Summit Aviation Blog – Federal Aviation Regulations

The regulations can be heavier than the freight for air carriers.

Forty Six Reasons Air Freight Companies Depend on the Digital Reference Library
/
Air Freight Carriers  have a lot of regulations to keep track of, and like most of the aviation industry are doing a lot more work with fewer people. The average consumer or industrial customer has no idea about the regulatory burden the airlines that ship goods quickly around the world. And the regulations (FAA, TSA, EPA and others) can change any business day.
/
Keeping on top of the regulatory changes is harder than ever, and many regional and national airlines rely on Summit Aviation to keep them current.

A couple of incidents recently have reminded me about the fallibility of computers! Jon describes it as “pathologically undependable”.

/

My daughter’s computer got a virus and was advised to “wipe her hard drive” – and lose years of documents and all the pictures that she had taken of her children. (Fortunately, she didn’t take the advice and everything was recoverable.)
/

One of our customers has spent years book marking and highlighting his copy of our Library. Suddenly, it didn’t reconcile when he got a new update. He emailed us the critical file and after several hours of Jon’s time, we were able to recover the file, but it was touch and go.
/

So, the bottom line:
/
Back It Up Jack!
/
Back it up to a CD-R, a flash drive, an on-line service – whatever.
/
And what do you back up?
/
c:\Program Files\Summit Aviation\Reference Library\sdw\summit.sdw
/
Summit.sdw is the file that stores all of your bookmarks, highlighters and notes.
/
If you have created Custom Collections, you also need to back up C:\Program Files\Summit Aviation\Reference Library\custom.txt
/
Back up early and often!
