“FINISH UP” COURSES Thousands of aspiring pilots begin a flight training program but never finish. Demands of work or family, finances, illness, a conflict with a flight instructor or a learning hurdle can keep even dedicated students from their goals. Sometimes it’s just a pause; sometimes it’s years before the student returns, and sometimes the student never does.

Sporty’s Academy wants to help these “stalled” pilots achieve their dream of earning a pilot’s certificate.

“Just like when you transfer to a different college, we want to give you maximum credit for what you’ve already learned,” says Sporty’s Academy President Eric Radtke. “We’ll evaluate your training records, and/or logbook, talk to you in depth about your experience and build a customized flight training program just for you.”

Everything is in place at Sporty’s Academy for a seamless learning experience, including an FAA-written testing center, a dedicated aviation library, an on-staff designated pilot examiner and an aviation medical examiner on site.

ADS-B 101

What is it and how does it work?

WHAT IS ADS-B? Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), part of the FAA’s transformation of the Air Traffic Control system, is a nationwide network of ground stations that receives position reports from airplanes and relays them to controllers’ screens. Maybe more importantly, these ground stations also transmit subscription-free datalink weather and traffic to pilots in flight.

WHAT IS THE COVERAGE AREA? Unlike XM Weather, ADS-B is ground-based, so you need to be in range of a station to get updated weather. Fortunately, the FAA has completed an extensive network of ADS-B stations, and coverage is excellent across the US. Here is the FAA’s map of coverage area at 5,000 ft. In many areas, ADS-B is available just a few hundred feet above the ground.

HOW DO I GET WEATHER?

HOW DO I GET TRAFFIC?

Keeping track of weather is one of the most important things any pilot can do to fly safely, and the ADS-B network delivers NEXRAD radar, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, Pilot Reports and much more. Just turn on your ADS-B receiver, connect it to your iPad and you’ll see 5-10 minute old weather along your route of flight. Best of all, there are no monthly subscriptions for weather.

It's simple and easy.

The most important thing to understand is that ADS-B traffic is not like ADS-B weather. The weather product is broadcast to anyone with a receiver – like an AM radio station. ADS-B traffic, on the other hand, is very different. The ADS-B ground station sends a customized traffic picture only to aircraft with ADS-B Out transponders installed. If you don’t have ADS-B Out in the panel, the traffic picture is limited. See iPadPilotNews.com/Traffic for more information.

5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ADS-B OUT: 1 ADS-B Out avionics will be required by January 1, 2020 in most airspace where a transponder is today.

2 A WAAS GPS must be included in your ADS-B Out solution.

3 ADS-B Out compliance must be with panel-installed equipment (no portables).

4 ADS-B In equipage (for weather and traffic) is completely optional and may be portable.

5 ADS-B Out avionics are available from Garmin, Bendix/King, Appareo and others, starting under $5,000. See below.

STRATUS ESG TRANSPONDER The affordable, all-in-one ADS-B Out solution For too long, ADS-B has been expensive and complicated. Not any more. Appareo, the company that revolutionized ADS-B In with the Stratus series of portable weather receivers, has done it again.

Meet Stratus ESG, the affordable, all-in-one answer for adding ADS-B Out to your panel.

Benefits: • ADS-B Out transponder meets the FAA mandate • 1090ES technology – no altitude or geographic limitations • Integrated WAAS GPS for an all-in-one solution – nothing extra to buy • Includes new Mode C transponder – upgrade your old analog transponder

Connect to your Stratus portable: In addition to being a great transponder and an ADS-B Out solution, Stratus ESG can also connect to a Stratus portable ADS-B In receiver. This makes it a complete system, with subscription-free weather and traffic.

• Get a complete traffic picture in ForeFlight • Better ADS-B reception

• Fits in standard transponder slots – typically 50% less to install than 978 MHz solutions.

• Better GPS reception

• All mounting hardware and antennas included

• Works with Stratus 2, 1S and 2S

• Full-time power source Stratus ESG ADS-B Out Transponder

PIVOT

FINALLY, A PILOT FOCUSED CASE FOR THE iPAD

There are plenty of iPad cases to choose from, but none were designed specifically for aviation. Most are too bulky and cumbersome in tight cockpits. Add a beefy mounting system to the already-oversized case and you’re left with a system that takes up over half your flight bag. PIVOT combines a simple, robust case with a sleek mounting solution. This system has quickly become a favorite of many airline pilots— over 8000 pilots at Southwest Airlines are using the case in daily flight operations. It’s tough enough to work in any cockpit, but the case is also perfect for everyday use as your main iPad cover.

>>iPAD GPSs Bad Elf Gps for ipad and iphonE

STAFF PIREP JOHN ZIMMERMAN

Vice President, Catalog Division ratinGs: Commercial Pilot, Multi-engine, Instrument Rating, Helicopter Rating, Glider Rating

”The LTE model of the iPad, in addition to its built-in cellular antenna, also includes an internal GPS. The GPS is completely separate from the 4G data service, so you don’t need an active data plan for the GPS to work. You could buy the LTE model purely for the GPS and never activate the data plan, saving yourself some money.

But the on-board iPad GPS was made for ground use, and it’s not very reliable in the air. It has a tendency to drop offline, especially when switching between apps. For this reason, most iPad pilots— even those with a LTE iPad— opt for an external GPS like the ones at right. They are extremely accurate (WAASenabled) and very reliable.“

WHY OUR BAGS ARE THE BEST Technology has changed the way we fly, and flight bags need to change too. Gone are the days of carrying heavy chart binders and thick manuals - these have been replaced by iPads, ANR headsets and plenty of charging cords. The all-new Flight Gear collection is designed with these needs in mind, offering just the right amount of storage space in a series of streamlined, modern flight bags.

FROM THE PRESS “We like the design, durability and competitive price of Sporty’s flight bags.”

– The Aviation Consumer

DOUG RANLY

FLIGHT GEAR DESIGNER

“As an avid pilot and US Army veteran, I have high expectations. My gear needs to be thoughtfully designed and built to last. That’s why our team worked so hard to make sure every Flight Gear bag includes pilot-friendly details you won’t find anywhere else, like padded headset pockets and water-resistant bottoms. Our bags simply work better and last longer.”

FEATURES

RIGOROUS TESTING

Real world pilot pockets – Flight Gear was created exclusively for pilots – no gimmicks or camping features here. Pilot-friendly features include padded headset pockets, padded iPad pockets, iPad accessory organizers for ADS-B receivers and GPSs, quick-access file folder pockets and our exclusive HideAway Headset Pockets.

Just the right size – The perfect flight bag is large enough to carry everything you need for a flight, but not so big that it is cumbersome or hard to store in the cockpit. Flight Gear bags strike the right balance, with room to carry multiple headsets, an iPad, backup charts and all the accessories – but they remain easy to carry and never look bulky.

Unmatched durability – Pilots need a bag they can count on – after all, it’s protecting some expensive and important gear. Every Flight Gear bag features pilot-tested construction techniques, like double-stitched seams, water-resistant rubber bottoms and strong metal hardware. Plus, each bag comes with an industry-leading 6-year warranty.

Not just for flying – While these bags were designed for pilots, you’ll find them both flexible enough and stylish enough to use every day: at the gym, as a carry-on airline bag or at the office.

CROSSWIND Ideal for student pilots or weekend fliers Designed by student pilots in our flight school, this bag has room for everything you carry, with nothing extraneous—all at an unbeatable price. Measures 15"l x 9"w x 91⁄2"h overall; center compartment measures 13"l x 81⁄2"w x 9"h.

Flight Gear Crosswind Bag 8000A $49.95 Optional Embroidery 8109A $9.95

Every product that goes into Sporty’s catalog must meet our high standards. This is especially true for our Flight Gear bags, so we put them through a series of tests to make sure they would exceed your expectations.

Real World – pilots flew with these bags for months and they looked as good as new.

Weight – loaded with more bricks than one bag could fit (over 120 lbs.), we couldn’t break the shoulder strap.

Water – after a torrential downpour, the contents of the bag stayed dry.

The product tester did not!

Durability – we filled a bag with paper charts and threw it off the roof of our warehouse. Hardly a scratch.

Crazy Pilot Test – We loaded a bag full of bricks, then tossed it out of a helicopter. The bricks inside cracked, but the bag survived.

BACKPACK New lightweight design When it comes to protecting your aviation gear, don’t settle for a hiking pack. This custom-designed backpack is made just for pilots, and has specific pockets to organize your headsets, iPad, flashlight, fuel tester, radio and more. Measures 18"h x 14"w x 7"d.

HERO4 BLACK EDITION The Hero4 Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro ever. Featuring Ultra-High-Definition 4K recording, WiFi + Bluetooth® connectivity, highperformance audio, powerful photo capture and wide angle video, this is a truly powerful camera.

GoPro Hero4 Black Edition 6901A $499.99 64GB MicroSD card 8063A $79.95

PROPELLER FILTER All video cameras suffer from the “rolling shutter” effect, which distorts the propeller and can ruin a good video.

Use one of these snapon filters to eliminate prop blur—it’s easy.

Simply attach to the waterproof case on your GoPro and go flying. Works with HERO3 & 4; not compatible with HERO4 Session.

GoPro Hero3+ and Hero4 Prop Filter

HERO4 SILVER EDITION The Hero4 Silver Edition is the first GoPro to incorporate a touch screen right into the camera. It makes operating the camera easier and just as simple as using a smartphone. Featuring HighDefinition 1080p recording, wide angle video, WiFi + Bluetooth®, and auto low light, this camera is perfect for beginner and expert videographers alike.

HERO4 SESSION The newest camera from GoPro makes remote mounting even easier.

The small size means less drag when mounted out on a wing, but it still has many of the pilot friendly features we’ve come to love with the GoPro. It still captures better than 1080p60 and can take 8MP still images.

Weighing in at only 2.6oz. the Session is 35% smaller and 40% lighter than other HERO4 cameras.

The Yuneec Q500 is a steady, easy-touse platform that anyone can operate. If you want to go commercial with your drone, be sure to get the FAA exemption completed.

I often find myself searching for the perfect destination. Finding that hidden gem that few people know about is one of the pleasures of being a pilot.

Isolated locations are not as remote when you’re flying an aircraft. Use one of these books to find that next destination, but don’t forget, flying is more about the journey than the destination.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about aviation education, it’s that learning never stops— whether you are a student pilot or an ATP. Sporty’s Air Facts Series addresses this fact with host Richard L. Collins, a renowned aviation journalist with thousands of hours of experience in a variety of general aviation aircraft. In each program, Collins presents the knowledge and ingenuity acquired through years of real-world flying and teaches you how to apply the same veteran skills and hard-learned techniques.

Thirty-five informative programs on 9 DVDs teach you to manage the risks of flight and increase the safety factor in whatever type flying you do.

So keep learning! You’ll end up a better, smoother, SAFER pilot regardless of the certificates you hold.

WIN!

For over 20 years, Sporty’s has awarded a brand new airplane to one lucky customer just for placing an order. This time, we’re giving away a brand new Legend Cub. No other plane speaks to the heart and soul of General Aviation like the enduring Piper Cub. Originally produced from 1937 to 1947, the Cub’s simple and honest design has proven robust enough to be used in battle as a reconnaissance plane, yet still be a forgiving trainer. The Legend Cub combines the basic design of the original Cub with modern technology to create an aircraft that can be described as both modern and nostalgic. The Legend Cub, today’s most popular American manufactured light-sport aircraft, is a modern legend possessing the right blend of flyboy fun. We believe it to be unequivocally the most gratifying recreational aircraft in the skies today.

SUNGLASSES >>RAY-BAN High quality construction and distinctive styling have become trademarks of Ray-Ban sunglasses. From their early military origins in the 1930s to today, these sunglasses have become known for being the ultimate “pilot’s sunglasses.”

WHY WE DON’T SELL POLARIZED SUNGLASSES Many sunglasses today are polarized, meaning they use an optical filter to reduce glare. While this is fine for fishing or driving, it’s a bad idea for pilots. That’s because many cockpit instruments and glass panels have polarized faces, and polarized sunglasses will render these unreadable. In addition, the iPad screen will be blacked out in portrait orientation when wearing polarized sunglasses. Sporty’s sells a wide variety of high quality sunglasses that do an excellent job of reducing glare--but without polarization.

Make your own prescription sunglasses Turn your favorite sunglasses into reading glasses—make flight plans clearer and cockpit gauges easier to read. (Use at top of lenses for overhead switches.) Lenses “stick” through molecular attraction, are reusable and leave no residue.

Lenses are optically correct—cut to fit any style of glasses without changing their power. A great alternative to expensive prescription sunglasses.

Available in six diopter powers (+1.25, +1.50, +1.75, +2.00, +2.50 and +3.00). Please specify magnification when ordering.

GARMIN D2 BRAVO WATCH

RATINGS: Commercial Pilot, Multi-engine Rating, Flight Instructor

”There’s an old adage that says you can tell how experienced a commercial pilot is by the length of their left arm. The heavy watch causes it to stretch, making your left arm two inches longer than the right.

While this might not be 100% true, it is a fact that pilots have a special appreciation for their watches.

Not just a status symbol, the pilot’s watch adds a level of functionality that can be utilized on a daily basis.“

G-SHOCK WATCHES Manufactured for the adventurer, G-Shock watches combine pilot friendly features with a durable, shock proof housing. Stainless steel case is protected in a resin shell and is water-resistant to 200 meters.

The original Garmin D2 created a whole new category of technology, the GPS-enabled pilot watch, and became one of aviation’s must-have accessories. The latest edition combines practical features and a sophisticated design to create the most impressive timepiece we’ve ever seen.

FINDING THE RIGHT

HEADSET Buying an aviation headset is a surprisingly personal decision. There is no “right answer” for every pilot – it depends on the type of flying you do, what airplane you fly most often and your personal preferences.

Here are a few things to consider as you compare models.

QUIET There are two ways to cancel noise: passive noise reduction (PNR) and active noise reduction (ANR). Almost every headset has at least some PNR, which is created by the headset’s ear seals physically blocking noise from reaching your ears. ANR, maybe the best thing that ever happened to headsets, goes further. In addition to passively reducing noise, ANR headsets use electronics to sense the noise in the cockpit and then cancel it by emitting a sound wave with the same amplitude but inverted phase. Some call it magic, but rest assured, it’s a really neat science that makes it happen.

HOW DOES ANR WORK?

BLUETOOTH FEATURES Modern headsets can wirelessly connect to your smartphone via Bluetooth, which allows you to make phone calls from the cockpit while enjoying the noise canceling benefits of your headset. This is great for calling Flight Service on the ground.

Passengers also love this feature for listening to music in flight. Some headsets even offer built-in audio controls right on the headset.

COMFORT While many pilots focus on how quiet a headset is, comfort may be even more important. After all, it doesn’t matter how good the noise cancellation is if it’s too uncomfortable to wear. In general, the lighter a headset is, the more comfortable it will be. Other factors are also important, like the quality of the ear seals and headband.

CABLE VARIATIONS Most headsets come in a variety of cable variations – that is, what the plugs look like that connect to the airplane. The most common connector is the twin plug, often called PJ plugs. These are found in fixed wing aircraft, primarily general aviation airplanes, but many airliners are using it too. When in doubt, buy a PJ plug headset. Another good option for general aviation airplanes is the 6-pin or LEMO plug. It allows the headset’s ANR box to draw power from the aircraft panel, eliminating the need for batteries in the headset.

Helicopters use a single, shorter plug called a U-174/U connector.

THE TAKEAWAY In general, you get what you pay for with aviation headsets – in terms of quiet, comfort and audio features. When in doubt, the old advice to “buy the most headset you can afford” is pretty good. Most quality headsets will last for a decade if you take care of them, so it’s an investment that will pay off. If you’re not sure, Sporty’s Test Flight Guarantee can be a major benefit. Take your headset flying and make sure it works for you.
