Back in aviation’s Golden Age, the purpose of air racing was not simply to collect trophies and headlines, but to help advance the science of aeronautics and propulsion, which it did. But does it still? I recently went to Reno, Nevada, to find out.
The National Business Aviation Association has been part of an industry task force to provide input to the FAA on NOTAM reform and other information management issues.
Eurocontrol's Eduard “Eddie” Porosnicu discusses the digital NOTAM project his organization is prosecuting for the EASA's SESAR ATC modernization program.
