Updates to the Student Corner

The Falcon Student Corner has been updated. New features include a section with commonly used Forms and Documents, and an interactive Risk Assessment Tool.

Both sections in addition to the Falcon ProBook require a username and a password. To find this information, you must first log-in the MyFBO scheduling system and look under the Message Center.

FAA updates Medical Durations

A new rule has been released that extends the terms of first- and third-class medical certificates. The rule took effect July 24, 2008.

The purpose of the new ruling is to improve the efficiency of the medical certification program and process. It will also advance the services provided to medical certificate applicants.

Third-class medical certificates for pilots under the age of 40 were previously required to be renewed every 36 months. Those pilots now have 60 months, or five years, to review their certificates.

First-class medical certificates previously lasted six months. Under the new rule, they now have to be renewed every 12 months.

There is no change in the terms for medical certificates for pilots over the age of 40.

Online Scheduling System Change

MyFBO scheduling software is Returning to Falcon Aviation
After several months with the new scheduling software, it has become apparent that MyFBO best fits the Falcon Aviation operation. Effective July 30-31, the switch will be made to begin using MyFBO for all scheduling and maintenance tracking. Falcon Aviation will also be able to benefit from the cirriculum tracking software that is incorporated with MyFBO and plan to have FAA approval for electronic records. More information will be announced as it is make known. To see more information, check out our latest newsletter.

After several long weeks coinhabiting a T-hanger on the South-West side of the airport, we will now be located next to the CCO Fixed Base Operator (FBO). This facility will be our home for the next 9-12 months while we plan and build our permanent facility to be located on the newly developed area of the North-East side of the airfield.

More information will be published as we continue this transition to this facility.

NACO Charting Notice

Effective October 25th, 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration will reconfigure all the IFR Low Altitude Charts for the conterninous U.S. There will be an increase in the number of charts (up from 28 to 36) which will result in a larger scale to allow for additional RNAV routing that is currently being implemented.
How does this affect Falcon Aviation Students?
	The current Atlanta Chart (L-19/20), will now cover the same similar areas however you may need to purchase an additional chart to cover some areas (i.e. Savannah is now a part of L-24).For more information on the old charts vs. the new chart format, you may download and view the NACO documentation below.
Falcon Aviation Pilot Supplies
	The Falcon Aviation Pilot Supply in Peachtree City, as always, will stock all the relevant charts for the southeast areas of the U.S. Once they become available, you can purchse them for the same standard price.
