AURA Network Systems is pleased to share its latest white paper on RTCA, Inc.'s DO-377 -- the performance-based standard for Command and Control (C2) link systems required for large uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) / remote piloted aircraft to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) within controlled airspace. DO-377B is the product of significant research and analysis into the performance requirements of any C2 link controlling a UAS/RPAS, including availability, continuity, integrity, and latency for all phases of flight and in all types of airspace. Operators will want to understand the likely regulatory landscape focused on achieving FAA certification of airborne elements, along with operational approval of ground elements. AURA not only designs C2 links to support operators' safety cases, but offers deep expertise to help operators navigate approvals and compliance with emerging standards.

🚀 **Understanding RVSM Airspace Requirements & Certification Process: Why It Matters** ✈️ In aviation, safety and efficiency are paramount. One critical area that requires close attention is Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace, which allows for reduced vertical separation between aircraft flying at altitudes between 29,000 and 41,000 feet. Operating in this space without the necessary certification can lead to costly delays, reroutes, or safety concerns. Here’s why understanding RVSM requirements is essential: 1. **Increased Efficiency**: RVSM enables more efficient flight paths, reducing fuel consumption and improving airspace capacity. Mastering the certification process helps operators access these benefits. 2. **Compliance and Safety**: Aircraft must meet stringent standards to fly in RVSM airspace. Understanding the certification process ensures compliance with international safety regulations, helping avoid penalties and operational disruptions. 3. **Technical Knowledge**: RVSM certification requires that your aircraft’s altimetry systems, autopilot, and altitude reporting systems are tested and verified. Familiarizing yourself with these requirements is crucial to ensure your aircraft is properly equipped. 4. **Continuous Monitoring**: Certification is not a one-time event. Ongoing monitoring and periodic recertification are necessary to ensure continued compliance. In today's fast-paced aviation industry, staying informed about RVSM requirements isn't just about compliance—it's about optimizing operations, saving costs, and ensuring the highest levels of safety. #Aviation #RVSM #Airspace #Safety #Efficiency #Certification #Compliance #AviationSafety #FlightOperations

Did you know that the cockpit, also known as a flight deck, is the area in an aircraft from which pilots control the flight. It contains essential flight instruments, controls, and displays vital information such as altitude, speed, and navigation data. Modern cockpits often feature glass cockpit designs, utilizing electronic displays instead of traditional analog gauges, enhancing efficiency and situational awareness for pilots. #aviation

G-force in airplanes refers to the force felt by objects inside the airplane against the force of gravity. Since the plane moves in the air flow, the plane and its passengers feel this force during various maneuvers. Positive G-force refers to the force felt on the body from bottom to top, which usually means some type of tugging or acceleration in the aircraft. Negative G-force refers to the force felt on the body from top to bottom. Aircraft maneuvers may require pilots to control G-force. #Gforce #WW2 #Pilot #Science #Technology #Information #News #Explore #physical #Airplane

Did you know that Class A airspace is the highest level of controlled airspace in the United States? It encompasses all #airspace above 18,000 feet MSL up to flight level 600 (60,000 feet MSL) across the United States, excluding certain designated areas such as special use airspace and airports with specific airspace requirements. In Class A airspace, aircraft must operate under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), meaning they rely solely on their instruments for navigation and control. Air traffic controllers manage Class A airspace meticulously, using sophisticated radar and communication systems to maintain safe separation between aircraft. #Pilots flying in this airspace must hold an instrument rating and follow strict altitude assignments and routing instructions. Stay tuned for more insights into the fascinating world of #aviation! ✈️ #StratusFinancial #aviationdaily #flightschool

How do airplanes land with no visibility? Airplanes can land with no visibility using advanced technology and procedures. Instrument Landing System (ILS): This system provides precise guidance to pilots using radio signals and a combination of horizontal and vertical guidance beams. Pilots follow these signals to align the aircraft with the runway.
