New company wants to increase renter pilot access
Single checkout would be good nationwide
A TEAM OF entrepreneurs is working to solve that age-old dilemma faced by vacationing pilots every day: onerous checkouts when you want to rent an airplane away from home. Rod Rakic, founder of the pilot social networking site myTransponder, is teaming up with other entrepreneurs to develop Open Airplane, a program to allow pilots who go through a standardized checkout to rent airplanes any time, at any FBO in the country that participates in the Open Airplane project. The Open Airplane website tracks the eligibility of pilots who have passed its standardized checkout and allows them to reserve rental airplanes across the nation at participating flight schools and FBOs.

New center, scholarships help students succeed
AOPA expands commitment to growing pilot population

The initiative was first announced in late 2010 when AOPA released a major research project that highlighted reasons why some students make it through the flight training process while as many as 80 percent drop out. After sharing the research with the flight training industry, AOPA has taken steps to help flight training professionals succeed in keeping students engaged. Recently AOPA President Craig Fuller announced the creation of a center inside AOPA and headed by a yet-to-be-named vice president that will seek to further implement efforts to build the pilot popu-

Fuller said AOPA has received some 1,000 nominations for its Flight Training Excellence Awards, which will be managed through the center. Flight schools, CFIs, and students can go to AOPA’s website to nominate a flight school or CFI who is conducting flight training in a way that helps students succeed. Winners will be announced at AOPA Aviation Summit. The center will oversee AOPA’s flight training scholarship program. Fuller announced three winners of this year’s scholarships. Each will receive $5,000 to be used for flight training. Tyler Allen was a winner of the AOPA Flight Training scholarship. Allen is a
