Airbus Helicopters’ Post

The EGPWS system will adjust colours on the terrain display automatically as the aircraft altitude changes. The terrain display transitions between the lower altitude relative display and the higher altitude peaks display automatically. No pilot action is required. The most important function of the EGPWS is to give the pilot easy interpreted information about terrain/obstacles relative to the aircraft, and increase the situational awareness for the pilot. In general, the normal presentation of green, yellow and red colours. #egpws #avionics #helicopters Aircrafts & Helicopters #aircraftmaintenancetechnician

NEW VIDEO: The Critical Role of Two Pilots on the Flight Deck https://lnkd.in/emghzrmV As the push for Extended Minimum Crew Operations (eMCO), Reduced Crew Operations (RCO), and single-pilot concepts gains momentum, it's critical to ask: At what cost? In this powerful video, the presidents of IFALPA, European Pilots, and Air Line Pilots Association, explain why TWO pilots on the flight deck are essential for ensuring safety in aviation. While automation can support flight operations, it can never replace the safety, resilience, and adaptability that two pilots bring. No single-pilot proposal has demonstrated an equal level of safety—let alone a superior one. Two pilots = safer skies Stand with us to protect our skies and maintain at least two pilots in every cockpit! https://lnkd.in/emghzrmV Amornvaj Mansumitchai Otjan de Bruijn Jason Ambrosi Tanja Harter #SafetyStartsWithTwo #AviationSafety #OneMeansNone #Aviation

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears. The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!" He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks, "Well, how was that?" The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!" The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that? Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" The AirBus pilot laughs and says, "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry. The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

A selection of our database updates today * Turbine helicopters - we checked out a new Leonardo AW169 which has started test flying this week, and we know which contract it will be flying on * Heliports and Airports - this screen grab from Google Maps shows a location we added to our files today, building on the 23,400+ helipads (and 56,600 airfields) already known. * Helicopter Contracts - validated details of a contract renewal that starts over 21 months from now. #Helicopter #MarketIntelligence

Repetition is the key to mastery, and Frasca helicopter simulators make it possible. Train on multiple approach and departure procedures for various airfields, multiple times, all in a short span. https://bit.ly/3SnL5zU #helicopters #flighttraining #pilottraining

Attention drawn to pilot fatigue as Batik Air pilots reportedly nod off mid-flight. In Europe, pilot fatigue persists as a significant issue: A 2023 survey of 6,900 pilots revealed 72.9% feel they lack sufficient rest between shifts, with three-quarters experiencing microsleeps on duty in the last month. Gain deeper insights into this critical topic with our latest post, and don't miss the thought-provoking article linked below. https://lnkd.in/dMHDyiT2 (Credit: Getty Images & BBC By Zaria Gorvett, Features correspondent) #simbuddy #aviation #aviationnews #airlines #pilots #aircrew #aviationindustry #captains #captain #fo #firstofficers #firstofficer #airlineindustry #cityjet #atc #AirTrafficControl #airtrafficcontroller #pilotfatique #luchtvaart #bombardier #boeing #embraer #pilot #flightsafety #aviationsafety #humanfactors

Australian and International Pilots Association have been vocal about the risks of Reduced Crew operations. System redundancy is the foundation of aviation and its hard to see how that can be achieved with only a single pilot present on the flight deck. The most obvious question that remains unanswered though; how do you train someone on a single pilot airliner? How do I take a General Aviation pilot and teach them the intricacies and nuances of the weather radar? How do I share my 30 years of heavy jet airline experience with a pilot with one month of jet experience if they’re not sitting beside me? RCO is a solution looking for a problem where non exists but will likely create a series of far more significant problems.
