Are You Ready for Winter? 
  As we wing our way through December, and creep ever closer to the official start of winter, be sure to take a peek at the latest  FAA Safety Briefing. The November/December issue offers some very timely information on winter operations for the general aviation community. This issue includes features on flying with skis, how cold affects the body, and anti-ice and deice systems for GA.  
   The issue also includes personal advice from Flight Standards Service Director John Duncan, who was formerly based in Alaska.  Duncan emphasizes how the various topics covered in the magazine can be combined to provide a better winter weather strategy. Editor Susan Parson discusses the increased danger of carburetor fires in cold conditions in her Checklist column. And Aviation Safety Inspector Steve Sparks discusses the challenges winter poses for helicopter pilots.
