BASICMED is here!

After years of lobbying by both EAA and AOPA, The FAA has finally put into effect a new medical rule that will make it easier for pilots who have expired medical certificates and wish to return to flying status.  AOPA has made the process so easy that just about anyone can comply with this new rule with very few problems and return to the air.  See the BASICMED panel on the left of this page for a link to the AOPA basicmed web page, as well as links to printable copies of the information that will help you understand the new rule.

Dreams…The catalyst for achievement,
Eugene Cernan, a retired NASA Astronaut (remember him?) has written a beautiful article that pretty much describes the reason why our chapter is so committed to supporting youth education in aviation.  The article will appear in the August issue of Sport Aviation Magazine published by EAA.  A complete copy of the article can be found on our Young Eagles page.
