Connecting with AOPA (with Tom Haines) October 30th, 2018

Tom Haines!  This week Marc and Al sat down with the Senior Vice President of Media and Outreach for AOPA, Tom Haines.  After 30 years of bringing aviation into the homes of pilots via magazines like AOPA Pilot, Tom helps us to see the world from the editor's point of view.  Changing technology and the people who use it, creates a wide range of challenges in bringing the right content, in the right format to the right reader. Tom talks about the strategies he uses to stay connected with his audience. Listen and learn!
In the second half of the show, Al and Marc debriefed their flight to and from the Gulf Shores AOPA Fly-In:

• How to select a refueling stop.
• How technology can help make enroute flight plan changes.
• When its OK to change your personal minimums.
• Mismatch with ATC.

Congratulations to our Avgeek of the Week!
