This week, AVweb’s news roundup found reports on the opening of spectator registration for a STOL event, a record number of submissions for an aviation scholarship, a simulator training center expansion and an engine development agreement for a VTOL company. ArkanSTOL has officially opened spectator registration for its “Ozark Backwoods Challenge” short takeoff and landing (STOL) event. Designed to more closely “emulate real STOL flying/situations,” the event is scheduled to take place Sep. 29 – Oct. 3 at Byrd’s Adventure Center (51AR) in western Arkansas.
