A new book about Elrey B. Jeppesen by Flint Witlock and Terry L. Barnhart, Capt. Jepp and the Little Black Book looks at the beginnings of aviation in America and the colorful daredevils who risked (and sometimes lost) everything to entertain crowds, deliver the mail and carry passengers commercially. Jeppesen kept a journal that eventually saved his life and the lives of countless fellow pilots. This little black book contained detailed information about every route he flew and every airport at which he landed.
The NBAA recently announced that it will offer its Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) exam in a computer-based test (CBT) format, which will provide CAM candidates with greater flexibility, convenience and accessibility. Schroeder Management Technologies (SMT) will provide testing centers at 250 locations throughout the United States with the first testing window set for January 2008. The traditional paper exam will still be offered three times a year. In preparation for a CAM designation, individuals must meet specified qualifications and pass the CAM examination.
Serengeti Aviator sunglasses have been called the most scientifically advanced sunglasses in the world. Their patented Spectral Control filters fine tune the full spectrum of light, selectively blocking and filtering each wavelength. The system is a dynamic, ever-adapting "smart" lens technology that works with your eyes to provide the ultimate in comfort and clarity in any situation. Unlike other colors, blue light rays cross in front of the retina causing "blue blur." Serengeti lenses eliminate this problem by blocking and filtering 95 percent of blue light.
