Ron Zasadzinski's Flight Instruction Web Page
The highest quality flight training available
Cockpit WeatherLooking for information about datalink weather services you can display on a PDA or MFD in the cockpit? Visit the Wireless WX page on this site. I put together an Excel worksheet that compares datalink weather providers and display units. GPS TrainingLooking for quality GPS training? I can provide it. I have many years experience with most IFR approved GPS equipment including: Garmin 1000, Garmin 480, Garmin 430/530, Bendix/King KLN94, 90B, 89B, Apollo GX Series, and the Apollo 2001. If you own one of these devices, you already know that there is a lot more to using them in the real world than being able to pull up an approach and activate it. Visit my courses page for more information about personalized GPS training. AWOS Mountain SitesSeveral AWOS sites have been commissioned in Colorado mountain passes. More will be added in the future. If you are planning to fly in the mountains, you can now get live weather including wind speed and cloud bases in these crucial areas:

Recommended Web Sites CodeGeek.net General Aviation Ops in the USCheck www.aopa.org for the latest status of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR's). All pilots can use this page, you do not have to be an AOPA member. View current TFR's graphically at this web site: aerochart.com. Note this site is only updated once a day on weekdays. This site DOES include locations of most nuclear facilities, as well as most stadiums subject to the three mile and 3000 foot restriction. Be vigilant. Get current NOTAMS and be aware of current National Security procedures before you fly. Before every flight, you should still call FSS for current NOTAMS at 800-992-7433 to be sure you are fully informed. World Trade Center Attack
I later learned that one of my high school classmates, Michael Sorresse, was killed in the attack. He worked in the upper floors of One World Trade Center, the first tower to be struck. We graduated among a class of only 186 students from Whippany Park High School in 1985. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. You won't be forgotten Michael. And Eric Alexander, my friend, know that you are always remembered as well. I visited NYC and the WTC site for the memorial services on 9-11-2002. My web photo album is posted here: 2002 WTC Page |
Having grown up in New Jersey just 22 NM West of the Twin
Towers and NYC, this event literally hits very close to
home for me. I was visiting family and friends in
the NY/NJ area during the attack, and could see the smoke
from NJ. I spent the following five days in Queens breathing
that smoke plume for the first couple. Text and images from
my experience in 2001 are posted here:
