When you think of women working with rivet guns, you might picture a woman with her hair wrapped up in a red polka-dot bandana, flexed muscles and the famous words, “We Can Do It.” Just as Rosie the Riveter inspired countless women to take on roles in industries traditionally dominated by men during World War II, Habitat for Aviation aims to ignite the same spirit of courage and innovation in women aspiring to enter the aviation field.“We really take a lot of inspiration from our World War II Rosie the Riveters, who stepped into these factories when the men went off to war,” says Habitat for Aviation's founder Beth White. The group's multi-generational, all-women team of “Modern Rosie's” are currently building a Rans S-21 airplane. Beth's journey into aviation began with a memoir that sparked her curiosity and inspired her to take a discovery flight.In this episode, Beth reveals how an unfortunate life-changing event led her to create Habitat for Aviation, a nonprofit that's preparing the next generation of airplane mechanics, pilots, and avionics specialists. Plus, you'll hear from some of the young women participating in the airplane build. Beth provides insights into Habitat for Aviation programs and discusses resources, such as EAA's Young Eagles, which offers free discovery flights to youth. She also gives practical advice for anyone interested in getting a pilot certificate. Share this episode with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Good morning, it's Thursday, March 18th and this is The Herald Review's podcast, the Daily Chirp. We're excited to bring you a closer look at top stories, events in the community, local history, sports, and more.    Today -  Legislators join groups promoting effort to decide future of wall   Before we begin, some local history.   In 1929 Nickolas George Ramus was born. Ramus was a Native American actor, best known for his appearances on television. He starred in the first Native American language film, 1980s Windwalker, and also appeared briefly in the film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and in the comedy film Love at Stake as Chief Wannatoka.   Also, The Daily Chirp podcast is giving away 5 Amazon Echo Dots - one every month now through July. You can enter for your chance to win twice a day! Today's code is DUNK, and find the other codeword in our e-newsletter “The Morning Blend”. To enter the sweepstakes go to myheraldreview.com, again today's codeword is: DUNK.   Now, our feature story.    With the end of the moratorium to stop construction of the border wall, former U.S. officials and environmental and community activists want to know what Biden and the new Director of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas have in mind.   Arizona Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva and Anne Kirkpatrick along with six other U.S. representatives sent a letter to Biden applauding his decision to shut down construction.   The letter stated “We urge you to meaningfully consult with border communities that have been impacted by the construction, including tribal members, and stakeholders. We ask that the DHS develop a meaningful environmental mitigation plan for the borderlands with local stakeholders,”    They also asked Biden to cancel all construction contracts and not initiate any more construction activities. Instead, they request remaining funds be diverted to mitigate harms from the wall - like the destructive environmental damage and destruction of sacred sites.   They point out the Trump administration which used executive privilege 29 times to waive 84 federal environmental, historical and cultural laws and countless state and local laws.    Local and tribal communities had no say when the decision to build a wall along the southern border was made.    The letter ends by stating that “Urgent action is necessary to address the damage”   More details could come this week, so check in with us at myheraldreview.com for the latest updates. Thanks for listening, before we continue, a quick message from our sponsors, Prestige Family Living.    Next, we'd like to highlight a community update.   Brought to you by ApexNetwork Physical Therapy. Voted Best of Cochise County 2020, ApexNetwork provides exceptional care to the Sierra Vista and Benson communities. Choose ApexNetwork for all of your physical therapy needs. To learn more, go to ApexNetworkPT.com. A small shopping center, long a fixture in the city's West End, is no more.   Crews reduced the four spaces at Fry Boulevard and Fab Avenue which once included a beloved barber shop and a bookstore to rubble.   The city of Sierra Vista purchased the property — referred to as the “little red shopping center” and an adjacent vacant lot last fall for $230,000. City planners are hoping the area will be an extension of Sierra Vista's West End revitalization.   Next, an upcoming event in our community that you should know about  -- brought to you by our sponsors, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative.   This morning, head over to the Sierra Vista Farmers Market! It starts at 10am, and if you can't make it today don't worry - stop by on any Thursday all year long. Vendors include Ruth's Garden, Sky Island Brand Meats, Thunder Mountain Ranch, Simmons Honey Ranchito, The Lettuce Man, and Estrada Citrus!   See you there!   Finally, today we're remembering the life of Leo Charles Scherping of Hereford. Leo was born on September 11, 1937 in Houghton Lake Heights, Michigan.   Leo is a veteran of Vietnam, and retired after a 30 year career in the Army. For six years he was selected to serve in the White House Communications Agency providing communications for the President and Vice President of the United States. After his military retirement, he spent six years with the Defense Information Systems Agency at Fort Huachuca.   He was active in the local flying community as a private pilot and FAA certificated A&P Mechanic. Leo loved flying with the Young Eagles and giving his time to help foster interest in general aviation. As an officer in the EAA Chapter 776, he also served as the technical advisor to Homebuilt Aircraft builders.   Leo enjoyed spending time with his Friday Lunch Bunch talking about aviation.   Leo accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior while in Vietnam and continued his growth in the Body of Christ throughout his life. Leo's faith in God sustained and comforted him until the end.   He will be greatly missed.

Chicago X From Aerosoft Remember the good old days when MS Flight Simulator dropped you in Meigs Field for your first flight lessons? Meigs was sadly closed a few years ago but now it's back in FS(X)! Together with the fourth, largest city and windiest in the US Cities range so far: Chicago! This scenery will bring you Chicago with as much detail as you never seen before. In this scenery there are hints to the past as it includes Merrill C Meigs fiels and (optional) a glimpse of the future as you are able to see the Chicago Spire, a skyscraper in development that will put Chicago back at the top of skyscraper cities. US Cities X is a series of city scenery for FSX that covers US cities created by LimeSim. Based on an extensive aerial image it will have all the major buildings and landmarks plus all the airports and heliports that are inside the covered areas. It is clearly intended to fill the gap between the default scenery and very high dense city scenery such as Manhattan X, London VFR or Venice X. Because the file size is rather large due to the ground image it only includes one season (in most cases this is not a real issue) and no night textures. The VFR flights over these cities are mostly a day time affair anyway. Features: Aerial image coverage (see attached Google Earth file) More than 2,000 major buildings included About 210,000 (!) autogen buildings placed realistically "Retro style" version of Meigs Field that was sadly demolished in 2003 Major airports in and around the city are covered with new high res ground images (no new building structures added) Chicago O'Hare (including new runway layout) Chicago Midway Chicago Executive (formerly known as Palwaukee Mun) Schaumburg Regional Brookeridge Airpark (where homes are next to the runway) 9 heliports as start locations Sound effects like downtown- and highway traffic, gulls...

There are some exiting new features and lots of improvements in v2. Besides the new features I improved the FSX version a lot: Playback performance should be much better now, it should now be similar to the FS9 version; camera features (called advanced views in v1) are now also available in the FSX version. I won't list all the new features here, I don't even remember all the small improvements right now. Just try the new version and read the manual, then you'll discover all of them.

We were hoping for a xmas release but at this stage it's looking more like January sometime, since there's still some work to do with the seasonal colouring, traffic and also the night lighting, which I just don't see getting done in time for Santa's sleigh, sorry."   Ted Also Writes in with: For another show idea, you might also want to tell folks about the EAA Young Eagles program for kids ages 8 to 17. http://www.youngeagles.org/ My daughter is 10. We'll see if she wants to take an intro flight or not and then see if she wants to join. One of the benefits is, when the youngster is a member of Young Eagles they get FREE access to Sporty's online pilot training course. http://www.youngeagles.org/sportys_faq.pdf I know you have several listeners of the podcast who are under 17 years of age and they might benefit from this. Ted Engine Failure Procedure Absolutely love the podcast, listen every Wednesday night, litterally since day one. My names Jordan I'm a PPL from Windsor, Ontario (next to Detroit) and have been a flight simmer for since the 95' days. This message is with regards too Mark's Engine Failure Procedure. I like to shed some light on how it's done here in Canada, and would really appreciate if you posted this on the sight. So there you are flying along in let's say a 172. Then the engine quits, what now? First thing you do is Trim from your Best-glide-speed; let's say 62kts, then you need to find where the wind is coming from, some ways of doing this would be looking at smoke from a stack at a factory, maybe look at some water if there is any around to get an idea. If all that fails you could listen to a nearby ATIS or contact TWR etc. Now that you have Trimmed and you know where the wind is coming from, Only now can you truly find a proper "field." In this part of SW Ontario most fields run length ways from West to East, so now you will have somewhat of an idea of which direction you will be landing. Finding a good field (highway etc) involves a few simple things. Number one, you'd like anything long, level with no powerlines and the less obstacles the better. You also want to take into account the crops/conditions (if your landing in a field). For example, if its fall and your landing you 172 on a field that has been plowed recently your probably going to kill yourself and your airplane because its so rough. If its late summer and Corn has been planted your going to have reduced depth perception because by that time Corn is 6' tall. Soybeans however work great... They provide a soft, usually level surfac to touch down on. Now, you want to confirm that the engine has actually failed... Why wait until now, isn't it logical to do this at the beginning instead of waiting? No! Why? well .....because the time it takes you to figure out if the engine actually failed or if you accidently pulled the Mixture out instead of the Throttle, is time you could have spent at a higher altitude looking for a good surface to touch down on. Remeber, if at this stage you realize you screwed something up all you have to do is restart and go back up right? Makes sense doesn't it. This procedure (of finding out what happened is called a Cause Check), essentially, and memorized checklist of things to look at before you make the next step. Ok, so here we are. Got 62 KIAS, we are TRIMMED, we know the direction of the WIND, and we also have a FIELD picked out. All the while you turing that key too ATTEMPT A RESTART of our failed engine. It won't start! Ok, now we need to do a couple things. First I'm going to "Sqwauk" 7700 (emergency code on the transponder) so ATC knows something is wrong and can give the Emergency crews a idea of where you are. Next I'm going to contact someone. Who you contact depends on where you are. You'll get much faster assistance if you contact an ATC facility near you, you don't have to be talking to anyone. So a nearby TWR, UNICOM, or the famous 121.5, which is the universal emergency frequency, which by the way pilots are suppose to be monitoring so that when something like this does happen they can relay it back to FSS or whatever. A transmission would contain the following: MAYDAY MADAY MAYDAY (yes says it 3 times) C172 Tail Number (3 times) ENGINE FAILURE, 3 miles south-east of Essex, Landing in a field two miles East of Highway #3. MAYDAY C-GDIO OUT. You want to tell the ATC facility who you are, where your going, what your intentions are and what the problem is. Remember the better the information, the faster the Emergency services can get to you if things go South. Now, if you have PAX (passangers) aboard they are going to be soiling there pants, there is no denying to them (nor should you) that there is a problem with the airplane, so you want to complete the PAX BRIEF. Talkt to them like a human being, tell them that everything is fine, the airplane is having problems and you doing to have to put it down in a field in the interest of safety. Before you took off (by fed. regulations) you should have shown them how to use the fire extengishers, locations of exits, how to operate to exits etc, you do this in the pre-flight so that you don't have to do it all now, saves time right? Remember where are getting lower as a write this. The PAX Brief should sound something like this: "Ladies and Gentlmen (lol in a big Captain voice), where are expereincing as engine failure. We are going to be landing in a field," (point it out) so they have an idea of whats going on. "If you are wearing glasses or have pen's, pencils or anything else sharp in your possesion, please put them in the seat back pocket infront of you. When the airplanes lands we will be exiting and meeting at (so and so spot) where we will wait for emergency crews." Now you get the idea right? Just talk to them. I'm not going to get into specific Aircraft types, becuase every plane is differnet, esepically when you get into multi's. At my flight school we never had a "checlist" for engine failures. It was memorzied and that way we could keep our heads out the window and not looking a a piece of paper. Next security, after flying over or around your field you set yourself up for an approach, set your final flaps (when landing assured). A few hundred feet before landing you want to SECURE the airplane. This involves turning everything off, from pulling the mixture too turing the battery off. Try to insure that there is no power going through the airplane when you touch down, it will make things better for ya if you acutally crash. Insure everyone has there seatbelts on, and in some models of airplanes you actually open the doors before landing so that if you do smoke the ground the doors don't jam and you can get out incase there was a fire or something. And thats pretty much it. SUMMARY: BEST GLIDE SPEED WIND FIELD CAUSE CHECK ATTEMPT RESTART PAX BRIEF MAYDAY CALL SECURITY FINAL WORDS: I was assuming VFR in a 172 at lets say 3500' over a non-populated area. This is a general way of following through with a "forced landing." All of these things can change depending on WX, Terrain, Aircraft Types etc etc. This may seem like a lot of information and procedures, but in the hands of a good pilot it should happen very fast, this way you can keep your eyes out the windows looking for traffic and assessing the field you may want to land in. A last tip would too anyways, no matter where you are, to have your eyes out the window looking for a field, even if the engine is working fine. Failures will NEVER EVER happen when its convient for you. Hope someone finds this interesting. Thanks........ Jordan Collins say...I always wondered, with Mark's high level of knowledge, what ratings does he have? Commerical, ATPL? Thanks.....hey if you ever need a fill in on the show, let me know. Take Care. FSBreak Changed Me... From Tim Hi Everyone! I've been a listener to the show for about a month now, and love it! I don't even mind those long 3-hour episodes because of my long commute. I'm nearly caught up with all the shows. Yes, I really did listen to them all in only about a month...! FSBreak has really changed the way I do my simming. Here is a list of things that I now do differently compared to prior to the time I was a listener: I now use more than one flight sim. Before I only used FSX. Now I have reinstalled FS9 and purchased X-Plane. I have doubled my frame rates in FSX (average is now about 40) but I keep it locked at 30 to avoid studdering. I have switched from primarilly being a commercial pilot in the sim to GA. I once again am active on VATSIM (after a 3-year drought). I have purchased numerous add-ons for the sim based on the recommendations of the show hosts. I want to thank you for producing the show, which I look forward to listening to when I am stuck in my car! - Tim
