AERO Friedrichshafen

Greetings from Friedrichshafen, Germany. Our associate publisher Danny Faupel and I are attending AERO Friedrichshafen, the largest general aviation trade show in Europe. We have adjusted to the time change and are getting ready for an exciting day of meeting with exhibitors and talking to attendees. Be sure to check the news section of AMTonline.com for news updates from the show. Yesterday evening, we met with the media relations person for EASA. He shared some news about upcoming changes to EASA regulations that are aimed at simplifying GA pilot and mechanic oversight as well as operations. We are looking forward to a new column in AMT in the near future discussing some of these changes as well as other EASA regulations of importance to maintenance professionals in both Europe and North America. By the way, Friedrichshafen is home to the Zeppelin museum. I'm hoping to get a few minutes to tour the museum this afternoon. Who knows, maybe they will have a Jimmy Page guitar on display. :-) Thanks for reading, Joe Escobar
