Dassault has completed the critical design review of its next new business aircraft, the long-range, widebody Falcon 6X twinjet, and is closing in on the preliminary design of the advanced low-noise follow-on project, which is widely dubbed the 9X.
The facility officially reopened in early October, complete with a new, state-of-the-art, 40,000-sq.-ft. hangar, equipped with 30-ft. doors to accommodate aircraft as large as the Gulfstream 650.

Traditionally, the bizav industry has been willing to accept training focused on ensuring a pilot meets minimum standards, TRU Simulation CEO David Smith told The Weekly of Business Aviation. “That’s not good enough,” Smith said.
Surveillance data provider Aireon and the Cocesna air navigation services agency have signed an agreement to deploy space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) in six Central American countries.

Red Aircraft's new engine offers operators lower operating costs and a lower ecological footprint compared to turbine or radial engines, the company said.
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.
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.
These graphs are designed to illustrate the performance of the Gulfstream G600 under a variety of range, payload, speed and density altitude conditions.
