Government Sponsored Sites

ASRS - Aviation Safety Reporting System - a volunteer self disclosure reporting system designed to help monitor trends in the National Airspace System. Some people refer to this still as the “NASA” forms.

General Aviation Information

Gaservingamerica.org - Learn about General Aviation’s critical role in the U.S. economy and the essential role it plays in the daily lives of all Americans. Then learn how aviation works with simple explanations and lots of interactive diagrams and award-winning photos
Aerofiles Aviation Glossary - A good aviation glossary. These are definitions I used for my glossary of terms and abbreviations in the Ask a CFI blog (see my summary of their glossary)
Aviation Portal - Pilot Friend.com maintains a very nice aviation portal with a nice collection of general aviation information

Weather

ADDS - This is my go-to site for aviation weather. My favorite feature is the Airmet and Sigmet viewer. No more trying to figure out where the VORs and boundary area is for significant weather. They also have a very nice collection of Java Tools

Wunderground - Most good pilots I know are by necessity are weather geeks. This site appeals to my geeky weather side. Lots of neat features including animated radar, tropical weather, weather blogs, weather photos, historic weather. You can buy a subscription for no ads and some enhanced features (worth every penny).

Clubs and Organizations

AOPA - Aircraft owner’s and pilot association. Every general aviation pilot should belong to this group. No question about it. They protect airports from closing and most importantly represent and lobby general aviation interests before government. The only reason we don’t have massive user fees and European airspace rules is because of AOPA.
