But did you know there’s a set of dual aft strakes that have been on the market since 2008 that do both? Even better, they cost considerably less than the trendy newcomers that only do one or the other.Designed and manufactured by Aircraft Performance Modifications (APM) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, these stability-enhancing aft body strakes are rec- ommended by pilots across the country, including Apollo XVII Commander Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon.Strakes increase safety by streamlining the body vortices under the aft fuselage, creating an area of increased pressure under the empennage and reducing the amount of drag and adverse yaw. APM’s strakes also increase performance, delivering a 4-7% increase in true airspeed, increased yaw stability and rate of climb, decreased stall speed, and lower overall flight time and fuel costs.APM founder Steve Hinckley initially designed the strakes for his Cessna 421C. Since then, their product line has expanded to include all Cessna 400 series and also the 340 series.APM’s dual aft strakes are a proven, inexpensive way to increase safety and performance at the same time. Whenan engine failure occurs, aft body strakes will improve your safety margin at the most critical time. Even if you neverneed the increased safety, you’ll always benefit from their boost in performance. And unlike other trendy upgrades,they’ll never become obsolete or outdated.For more information, call (855) 499-8316, or visit www.AircraftSTC.com.See our ad on page 48Arizona Type Ratings (ATR)26261 N. Paso Trail, Scottsdale, AZ 85255 arizonatyperatings@yahoo.com(602) 614-7994There are several areas that set ARIZONA TYPE RATINGS (ATR) apart from other type rating schools.They have a unique animation program for the aircraft systems training which covers the C500 series, C510, C525 series and the Williams FJ44 converted 500 series Citations. ATR’s 5 day initial PIC C500, C510 or C525 courses specialize in actual aircraft flight training which they prefer to offer over simula- tor training. In addition, if you desire they will travel to your location.This allows you to continue conducting business at home and they put up with the hassle travel has become. Furthermore when a client purchases a new or used Citation, an ATR instructor will travel to the delivery location and fly the plane to its new home with the owner/pilot receiving flight instruc- tion in the process. ATR’s instructors hold multiple type ratings and are seasoned jet pilots with many thousands of hours of type rating instruction. Many pilots who have earned type ratings at ATR continue receiving a 3 day recurrent training course from them year after year, frequently at the cus- tomer’s location. The value of on site training becomes evident as a convenient way to avoid traveling to a fixed location school to fly a simulator which probably does not replicate your airplane configuration.
