My EAA Chapter was given a tour of the ATW ARFF training center and shown how airport fire response and rescue is trained for and practiced. The trucks are very impressive, the philosophies are all based around saving people first by managing the fire to get people out of there.

Very neat facility!

A high complexity simulator for driving a fire rescue truck at an airport. The driver is trying to manage navigation, not hitting people, operating a spray turret to manage the fire, repositioning as needed, and probably two other things.

The #EAA comes into effect in June 2025. Are you ready? With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) becoming mandatory on June 28, 2025, and similar regulations worldwide, proper image #alttext is no longer optional.

What I see:
"Denmark Set to Replace #Microsoft Software with Open Source Alternatives

Denmark's Digital Ministry is replacing Microsoft services with LibreOffice and Linux."
What I read:
"Denmark is excluding screen reader users from opportunities to get a job at their public institutions".
to those who are happy about the #OpenSource move: you should never forget that there are lots of users, already vulnerable in our society, whose chance to get a decent job drastically lowers from already being quite low to asymptotically nearing zero.
I wonder however, what happens on June 28th this year when #EAA (European #Accessibility act) enters in vigor.
How would those who ditch #Microsoft and #Google products so hastily adhere to this law? Or will they just do as if accessibility legislation was not a thing?

I got a pin for flying 10 youths this year through the EAA Young Eagles program.

#avgeek #aviation #generalAviation #youngEagles #eaa

A letter from the EAA Eagles Programs Manager that reads:

Dear Young Eagles Pilot,

Since 1995, our EAA Young Eagles chairmen have challenged all Young Eagles pilots to fly 10 or more Young Eagles during the calendar year. This year, our chairman, Jimmy Graham, will continue that tradition and extends congratulations for meeting that challenge in 2025!

More than 2.4 million young people have had the opportunity to share our passion for flight. For many, their flight will be an event they remember for their entire lives. For others, their Young Eagles experience is a personal gateway to aviation.

Enclosed is your "10 for 2025" Young Eagles lapel pin. You have earned the right to wear these wings, and I hope you will wear them proudly. For each Young Eagle flown, you have earned Young Eagles credits for your local chapter. These credits can be used to help support the chapter's Young Eagles program or offset the cost of sending a youth to the 2026 EAA Air Academy.

Thank you again for your support of EAA's efforts to fly young people and inspire their dreams. I also encourage you to do what you can to motivate other Young Eagles pilots to participate.

Tailwinds,
David Leiting Jr.
EAA Eagles Programs Manager

Yesterday evening was my EAA Chapter's build night for our Zenith kit. Some of us went about drilling the final holes for the wing ribs and riveting them while the other members were in the process of preparing the rear spar for the wing. While we were working a very heavy rain storm hit (just in time to soak the grass runway that just dried out).

The deadline to comply with the #EuropeanAccessibilityAct is less than a month away.

Do your websites and self-service kiosk devices align with requirements?

If you are currently planning your annual trip to #EAA #AirVenture #Oshkosh July 21 – July 27, they now have the list of airplanes that will be on display in Boeing Plaza all week. Lots of great hardware to drool over.

Nu är det mindre än en månad bort för alla som lyder under #EAA. Post- och Telestyrelsen släppte nyligen lite nytt stödmaterial.

Tillgänglighetslagen träder i kraft 28 juni 2025 - bara en månad kvar! Lagen kräver att tjänster inom e-handel, bank, transport, e-böcker och webbtv uppfyller tillgänglighetskrav. #PTS har tagit fram nytt stödmaterial om rapportering av brister, redovisning av #tillgänglighet och hur tillsyn fungerar.

Old blog* about Disability as an Add On in airline ticket booking systems acuity.design/easyjet-and-.... Just seems relevant to European Accessibility Act #EAA. * I haven’t checked if easyjet has changed the booking flow lately.

My EAA Chapter had a very successful first Fly Out to Portage for their Fly In (C47). It was the busiest non-towered traffic pattern I've ever been in, with the added challenge that we were landing 36 and you really only could back taxi. So we'd pile up four aircraft at the end and taxi back in formation.

Really cool day, I'm glad some of my chapter members joined me so I didn't feel like a dork having a one man fly out. I'm sad I had to rent an aircraft but grateful I had a backup option when mine went down for maintenance.

Giant rotating pancake griddle where there is a nonstop supply of pancakes for the non-stop crowd.

A mostly bare aluminum Ercoupe aircraft with the distinctive H tail.

A small single seat experimental Sonex aircraft in red and white colors parked on the flight line.

I am unsure the aircraft, it looks similar to various WWII airframes and specifically the T-6. It is a dark grey with a white arrow bolt from back to front.

Lots of #planes at the #eaa pancake breakfast this morning in #JacksonMI. The controllers did a great job getting everyone in and out safely and there was some interesting experimentals there.
