Hello, and thank you for joining us for episode 52 of the Aviation News Talk podcast, where we bring you general aviation news and hopefully relevant information that you can actually use.

Today, we're going to talk in depth about a couple of alternative ways to load an instrument approach when you're getting vectors on an approach and the trade-offs involved.

Plus, coming up on the news, AOPA has just issued

another email alert calling on members to once again contact their members of the House of

Representative. And yes, it's about privatization. Plus, a very popular modern glass cockpit

aircraft has been discontinued. It will tell you why we think it's been dropped from production.

And you may have heard that the airlines can get exemptions from the mandate to install

ADSB by 2020.

Well, it turns out there's another large operator of aircraft who will also be getting

a pass on installing ADSB, and we'll tell you who that is.

And we have reports of not one but two aircraft that may have been hit by drones in the last couple of weeks.

And interviews for the FAA administrator job have apparently started, and we'll tell you who just interviewed for the job.

And finally, one country with a large GA fleet is having problems with aviass availability and quality,

and we'll tell you where you might encounter these fuel problems.

Welcome to Aviation News Talk, where we talk about general aviation.

I'm Max Ruskut, your host. I'm here to educate and inform you as a pilot or student pilot,

and hopefully have some fun along the way. I'm going to be sharing my over 40 years,

can't believe it's been that long, of experience as a licensed pilot, author of the G-1000

Glass Cockpit Handbook, and the 2008 National Flight Instructor of the Year.

Plus, I have a specialist in Cirrus aircraft like the SR 20 and 22.

Now, last week in episode 51, we talked about what it's like to go back and buy a new

Cirrus and then fly it nearly 2,000 miles across the country.
