This page provides information for pilots and people that are interested in becoming pilots. Whether you are a commercial pilot or pilot your own small aircraft, it is important to have information about airports, aircraft, FAA regulations and where to obtain gear that pilots need. Most of this information is provided to you through your pilots training, but some of the Web sites might be new or of particular interest to you.

NASA is the Nation's leading government organization for aeronautical research. Many people tend to think of NASA as just a space agency but they have unmatched expertise in aeronautical engineering and its core research areas, including aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, materials and structures, propulsion, dynamics and control, sensor and actuator technologies, advanced computational and mathematical techniques, and experimental measurement techniques.

NASA's capabilities in aviation safety research are dedicated to improving the safety of current and future aircraft operating in the National Airspace System. The research focus is on the way vehicles are designed, built, operated, and maintained. Scientists and engineers in this program develop principles, guidelines, concepts, tools, methods, and technologies to address four areas: Aircraft Aging and Durability, Integrated Intelligent Flight Deck Technologies, Integrated Vehicle Health Management, and Integrated Resilient Aircraft Control.
