Hearing a lot about COVID-19 and the pandemic and many other events can be tiring, especially because of the limitations being put in place and the restrictions being implemented as we try to figure out the best way to move forward. There are many days when it’s better to stay home, or not do much, but it can admittingly get boring. It’s not all doom and gloom for those who are lacking in things to do however, especially for pilots who only want to think about flying! If you’re having trouble figuring out what to do in a safe way, the Aircraft Electronics Association has launched a “Pilot’s Guide Showcase”, which is a new digital stage featuring everything avionics!

From features and functions of equipment, to the installation and service available from repair stations, the website PilotsGuideShowcase.net was developed for aircraft owners and general aviation pilots. The digital platform has product demonstrations, how-to videos, tutorials with recorded flight demonstrations, and many more features! From Mike Adamson, AEA president and chief executive officer, “In the absence of industry trade shows this year, avionics consumers don’t have the opportunity to see these innovative technologies in person at our favorite fly-ins, air shows, and aviation events across the globe.” According to him, the Pilot’s Guide Showcase was a platform to give aviators a way to connect with the industry and learn more about the technologies in one convenient location.

The publication gives a lot of information regarding company locations within 40 countries, which also include government-certified repair stations for maintenance and repair. At its foundation however, it’s a pipeline to connect the community of pilots, aircraft owners, and technical experts in the avionics industry together within these trying times.

The best part is that it’s free to access as well, with United States members able to get a temporarily free publication from AEA. Reconnect with the community and don’t feel left out, there are always alternatives out there for the most passionate of us!
