks for being part of it. Sincerely,

Craig L. Fuller AOPA PRESIDENT AND CEO

First, you’ll own the short field. Climb faster with more payload than competing aircraft. at the same time, the Mustang is stable, forgiving and easy to fly. and Cessna’s pilot-focused intrinzic™ flight deck, powered by the garmin g1000®, will feel like second nature from day one. when you take stock and ask “what’s next?”, you’ll find the answer in the Mustang.

Aspen Customer Gallery: Thom Blischok’s Cessna T310R

“The choice was simple… I like lots of redundancy”

"I bought N310AR with plans to make her as perfect as possible for two reasons: first, safety and second, I simply wanted an airplane that I could be proud of every time I flew her. When it came time to overhaul the panel, I chose Aspen glass primarily because of the system redundancy it offers, as well as the significant situational awareness capabilities. Flying safety is all about effective situational awareness. My home base is Phoenix and it can be challenging to maneuver the high-density training environment as well as being mindful of the surrounding terrain. The ability to configure and manage the Aspen information dynamically is very, very powerful.” www.aspenavionics.com/customergallery

AOPA SWEEPSTAKES

2011 Sweepstakes The “Crossover Classic” Sweepstakes For 2011, AOPA’s “Crossover Classic”—a fully restored and updated 1974 Cessna 182P—will be given away as AOPA’s annual sweepstakes airplane. Bought from a long-time owner in Middletown, Ohio, this airplane has benefitted from perhaps the most extensive refurbishment of any of AOPA’s sweeps offerings. First off, Air Plains (of Wellington, Kansas) replaced the airplane’s stock, 230-hp Continental O-470 engine with a 300-hp Continental IO-550. Presto! 70 more horsepower, and now 162-knot cruise speeds are possible. Also added were a new Hartzell three-blade propeller and Flint Aero wingtip fuel tanks that hold 12 gallons per side. Total fuel capacity? 98 gallons. Couple that with the airplane’s speed and you have a very unique Skylane indeed. Advantage Avionics of Chino, California then gutted the original panel and installed Garmin’s G500, two-screen display system, plus twin GPS receivers and Garmin’s GTS 800 traffic advisory system. JP Instruments supplied its EDM-930 engine data monitor, PS Engineering brought its Bluetooth-capable PMA 8000BT audio panel to the cockpit, L-3 Communications added its Trilogy electronic standby instrument system, and CO Guardian supplied its carbon monoxide detector—which doubles as a clock and cabin altitude alert. Speaking of altitude capability, Mountain High equipped the plane with one of its portable oxygen systems. Oh, and there’s Cobham/S-TEC’s System Fifty-Five X autopilot. All this, and more, make for a highly capable front office, complete with XM WX datalink weather. The 1970’s red-fabric interior was replaced by a newly-designed, all- leather conversion created by Air Mod of Batavia, Ohio. This included new side panels, new windows from LP Aero Plastics, and AmSafe’s seatbelt air bag system. Saircorp provided its very popular center console, and new control yokes from Avion Research round out the interior work package. The final touches came from Scheme Designers, who developed the paint scheme, and BOSS Aircraft Refinishers of Salisbury, North Carolina, which applied the Sherwin-Williams paint. Bottom line? The airplane is a fast, capable, and comfortable as it is good-looking.

So, who won it? We’ll let you know this weekend. Maybe it’s already yours, and you don’t know it! Stop by the static display at the Hartford-Brainard Airport and take a good look at this remarkable airplane!

2012 Sweepstakes The “Tougher Than a Tornado Husky” Sweepstakes Even for an airplane built for adventure, the AOPA 2012 “Tougher Than A Tornado Husky” has had an eventful young life. The brand new airplane was damaged in the March 31 Sun’n Fun tornado that destroyed dozens of airplanes all around it. Although scarred, the Tornado Husky was patched up enough to fly home to the Aviat Aircraft factory in Wyoming where the craftsmen who built it returned it to perfect condition. The Tornado Husky is now ready to take on the wilderness with oversized Alaskan Bushwheels, a Garmin 696 GPS with terrain warnings, and vortex generators that allow exceptional short-field performance. It’s also refined with a leather interior, teak floor, LED lights, and Oregon Aero seats that make long flights comfortable. This rugged, versatile aircraft can vault mountains, land almost anywhere, and transport its winner to exciting locations from the arctic to the equator. And wherever the winner of this outstanding aircraft flies, he or she can travel with confidence knowing this tested airplane can meet any challenge. This dog will hunt, and it will be anticipating your admiration at Airportfest!

AOPA AVIATION SUMMIT 2011

INTRODUCING AOPA’S 2012 SWEEPSTAKES

Let the adventures begin!

After surviving a brush with a tornado at the 2011 Sun ’n Fun Fly-In, this rough-and-ready Aviat Husky is back on the flight line and ready for adventure. A 180-horsepower Lycoming engine, MT three-blade prop, and oversized Alaskan Bushwheels allow this Husky A-1C to go anywhere and land anywhere.

Tall grass, rocks, and uneven ground can’t stop this all-terrain airplane from reaching destinations in high mountains, deserts, or the arctic. And it can be ﬁtted with ﬂoats or skis for adventure in all seasons.

SUMMIT AWARDS

Joseph B. “Doc” Hartranft Jr., Award (R-Mo.) is the 2011 recipient of the Joseph B. “Doc” Hartranft Jr., Award – one of AOPA’s two highest honors—for his tireless work on behalf of general aviation in the United States Congress. The Hartranft Award is presented annually to an elected or appointed government official, whether federal, state, local, or foreign, who has made significant contributions to the advancement of general aviation. As co-chair of the General Aviation Caucus, Congressman Graves spearheaded a GA Caucus letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requesting that the Commission take all necessary steps to protect GPS from interference without imposing additional cost burdens on GPS users. The letter was signed by 36 members of the Caucus. He argued successfully to have several general aviation-friendly provisions included in the House FAA Reauthorization bill and has been an outspoken critic of user fees. And he has been a strong advocate against onerous security regulations on general aviation, and led the fight against the TSA’s original Large Aircraft Security Program (LASP). As a pilot himself, Congressman Graves truly ‘gets’ general aviation. His work on behalf of his fellow pilots epitomizes what defines a Hartranft Award winner. The Joseph B. “Doc” Hartranft Jr., Award is named for AOPA’s first employee, longtime president and former chairman of the board. Recipients of the award are outstanding advocates of general aviation. Their selection can be based on one action or a series of actions resulting in a benefit to general aviation in the areas of utilization, safety, facilities, operation, regulation, education or information.

Oil Analysis

Laurence P. Sharples Perpetual Award , a county commissioner in Washoe County, Nevada, and volunteer for AOPA’s Airport Support Network at Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is the 2011 recipient of the Laurence P. Sharples Perpetual Award. The Sharples Award is AOPA’s highest honor for individuals and is presented annually to the person (or persons) who has made the most significant contributions to the advancement of general aviation. Commissioner Larkin was honored for his work to ensure that general aviation would continue to have access at RNO. The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority took action last year to reduce and limit general aviation access at RNO by failing to renew the leases of two FBOs and taking over rental of hangars there. Airport Administration indicated they would operate the existing hangars for “at least one year or until new hangars were built at Reno-Stead Airport,” which the Authority also operates. Commissioner Larkin, working closely with AOPA, assisted local pilots in organizing the Reno-Tahoe Aviation Association and tutored them on how to deal with the Airport Authority, and facilitated resolutions for continued support of general aviation facilities at RNO by Washoe County and City of Sparks, Nev. In addition to his work as a county commissioner and Airport Support Network volunteer, Larkin is an active flight instructor. The Laurence P. Sharples Perpetual Award is named for AOPA’s first chairman of the board and is given each year to the person or persons who best emulates the unselfish contribution to general aviation which characterized the life of L.P. Sharples.
