Some utilities

  • Everybody needs a package for writing, calculating, drawing and for presentation. How about Open Office? It is from Sun and better than MS-Office. For example it is also able to export PDFs. And it is completly free!
  • Also everybody needs an image viewer. Best one for all the different formats. And one that's able to convert, resize, improve, cut pictures. So I recommand you IrfanView. For private use is complety free and there are a lot more reasons why this viewer is so widedly used.
  • You need a conversion? 3000+ different units in 80+ categories are handled by the Numerical Chameleon, Version 1.6. The download and use of this tool is absolutly free.
  • A special part? Let it make by eMachineShop. Download the free 6 MB drawing-programm, draw you part (you get a lot of support), select the material (all sorts of steel, aircraft-alu, plastic ..), ask for the price, - and wait few days for the delivery!
  • This is a website for nationwide airshows.
  • The EAA has also a page for flying and related events.
  • The EAA-Sport Aviation is not the only magazine to build your own airplane, Kitplanes is also worth a visit.
  • Search for N-numbers ?
  • Oskosh bound or another long trip? Use the Fuel Stop Planner
  • Extensive airport-infos you get via www.Fltplan.com or more handy and with a colored aerial picture at AirNav.com
  • Aerial black&white pictures of 97% of the USA are on the Terraserver-USA, just enter the coordinates of Gladewater (North 32 31.7 , West 094 58.3). The appearing picture is from Mar-9-95, but it shows even the ever present Ercoupe near the filling station! Google delivers also, even colored maps, but at this time not in such a high resolution.
  • At this time, Google-Earth delivers colored birdviews from any point of our entire world. For viewing you need the Google-Earth Software, which is comfortable and free.
  • Weather, Airportinfos, Flightplanning and more is also available at XC-Pilot.
  • Comfortable flightplanning is also possible at SkyVector. Use it best with a broadband-connection, because a lot of graphics are transmitted.
  • Easy to read and also perfect understanding How your plane flies? This articel from John S. Denker is also on an award-winning EAA-website.

Important for Aviation

Buy, Sell, Trade:

  • Have you already looked in the classified ads of the Sport Aviation ?
  • Aircraft Spruce is a good source with a large spectrum of aircraft parts
  • Univair delivers certified spare parts for a lot of antique and classic planes, good service and prices, - if you are accustomed to the prices in the world of aviation
  • Trade-a-Plane is more than the name. It is the worldwide leading trading-platform for everything aviation related. The online presentation has sections for subcribers, - and also for the public and free usage. As references for all,
    aviation products and
    aviation related companies are good link-pages
  • But Barnstormers.COM is also a big and successful trading-platform.
    BTW: don't mix this with the real Barnstormer.ORG! That's a loose organization with the original spirit of barnstormers, or what does "org" indicate? ;-)
  • And Air Salvage of Dallas can also be your source of used aircraft parts. There is usually a sale around 2 weeks before Christmas!
  • Finally Ebay has a section where you can buy and sell aviation related items, parts and even complete aircrafts.
  • Sectionals and other aviation charts are available at many sources. Here the FAA let you find the nearest shop.
