BRIEFING

1. From reader Ken Dial: True or
False? The bar-tailed godwit, a shorebird, migrates from its breeding grounds
in Alaska to its winter grounds in New
Zealand by flying nonstop and diagonally
across the Pacific Ocean, a distance of more
than 7,000 miles.
2. An airplane is parked on a ramp at
5,000 feet msl when the ambient temperature is 100 degrees F. The altimeter has

Getting around on the ground
THE FAA CONTINUES to harp on runway
incursion avoidance, partly because it’s
such an avoidable problem. Follow the
signs and markings, instructions, and standard procedures and we should be OK.
Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy,
even though many of the problems can be
traced to a lack of basic knowledge of the
system.
Getting Around on the Ground is a
new computer program (Windows, Mac,
or iPad) that provides an in-depth resource
and simulator for every ground situation
that pilots could encounter. The program is divided into two parts—lengthy

FLIGHT REVIEW GROUND SCHOOL

chapter-based lessons that cover all the
knowledge and theory of ground operations, and a simulator that allows the user
to move an imaginary airplane on the surface of an airport while trying to follow air
traffic control instructions.
Although there are many other quality
resources available on this topic, Getting
Around on the Ground is probably the
most thorough one you’ll find. If you’re
at all unsure about how to get from point
A to point B on an airport, this is the program to try.
PRICE: $99

What it is: A new way to complete a flight review. WingsRealityEDU recently
launched what we believe is the first online flight review ground school.
The concept is simple. Take an online course, get an endorsement, take that
endorsement to an instructor for the flight portion of the flight review, fly, and then
get the instructor to sign you off for another two years. Online training has been
used effectively in everything from calculus to flight instructor renewals for years,
so it only makes sense that we should be able to conduct our minimum one hour of
ground training remotely and at our own pace.
The course is broken up into chapters that cover a number of different topics pilots need to maintain currency and safety. The presentation is basic, but the
information is solid.
How much it costs: $29.95
