The FAA Airplane Flying Handbook is a great manual. But in the section on Stall Awareness it does not discuss the why of stall awareness training. I had my own ideas on why it is important, but I wanted to make sure I have a deep understanding so I Googled it. I found this excellent article on the subject:

FCI Emergency Maneuver Training: Review of New AOPA Stall/Spin Study by Rich Stowell

I'm collecting the aviation blogs I find in del.icio.us using the tag aviationblog. You can see them here:

del.icio.us / tag / aviationblog

So far I'm the only person using that tag but I'm sure that won't last long.

Is renting an airplane your only option? The editor of $100 Hamburger recently answered that question in this series of articles:

• The sky high cost of buying!
• A Response from a thoughtful reader
• Partnership?
• Flying Clubs
• Fractional Share
