LUAW & Insurance

For those aviators who don't already know, the phrase "Position and Hold" will no longer be used in any tower controlled airport. This phraseology will be changed to "Line Up and Wait". This is being done in accordance with ICAO standards. Additional information can be found at FAA.gov and a video about it from the FAA Safety Team can be seen HERE.

Also, I learned of a great insurance policy that AOPA offers to provide you with legal services in the event that the FAA suspends or revokes you license. It is only $33/yr and is well worth it, or at least looking into. More information on it can be found HERE.
