Calculate your bizjet budget. The Interactive Aircraft Budget Analyzer from Airpower Software is a computer program designed to calculate accurate operating costs of 175 business and personal aircraft. This comprehensive software package includes jets, turboprops, pistons and helicopters. The program allows users to create an instant budget by manipulating any of the preloaded information to change particular usage amounts or costs. These changes can be made to an individual preloaded figure or across the entire layout as needed. In addition to the preloaded database of 175 aircraft, the budget analyzer also allows users to create their own individualized budget by inputting operating numbers for any aircraft. Anyone who flies, buys, sells, finances or uses aircraft will find the Interactive Aircraft Budget Analyzer an invaluable software tool.

Guard against dehydration. Pilots often consume coffee, tea, and caffeinated soda while traveling, which can exacerbate dehydration. And dehydration can lead to electrolyte depletion, dizziness, fatigue, jet lag, inattention and possibly even pilot error. Studies have shown that lightly flavored non-caffeinated beverages encourage rehydration, and LJB Piper has introduced a five-calorie, fizzy lemon-lime electrolyte drink tablet that can be dissolved in water, teas or juices. Dubbed electroBlast Fizz-Tabs, the effervescent tablets are naturally flavored, don’t contain any artificial sweeteners and can be easily slipped into the neck of most water bottles. In July the National Health & Wellness Club gave its seal of approval for the Fizz-Tabs, which cost about 62 cents per tablet.
