Australian Flying Mar-April 2014 is already on the loose. Adorned with an excellent John Absolon shot of a Beech Baron rotating off a grass runway. Inside is an array of interesting, informative and entertaining stories from the wonderful world of general aviation. Here’s a sneak peek.

*Ears to the Future – Four of aviation's largest headset manufacturers brief Steve Hitchen on what we can expect of their products in the future.

*Life on the Airpark – Paul Reynolds investigates the airpark culture and why aviators who live on airports think it's the best decision they ever made.

*Moving up – Charter pilots need to get used to flying turbines rather than the traditional piston twins, as Phil Smart explains.

*The Motion Picture – Hi-tech full-motion simulators have entered the GA world with two CKAS machines installed at Avia Aircraft in Moorabbin. Steve Hitchen went down there to see for himself.

*Next-Gen Navigation – IFR navigation is changing rapidly with the advent of ADS-B and Performance-based Navigation techniques. Brian Hannan guides us through the changes.

*Masterclass - Stalling – Who's afraid of stalling? Jim Davis shows how easy it is to do and why training techniques have created an unfounded fear.

*After hours – What to do when your engine strikes zero? Steve Hitchen looks at the options and gets expert opinions on your next move.
