One Nearly Killed Me! Watch for helicopter vorticies.

This is one of those; I learned about flying from that moment. If you see helicopters operating in the area at low altitudes near a runway, take care. The rotor vortices can linger long enough to kill you. Watch it.

New Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Jack Pads
Posted by Richard Bogert on
New Jack Pads for Cirrus SR 20 and SR 22: Bogert Aviation now has jack pads available for the Cirrus SR20 and SR22. The factory service manual calls for the use of jack points to be installed at the wing tie down points for lifting the SR20 and SR22. The Cirrus pads are machined steel and include a rubber pad where the pad contacts the wing. They will be available on line shortly but until then they can be ordered by calling us directly.
