What’s the Difference Between WCAG, the EAA, and EN 301 549?, by @TPGi:

Yesterday was the Tuesday build night at my EAA chapter and one team managed to rivet the leading edge slat brackets to their wing while my team noticed that some of our custom made brackets violated the minimum edge distance for a rivet and so we had to remake them.
Progress is happening though and we're learning from our mistakes.
My proposal to the board to do four Fly Outs this year, with me as the flight leader, has been approved! EAA 41 is officially doing Fly Outs again! First up is May 25th, heading to Portage, WI (C47) to support EAA 371 chapter 's pancake breakfast and car show. They've recently had to fight to keep their airport open and that's a cause I can get behind. If you're in the area, come say hello (and show your support)!

email just arrived, from european association of archaeologists. the annual meeting was to be in belgrade, but in light of crackdown on student protests, they’re pulling the plug and moving fully online. i applaud the #eaa for having moral clarity here and the courage to do so. #archaeology

I got my Young Eagles stickers to hand out at the next rally my chapter does. They look good, I'm pleased.
Our Tuesday build night made good progress on the Zenith kit. I worked on making the leading edge slat brackets while others worked on getting ribs attached to the wings. It's nice working with clear instructions.
I ordered 100 Young Eagles stickers to give out to the kids we take flying at our next Young Eagles rally. It isn't much but I hope it'll help them remember the experience of flying when they look at it in the future.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA), introduced in 2019, sets EU-wide standards to make digital products and services more accessible for everyone.
With the compliance deadline fast approaching, read @tink's blog post to learn more about what it means, how it impacts you and crucially, what you need to do to comply.

Is it just my computer or does the @EUCommission really require me to login with a #Microsoft Account to see documents about accessibility in the “Testing early and regularly” section? (All external links in that section lead to Microsoft Sharepoint)

In lieu of current geopolitics I find that seriously disturbing.
Especially in the context of the European Accessibility Act #EAA and Web Accessibility Directive.

In my efforts to plan a fly-out for my EAA chapter I made a spreadsheet of events with times, dates, distances, and ranked things based on availability, runway type, and so on. I specifically looked up every EAA chapter in Wisconsin to try and see what events they might be having and I think for our first fly-out I am going to propose we go support EAA Chapter 371 for their Pancake Breakfast and Car Show at C47 on May 25th.
If any of you are Wisconsin (or like long XCs) pilots I hope you'll drop in too and we can chat airplanes.
Tuesday build at the EAA hangar. We started by making some slat support backets for the nose ribs while another team identified the ribs for the wing. An encouraging start to our build as we have nice instructions, a nice kit, and nice videos to help us.

Is anyone else planning on going to the #EAA #AirVenture in Oshkosh in July? I got my hotel reservation and tickets booked for Thursday and Friday. It's going to be my first time going during the week.
I was looking through my EAA chapter's 3-year plan and I noticed their goal was to do three fly-outs per year and last year we did zero. I'm pretty sure the year prior we also did zero (although I joined right after Air Venture). So, since I'm on the board I should do my best to make sure our goal plans are followed, yeah?
So now here I am drafting up destinations, pilot briefings, figuring out other logistics for passengers / waivers. I'd love for any tips or advice from others that have done fly-outs. One thing I'd like to do is order some "mission patches" for those that come along as a fun little handout. People, of course, don't have to take them if they don't want them.
I was looking to see if the EAA website had any guidance on setting up a fly-out but I didn't find much upon my first scrounging through. I'll probably email someone at HQ just to make sure, but in the absence of guidance I'm not afraid to make my own.
Have any of you gone on fly-outs with a chapter (or wanted to?). I'm reading other Chapter's blogs as well to suss out what makes success (food seems to be the big winner).
Some things I'd like to organize this year at my EAA chapter are a few pancake breakfast fly-in's at 79C and at least one fly-out (haven't figured where). We did a survey and the members would like to see more social events and hanging out + airplanes sounds like a win to me.
EAA Build Night at the Chapter. While some of us focused on creating an inventory of parts for the Murphy Rebel we are looking to sell the rest of us focused on cleaning the Zenith CH-750 kit from its 10 years of grime and dust. We were careful not to intermingle the parts and moved things around to store them while we processed things. The weather here is being generous and it is getting warmer.
