Avionics News Celebrates 50 Years of History 
The January 2013 issue - volume 50, issue 1 - marks the beginning of a year-long celebration commemorating the extraordinary 50-year history of Avionics News. Throughout the year, Avionics News will look back with fondness and reflect on its grand history. With gratitude and appreciation for each of the publishers, editors and talented team of writers who have contributed to the magazine's first half century, the Avionics News staff looks forward to serving its readers for the next 50 years and beyond.
General Aviation Flight Data Monitoring Survey
The general aviation flight data monitoring survey was developed as part of a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety information analysis and sharing through the center for general aviation research concerning flight data monitoring in general aviation. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the familiarity and perceptions of the general aviation community concerning flight data monitoring capabilities and objectives. The link below will take you to a survey that contains 18 questions, (requiring approximately 5 minutes to complete). To take the survey please click here.
If you operate an aircraft that has flight data recording capabilities (such as those equipped with the Garmin G1000 Data Logger) and wish to contribute de-identified flight data to a national database, or have an interest in the topic, please contact Dave Esser at esserd@erau.edu.
FAA and Industry Rotorcraft Forum
The third Federal Aviation Administration and Industry Rotorcraft Forum is scheduled for Jan. 23-24 at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas. This is a two-day forum to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the certification and installation of new avionics technologies in the rotorcraft market. The aim of the forum is to open the lines of communication between industry and the Rotorcraft Directorate. This event is a continuation and follow-up on the first and second FAA and Industry Rotorcraft Forums, which took place in February and August of 2012.
