Author: Save Money On Airport Parking This Winter
Many people jetting off for some winter sun or heading off for ski or snow boarding holidays could add to their spending money simply by prebooking their airport parking and saving on the price they would pay if they just turned at the car park on the day.
Graham Greenaway EMarketing Manager for BookFHR.Com says that whilst many people remember the traditional holiday essentials such as travel insurance and car hire arranging airport parking is often forgotten and with savings to be made on the gate prices combined with numerous airport car parks offering special deals at this time of year it makes sense to prebook.
As well as saving passengers money prebooking also guarantees a space in the car park and with more people jetting off this Christmas demand for parking near the airport will be high. With a little preparation a last minute scramble to find a suitable place to park can be avoided.
For those passengers with large items of luggage such as snowboards and skis Meet 38; Greet and Chauffeured parking services are available allowing travellers to drive straight to the airport terminal where their car will be collected by a fully insured driver taken to the car park and then delivered back to the airport for collection on return.

Travellers with an early checkin can safeguard against the risks of missing their flight caused by traffic jams and winter weather conditions by combining their holiday parking with a stay at a hotel near the airport the night before they fly. FHR offer a range of hotels with prices inclusive of holiday parking which allow holidaymakers to add an extra night on their holiday and relax safe in the knowledge that they are just minutes away from the airport.

Safety Addressing With New Avionics
“How safe is it?” Along with “How much does it cost?” this is a question we often hear when someone is considering flight training as an option for depleting his or her discretionary income. Our industry has experienced a marked reduction in overall accidents and statistically a 27.8 reduction in the most recent 7 years! During this same time period General Aviation fatal accidents dropped 32.6 to just over 1 fatality for every 100000flight hours.
Of these accidents 80 are either partially or completely pilot induced with weather related accidents and controlled flight into terrain CFIT accounting for the majority of fatalities.
So what is the industry doing to address the issue of pilot errors?
Bendix/King has taken the bull by the horns and addressed this challenge with several new avionics products and Cessna has taken the next step by including the Bendix/King advanced avionics package in their aircraft.
Situational Awareness: With its moving map and IFR approach capability the KLN94 GPS provides added safety through increased situational awareness. This GPS with its full color screen is as easy to operate as it is to view.
Weather: Bendix/King Data Link Weather features a stateoftheart data link system to bring textual and graphical weather to your cockpit with a high speed high bandwidth system. With the KDR 510 weather information including METARs TAFs and PIREPs is automatically updated and displayed on your KMD 550 multifunction display in your cockpit. For a small monthly fee you can also receive NEXRAD radar and additional weather products that promote additional weather avoidance capability.
Controlled Flight Into Terrain CFIT: The KMH 880 MultiHazard Awareness System combines traffic and terrain avoidance features in one unit. Combined with the KDR 510 and displayed on the KMD 550 you can have all the situational awareness available to ensure an uptothesecond picture of your flight situation.
Workload Reduction: The KMD 550 MultiFunction Display MFD lets you spend less time looking at your instruments and more time flying your aircraft. The system gives you the information you need without added clutter all while reducing the time required to manage each safety system. Along with its capability to display traffic weather terrain and moving map information the KMD 550 also provides a wealth of reference information to the pilot including airports NDBs intersections VORs specialuse airspace victor airways rivers roads lakes cities and towers. When interfaced to the KLN 94 the KMD 550 can also display holding patterns procedure turns and DME arcs for even greater situational awareness. Most importantly this MFD is simple to use and sports a bright razorsharp display!
So how much safer can General Aviation become? It seems to me that the sky’s the limit! Who would have guessed that today’s General Aviation aircraft would have these capabilities? And I suppose the question follows . . . What else is possible

Rome Airport: Getting Out From Rome Airports.
Reaching Rome downtown from Rome airports.
Getting to and from the main airport Leonardo da Vinci commonly known as Fiumicino about 30 miles southwest of the city center is quite easy. But getting to and from Ciampino airport 20 miles southeast of the city center of Rome is not that easy is time consuming and unconfortable by public transport and buses run infrequently finish early and do not connect well with the metro trains.
Many of Italy’s major cities have international airports but the Leonardo da Vinci of Rome is the country’s busiest and is a hub for flights linking Europe to the Middle East and Africa.
Soon after the big Fiumicino Airport opened in 1960 a new confortablenbsp; motor road was built to link it with the centre of Rome across the Magliana section. Various big hotels for business travelers and conventioneers grew up nearby.
Negotiating Roman traffic by car is difficult enough but you may be taking your life in your hands if you ride a motorcycle or moped in the city. The rule in Rome is to look straight ahead to watch the vehicles in front and hope that the vehicles behind are watching you.
Most of the historic centre of Rome is closed to normal traffic. Police controls some entrances to the centre while other entrances have electronic gates. You are not allowed to drive to the centre of Rome from 6.30 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday and 2 pm to 6 pm Saturday unless you are a resident or have special permissions. All 27 streets accessing the so called ” Limited Traffic Zone ” have been equipped with electronic access detection devices. To avoid a fine customers wishing to drive to hotels in these areas should first contact the hotel management who will fax authorities with your number plate.
Although Rome’s traffic is nowhere near as cahotic as that of Naples some drivers particularly motorcyclists do not stop at the red lights. And do not expect them to stop at pedestrian crossing either.
