Thank you to all the airport supporters that turned out for the Special HLUET Committee Meeting Monday, Sept. 17, 2018. Between CAAPSO, SCAPA and the SJSU Aviation Department contingent, by my count supporters greatly outnumbered the anti-airport contingent. I also would like to everyone for their great comments and their very respectful tone. That even-tempered tone was also commended by the Supervisors.

We had a great presentation on Tuesday, September 11th from NASA-Ames Research Center scientist Dr. Key Dismukes on pilot cognition, procedural task management, "remembering to remember" prospective memory and their impact on how pilots can manage flight tasks to fly more safely. 

Key was kind enough to approve our posting his presentation, and you can download it as a pdf here.

Thank you, Dr. Dismukes!

Almost half the aircraft in the San Francisco Bay Area are not yet ADS-B compliant. If they do not take action now to schedule the necessary equipment changes, they will be grounded on January 1, 2020.

How will the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast system affect the way pilots fly? What are the different types of compliant radios, their costs, benefits and limitations? What are the installation requirements for aircraft owners?
