Well that is exactly what happened with the idea of make-model sets for sport pilots. Jim Sweeney talks about the history, the changes, and what has replaced the purpose of make-model sets. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/07/06/psf100706c.mp3 Tue, 6 Jul 2010 01:00:00 GMT 21:08 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jul 6, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) When you are learning to paraglider or powered paraglider, the most critical step is learning your wing. Jeff Goin breaks down that step for us and talks about what kind of wing you should learn on and what it is a starter wing should provide. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/07/06/psf100706d.mp3 Tue, 6 Jul 2010 01:00:00 GMT 26:04 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jul 6, 2010 (Segment 5 of 5) The Sho-Me Chute Flyers Annual Fly-In is coming up and Ernie Baugh joins us to talk about the powered parachute event and how it benefits Camp Quality.

On one hand the FAA is demanding that pilots have emergency beacons and on the other the FCC is proposing to Prohibit the certification, manufacture, importation, sale, or continued use of 121.5 MHz emergency locator transmitters (ELT's) other than the Breitling Emergency Watch ELT." Of course most pilots already use the 121.5 MHz beacons. You decide whether to get frustrated or just laugh at the bureaucracy. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/22/psf100622a.mp3 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 28:30 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 22, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) Sadler Aircraft is for sale and David Littlejohn joins us to talk about the origins of the company, the S-LSA Vampire airplane that the company has been working on and the reasons he believes the design will continue on even as the company seeks new owners. For those who are fans of the old ultralight Vampire, we talk a little about that, too. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/22/psf100622b.mp3 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 24:42 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 22, 2010 (Segment 3 of 5) The FAA recently made a change to charting on the sectionals that makes special use airspace a little easier to interpret. Alert Areas have recently changed from being Blue in color to now being Magenta. This means that special use airspace is now easily sorted into areas that you must stay out of during certain times and areas you might want to stay out of. Jim Sweeney explains. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/22/psf100622c.mp3 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 23:12 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 22, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) Fuel continues to be a frustration and a hazard for those using autogas in areas that mix ethanol into their autofuel. Mike Stratman talks about some of the dangers as well as some of the ways to make sure that the fuel that gets to your engine won't actually harm your engine. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/22/psf100622d.mp3 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 27:45 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 22, 2010 (Segment 5 of 5) It has been awhile since Roy updated everyone about things that are going on with the radio show and with Powered Sport Flying Magazine.

This year is no exception with an emphasis being on electric aircraft. Ron Wagner joins us to talk about what the EAA is doing to promote this exciting technology at AirVenture 2010. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/07/psf100608a.mp3 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 25:44 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 8, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) GPS devices quickly become mandatory equipment for anyone who gets one and begins using it for cross country flying. Bob Heimberger has been designing a new instrument pod for his Magni gyroplane and of course is incorporating a GPS. However, the brand new Garmin GPS he purchased has some technical problems that are proving to be a challenge all by themselves. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/07/psf100608b.mp3 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 24:57 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 8, 2010 (Segment 3 of 5) Just when you thought that registering your aircraft with the FAA was a done deal, it turns out that maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Jim Sweeney talks about a requirement for aircraft owners that may not be a requirement for you if your ownership status hasn't changed. But the stakes are high enough that you may need to take action, even if an FAA form itself tells you that you don't. Confused? Jim will help sort it out. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/07/psf100608c.mp3 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 22:19 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 8, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) The FAA has presented their ominously titled "Final Report" on their Light-Sport AIrcraft Manufacturers Assessment. There are many ways the industry needs to improve in the FAA's eyes, with an implied "or else" if it doesn't happen. Dan Johnson discusses the polititcal and regulatory issues cropping up world-wide. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/07/psf100608d.mp3 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 29:18 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 8, 2010 (Segment 5 of 5) One of the things pilots often desire to do is to share the wonderful view from above with others. Richard Raskoff has done that by creating the book Mojave, where he presents a photographic tour of the Mojave Desert in California from his Thundergull ultralight. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/07/psf100608e.mp3 Tue, 8 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 17:01 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 1, 2010 (Segment 1 of 5) As a sport aviator you may have heard the term Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast or ADSB in acronym -speak. It is part of another system you may have heard of called the Next Generation Air Transportation System. Earl Lawrence explains what all of this is and why you should be aware of it all. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/01/psf100601a.mp3 Tue, 1 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 33:50 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 1, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) It sometimes seems that the federal government is doing its best to make it more difficult for people to get into the sky. That said, there are still a few ways that offer less hassle than others. Tim Kern talks about two of those ways, ultralights and motorgliders. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/01/psf100601b.mp3 Tue, 1 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 22:47 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 1, 2010 (Segment 3 of 5) Jim Sweeney gives us an update on another broadcast system that has been going through some changes. Over a year ago the federal government stopped satellite monitoring of 121.5 MHz, the emergency frequency for aircraft. They opted to focus on the more technically advanced -and more expensive- 406Mhz systems. Jim talks about what is required of airplane owners and what is a good system to equip your airplane with. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/06/01/psf100601c.mp3 Tue, 1 Jun 2010 01:00:00 GMT 21:30 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jun 1, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) Jim Sweeney gives us an update on another broadcast system that has been going through some changes.

Earl talks about the challenges and resources out there for earthrounders. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/05/11/psf100511a.mp3 Tue, 11 May 2010 01:00:00 GMT 26:23 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on May 11, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) It's rare for someone to be a pilot with only 0.23% of the US population being active pilots. Of that 0.23% only 6% of pilots are female pilots. Yes, that means only .014% of the US population. Dr. Penny Hamilton asks the basic question, "Why is that?" Well, she's actually been asking people a lot more than that and we talk with her about what some of those questions are, who she's asking, and the trends she's beginning to discover that will hopefully lead to more women becoming pilots. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/05/11/psf100511b.mp3 Tue, 11 May 2010 01:00:00 GMT 25:08 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on May 11, 2010 (Segment 3 of 5) You may remember that Sonex invited the FAA's newly formed National Kit Evaluation Team (NKET) to use Sonex, Waiex and Xenos kits for their practice evaluation exercises.

Earl Lawrence talks about the difference between the "hobby" of flying and almost any other recreational activity you might get involved in. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/23/psf100323a.mp3 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 30:46 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 23, 2010 (Segment 2 of 4) In the United States, a couple of web sites are staples of the powered paragliding world. There is usppa.org and footflyer.com. Jeff Goin is involved with both and talks about the kind of content you can find on each one including some recent changes that are part of the USPPA web site. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/23/psf100323b.mp3 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 26:23 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 23, 2010 (Segment 3 of 4) Spring is afoot and it's time to start reviewing the basics before you take to the sky. Jim Sweeney talks to us about VFR cruising altitudes. If you are planning to fly at any kind of altitude, it is important to know the flow of traffic so you can go with that flow. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/23/psf100323c.mp3 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 27:06 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 23, 2010 (Segment 4 of 4) Bob Heimberger has built a number of aircraft and is getting ready for his second gyro build project. One of the things he has incorporated into the avionics packages he installed in his first gyro and plans on installing in his new Magni is a transponder. He talks about why he flies with one and some things to consider before buying one. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/23/psf100323d.mp3 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 33:10 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 16, 2010 (Segment 1 of 5) Last week Earl Lawrence participated in the EAA/FAA Winter Recreational Aviation Summit held at EAA Headquarters. Lots of ground was covered, addressing a variety of sport aviator concerns such as Amateur Built and LSA Safety and the need for us to redouble our focus and use of available safety programs such as the FAA FAAST, EAA Flight Advisor and Technical Councilor, and AOPA Air Safety on-line courses. A discussion of Sport Pilot instruction included having the instruction count toward higher certificates as well as clearing up conflicts in requirements for instruction by reference to instruments. AD's, Experimental exhibition aircraft operation limitations and even wood adhesives were discussed. We'll see how much we can cover in one segment. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/16/psf100316a.mp3 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 30:31 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 16, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) Mathieu Heintz joins us to talk about the FAA's Zodiac 601/650 Aircraft Report and the proactive stance Zenith has taken in both while working with the FAA to learn what was going on with the fleet.

This has been a request from FBO's, schools, instructors, and manufacturers to qualify for "basic" operating of ROTAX 912 engines. This is especially important for pilots and mechanics transitioning from classic aircraft engines (Continental/Lycoming) to the ROTAX 912. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/09/psf100309c.mp3 Tue, 9 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 20:59 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 9, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) Aircraft security is something that is becoming more and more important, especially with recent events. However, AOPA has been working on airport security issues for years and their approach has been to train pilots and other airport regulars on how to spot suspicious behavior. We talk about AOPA initiatives with Chris Dancy. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/09/psf100309d.mp3 Tue, 9 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 22:11 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 9, 2010 (Segment 5 of 5) Spring is coming and while powered paragliders don't officially need annual inspections, now is probably the time to do the equivalent of one for your equipment. Jeff Goin talks about the tasks you can and should do as well as the things that you probably want to refer to professionals. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/03/09/psf100309e.mp3 Tue, 9 Mar 2010 01:00:00 GMT 18:16 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Mar 2, 2010 (Segment 1 of 5) Earl Lawrence was a featured speaker at the Illinois Ultralight and Light Plane Safety Seminar.

Current actions (or inaction) from the FAA is putting a lot of flight instructors and their students in an impossible situation where CFI's can't use their own E-LSA aircraft to provide training. The regulations allow it, but the guidance isn't clear from the FAA to its own people. Earl Lawrence discusses the details and the work that is going on. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/02/16/psf100216a.mp3 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 01:00:00 GMT 31:59 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Feb 16, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) The past week or so has been pretty busy at PRA headquarters.

The good news is that the TSA has figured out that it is better to work with general aviation than against it. But before you break out the party hats thinking that the TSA is just going to go away, take a moment to think again. Earl Lawrence explains the new tack the TSA may take. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/02/09/psf100209a.mp3 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 01:00:00 GMT 25:42 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Feb 9, 2010 (Segment 2 of 4) Paul Hamilton is not just a the producer of great video and written training products.

Carol Carpenter has been fielding a lot of questions on the topic and she tells us what people are asking. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/12/psf100112b.mp3 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 33:29 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 12, 2010 (Segment 3 of 4) If you don't regularly fly into controlled airspace a lot you have two worries. The first is how to behave in the sky while interacting with the tower. Less talked about is the kinds of things the tower expects out of you when you are taxiing on the ground. Jim Sweeney goes over those finer points of taxi procedures at controlled airports. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/12/psf100112c.mp3 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 35:18 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 12, 2010 (Segment 4 of 4) The Grand Poobah of the Sport Aviation Expo, Bob Wood, joins us to talk about the premier event of the aviation season.

When you move into other categories of aircraft, ratings are sometimes organized a little differently, sometimes surprisingly. Earl Lawrence joins us to talk about it. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/05/psf100105a.mp3 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 29:14 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 5, 2010 (Segment 2 of 5) A lot has been going on in light sport aircraft manufacturing and Dan Johnson gives us a review of 2009 and tells us some of the things we can look forward to seeing in 2010. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/05/psf100105b.mp3 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 25:03 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 5, 2010 (Segment 3 of 5) We all know that it's a good idea to knock the snow off of your wings before you go flying, but what about that benign-looking layer of frost you might see early on a winter morning? Can it be that bad? Jim Sweeney explains the aerodynamics. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/05/psf100105c.mp3 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 15:47 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 5, 2010 (Segment 4 of 5) Lots of pilots are modifying and updating the aircraft they own instead of buying new ones when their flying needs change.

Bever Borne joins us to talk about what goes into the change. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/05/psf100105d.mp3 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 23:03 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight Roy Beisswenger Interview on Jan 5, 2010 (Segment 5 of 5) If you buy your powered paragliding equipment from a dealer or instructor, the odds are good that the wing and motor are going to match each other and your weight and skill level nicely. If you head out into the used market, you are responsible for making everything fit. Jeff Goin tells us how that works. http://www.psfradio.com/impodcast/2010/01/05/psf100105e.mp3 Tue, 5 Jan 2010 01:00:00 GMT 24:02 aaviation, flying, fly, pilot, ultralight, aviation, sport, gyroplane, gyrocopter, airplane, trike, eaa, usua, pra, usppa, aircraft, parasail, ultraflight
