How do I find out more about the new Wings Program?

Go to the FAA FAASTeam web site. http://www.faasafety.gov/spans/

Where do I find out about the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS)?

ASRS is online at http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ Have a look at the "Callback" newsletter while you are there, and print out one of the ASRS incident report forms to keep in your flight bag.

• And What was that beeping noise again???

Comments

Yikes! How could anyone ignore that racket - even when preoccuppied with landing a plane. I'll bet that the grinding, crunching noise of an airplane belly sanding down a runway surface got the pilots' attention!
