Welcome to this resource dedicated to owners of experimental, homebuilt aircraft and pilots of other general aviation and recreational (Light-Sport Aircraft) flying machines. Here, you will discover a wealth of information on aircraft construction, engine performance, pilot airmanship, VFR flight planning, and various other aviation topics of interest to both seasoned aviators and new pilots alike.
To support your preflight preparations, we provide a range of regularly updated resources, including specialized weather charts, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), performance calculators, and current ADDS and AVWX weather reports (METAR/TAF). Additionally, a curated selection of aviation news feeds is accessible through the top menu, and our E6B application can be conveniently accessed via the yellow button at the top of the page.
Modern cockpits equipped with EFIS, GPS, TCAS, ADS-B (Out/In), Mode A/C/S transponders, and electronic flight bag (EFB) tablets are explored, as these advanced technologies require pilots to develop proficiency with their use. With traditional 'steam gauges' increasingly relegated to backup roles and glass cockpits becoming more prevalent each year, staying current with these advancements is essential. This is further enriched by a growing library of articles covering a wide array of captivating topics for you to explore.
For visitors using a mobile device, we offer a web application that includes NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions, as defined by the FAA), weather information, and performance calculators. Your device will prompt you if the application can be installed directly onto your home screen. To explore the app, click here: E6B Tools.
