Fwd: "FAAST Blast" - FAASafety.gov

FAAST Blast Notice Number: NOTC5314 FAAST Blast — Week of April 27 – May3, 2014 Biweekly FAA Safety Briefing News Update    FAA Releases New AC on Cockpit Weather Displays             In April the FAA released an updated Advisory Circular (AC) on the Use of Cockpit Displays of Digital Weather and Aeronautical Information AC 00-63A. This AC covers not only FAA Flight Information Services (FIS) like FIS-Broadcast (FIS-B) through ADS-B systems but also non FAA commercially available data link systems.             The FAA recognizes the advantages that these services can offer for both Weather and Aeronautical information display in the cockpit. The AC explains the system requirements that must be met to use this information as a sole source for decision making without a need to verify it.             To view the AC please visit: http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_00-63A.pdf   FAA Announces First UAS Test Site Operational             On April 21, 2014, the FAA announced that the first of six selected test site for performing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) research is now operational in North Dakota. The FAA granted the North Dakota Department of Commerce team a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) to begin using a Draganflyer X4ES small UAS at its Northern Plains Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site. The COA is effective for two years. The team plans to begin flight operations during the week of May 5. "North Dakota has really taken the lead in supporting the growing unmanned aircraft industry," said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. "We look forward to the contributions they and the other test sites will make toward our efforts to ensure the safe and efficient integration of UAS into our nation's skies."             For more information: http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=16154 Hands Off! Could a simple change to your flying style help save your life? Veteran flight instructor Gene Hudson thinks it just might. In his article on page 13 in the latest edition of FAA Safety Briefing (http://www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing/) he suggests a methodology for avoiding unintentional stall through the proper use of trim.
