EMC Aviators' Club

 

The EMC Aviators Club has been promoted by Andy Marvin and Antonio Orlandi

To be part of the Club one should be involved in EMC, have a pilot's license (power or gliding) and a wish to share your adventures and pictures with others.

EMC refers to the science of Electromagnetic Compatibility which is the design of electronic systems so that they will not cause electromagnetic interference in other electronic systems and will not be susceptible to interference caused by these other systems

You can use the club web site to post pictures or links to your own sites.

You can arrange to share flights with other EMC people when travelling to meetings or conferences.

We will arrange informal meetings at the main EMC conferences, probably over lunch or an evening beer or wine.

There is no membership fee. Simply send your profile details and any pictures (please use standard format and small dimensions) to Antonio at antonio.orlandi@univaq.it

John and two friends were killed whilst flying his Beechcraft Bonanza over Colorado on the 4th August 2010.

The cause of the incident is not yet established.
Our condolences go to John's family and friends.

 

David A. Larrabee

Professor in the Physics Department, East Stroudsburg University, Pennsylvania, USA. Private Pilot Single Engine Land and Glider but currently inactive. Learned to fly gliders in graduate school at Grund Field outside of Ithaca NY (Cornell) (see picture).  When I left school I flew out of Somerset Airport with Aero club Albatross and eventually with the club at located at Princeton University’s airport.  I continued to fly until I bought a house (more useful but a lot less fun).  I also transitioned to power and bought a 1946 Aeronca Champ with a partner.  I do want to get back into soaring (when I have lost some weight…) and I wouldn’t mind getting another taildragger….

Richard Perdriau

Associate Professor in Electronic Engineering at ESEO (Graduate Engineering School, Angers, France).

Private pilot, single-engine piston (French "TT" license equivalent to PPL/A) since 1997. Unfortunately stuck at private level for medical reasons (requirements for commercial pilots are very strict ...). Teaches aeronautics in high schools (with a special degree equivalent to a ground instructor). Hopes to become a VFR volunteering instructor and to pass the instrument rating.

Flies from Angers-Marcé Flying Club (http://www.aeroclubangersmarce.com) on Angers-Marcé airport (LFJR) and from CPC (http://pilotage.choletais.free.fr) on Cholet airfield (LFOU), on C172SP, PA28-160, 181 and R180, and Mooney M20J.

Andy ... from a glider to a ..... fighter of the Yorkshire Squadron.

 

Andy and Antonio at Terni airfield, ready to take off on I-IAHA (Socata TB9) heading LIRU (Rome Urbe).

 

The RAF Shorts Turcano training aircraft had a complete  engine failure and dropped in. It managed to avoid people and gliders on
the runway but overshot the runway end as it arrived rather hard and burst both main wheel tyres thus reducing its braking efficiency. No
injuries and it will be flown out.
Both instructor and pupil were given out standard certificate for
completing a trial glider flight at Andy's glider club.
 

David L. took this picture of Sommerset Airport (NJ) in the way back from Oshkosh on his 1946 Aeronca Champ.
