The first big light sport aviation show of the year, the Sebring Light Sport Expo, is a wrap and Dan Johnson gives us the report. There was one tragedy, but otherwise lots of great things happened at the show offering promise for the industry this year. ByDanJohnson.com (1/27/09)

Richard Meredith-Hardy, FlyMicro.com
The Microlight Commission of FAI has harnessed technology over the years to make judging international competitions faster and more accurate. Cross country checkpoints used to be verified with pictures taken by pilots as they flew the course. Now everything is done with GPS loggers. Key to the process is downloading loggers and analyzing the data. Richard Meredith-Hardy talks about how that is done and the future of the technology. FlyMicro.com (1/27/09)

Jim Sweeney, SweeneyCorp
The deadline for when the government will quit monitoring the 121.5 MHz ELT's is coming up on February 1st. Instead they will be focusing on the new ICAO standard of digital 406 MHz ELT's.
