The move follows the loss of most of its space to accommodate commercial air service, which began at the airport three years ago.

Frank Robinson announced the simultaneous launch of his company’s first turbine-powered model and of the engine, a compact derivative of the M250, that would make it possible in 2007.

Red Aircraft's new engine offers operators lower operating costs and a lower ecological footprint compared to turbine or radial engines, the company said.

A Canada Transport Safety Board report on a fatal accident points out the importance of preventing hypoxia.

These steps are universal and should be discussed in upset training by all check airmen.

The investigation into the loss of Aries Aviation International’s Piper PA-31 Navajo C-FNCI along with its pilot and a survey technician on Aug. 1, 2018, prompted Canada’s Transportation Safety Board (TSB) staff to do a deep dive into the literature on hypoxia. It seemed nearly certain that exposure to hypoxia and hyperventilation by the single pilot were prime causal factors in this case.

Eurocontrol faces the challenge on a daily basis of keeping ever increasing transborder traffic flowing, efficiently and safely while minimizing impact on the environment.

Considering the immense importance of Eurocontrol in enabling the unimpeded flow of European aviation, it is logical that the organization would represent a target to terrorists and other malefactors.

Eurocontrol is measuring climbs and descents as just one means of tracking and reducing fuel burn.

Climate change is affecting air travel in many ways beyond the use of jet fuel, and Eurocontrol is keeping an eye on all the new varialbles

Clear air turbulence (CAT) often strikes without warning and can toss unbuckled passengers, cabin crew and objects around, sometimes violently.

The North Atlantic Warming Hole (NAWH) is linked to a slowdown of the large system of ocean currents that carry warm water from the tropics northward into the North Atlantic.

Turbulence reports must be carefully evaluated because one citing moderate turbulence encountered by a Boeing 757 would translate into a much worse experience in a King Air. Why? In general, business aircraft are lighter and have lower wing loading than a commercial jet, and many have relatively little wing sweep, all of which increase the gust load factor and thus the amount of turbulence felt.

Prudence suggests that flight plans of the future more closely look at the likelihood of encountering clear air turbulence.

A look at the symbology on aviation weather charts.

Passengers may be in for bumpier rides in the future and the potential for serious injuries when unbuckled passengers and flight attendants are jolted around the cabin.

Faster, higher, roomier, quieter and, surprisingly, less expensive are five ways to differentiate the $60 million 6,500-nm-range G600 from the G550 in Gulfstream’s top-end product line-up.

These graphs are designed to illustrate the performance of the Gulfstream G600 under a variety of range, payload, speed and density altitude conditions.
