Best of the aviation web – 4 August 2008

1) Nasa courses on icing
This NASA website contains not less than 6 hours of training material about icing. There are two courses: ground icing, to help pilot to make good decisions, and in-flight icing to help pilots to deal with that tricky situation. Click here to start the courses.

2) 5 airports in one flight
That video was already on a handful of other blogs, but I could not resist to link to it here as well. If you don’t heard of it before, I don’t want to reveal what it is… simply have a look. It’s not something that anybody can do, it takes good connections. Click here to see the video.

3) Concorde model taken out of Heathrow
If you take a look at London Heathrow airport in Google Earth and search 350 meters north of the northern runway, you’ll find a Concorde model, used to decorate a roundabout. This has now been removed, and replaced by a 1/3 scale model of an Emirates Airbus A380. Click here to read the dailymail report on this replacement.

4) Flying car again
Since the 50’s, several models of “flying cars” have been announced, but none are flying today. With the new LSA category, this could finally become true. Click here to read more about a new model.

5) Malibu’s owner blog
Jon is the happy owner of a Malibu Mirage, and I found his blog via a comment he left on my post about ears problems in flight. Jon’s blog is richly illustrated, and is definitely worth a visit, but you’ll then probably fall in love with the Malibu family. Click here to read Jon’s blog.

6) Online lookbook
If you’re a US pilot looking for an electronic logbook, you should check this website. You can store your electronic version online, which is rather good for disaster recovery. As US and European formats are rather different, it’s not suited for JAA pilots. Click here to go to www.logshare.com.
