 Angel Flight
is a wonderful organization providing you the
opportunity to fly and
help others at the same time. A lot of Angel Flight missions have been flown in
conjunction with hurricane relief in addition to the
standard patient missions.
If you are interested and are IFR rated please visit their
web site to
sign up. We can conduct your
volunteer pilot orientation at MDQ and get you in the air helping others
right away.Flight

Flight Training Sites
IACRA
-
When you're ready for that check ride, visit
the FAA's Integrated Airman Application and/or Rating Application
http://acra.faa.gov/iacra/.
IACRA
is an online tool available to designated pilot examiners, instructors, and
students for filling out, submitting, and approving airman applications online.
Pilots are issued a unique code so that only their instructor and examiner can
review the application. Much better than hassling with that paper 8710
form.
At
FAASafety.gov you can find FAA sponsored safety
information: sign up on SPANS for safety seminar notification, search for any
local events, or visit the Aviation Learning Center for online courses.
Don't have that
FAR/AIM handy? Then check
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/faa_regulations/
for what you need to know.
