Aircraft Owners Take Note
The FAA no longer mails Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (SAIBs) to aircraft owners. These are now being provided through email.
You can sign up for this email service online by clicking on subscribe for email delivery of ADs and SAIBs. You can also mail a pre-printed, postage-paid postcard, which is available at Monadnock Aviation, or contact the FAA by telephone at 405-954-4103. As in the past, the information will continue to be available online at the above link. |

New Publications
The Terminal Procedures, Airport Facility Directory, and IFR Enroute Charts will expire on September 23rd. Replacements will be available at Monadnock Aviation.
Never discover that your charts have already expired again. Place a standing order with us and we'll notify you when your charts are about to expire then we'll deliver the new charts to your aircraft or hold them at the FBO for pick up. We offer this service for free to help keep your charts current. |
Beginning September 30th you will hear new words from ATC at towered airports. Instead of "position and hold" you will be instructed to "line up and wait" when taxiing onto a departure runway to await takeoff clearance.

Safety Seminars
Did you know you can receive notices whenever a safety seminar is scheduled near you? FAASafety.Gov has information about seminars, the FAA Safety Team, the WINGS Program, and more.
Most aircraft accidents are survivable. Whether the pilot and passengers remain alive to be rescued is often a matter of whether they were prepared for the post-accident survival situation. This seminar will focus on how to be prepared for basic land survival in winter conditions. The speakers are John Wood from the Portland FSDO and Rick Bendel, CFII.
Coming Soon: Discuss medical certificate issues with FAA New England Region Deputy Flight Surgeon Dr. Joseph Ray.
All seminars are from 6 to 8pm at Monadnock Aviation in the Keene airport's main terminal. You can register for the seminars by clicking on the provided links.
