As we approach exciting new chapters in air transportation, it’s essential to reflect on the power of community engagement. Imagine the early days of aviation when jetliners were a novel concept. Airlines didn't just introduce a new way to travel; they invited communities to envision a future that was faster, more accessible, and full of possibilities. This was a journey made successful not just through innovation, but through active community participation and enthusiasm. Today, we find ourselves at a similar crossroads with Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). AAM promises to democratize our cities and skies and leveraging our national aviation assets including underutilized airports. This technology isn't just about rapid point-to-point transportation; it's about creating interconnected communities and opening new pathways for economic growth. If you are in the area, the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy center as part of the Soar Together at Air and Space will be hosting a Family Day on The Future of Air Transportation this Saturday.

EU-China APP workshop on Vertical and lateral flight efficiency Date: 27-28 March 2024, 09:30-16:00 Format: Onsite in Beijing Representatives of the European aviation community who wish to attend, please register by sending your name, title and company name to lizhu.ren@eu-china-app.org no later than 24 March 2024. Scope and content of this workshop: While contemporary aircraft most economic cruising levels are known to be positioned higher than in the past, availability of cruise levels is not always fully predictable. This unpredictability leads to extra reserve fuel to be carried in case optimum cruise level is not available at the moment the aircraft is flying its planned route.  The availability of Flight Levels could have a big impact on capacity and fuel-efficiency at the same time. And in the lateral plane too there are opportunities for optimization in terms of available routings relating to route structure, network and winds aloft. To exchange expert insights on both vertical and lateral flight efficiency possibilities, the EU-China Aviation Partnership Project (APP) will organise a workshop in Beijing, China, on 27 and 28 March. Representatives of authorities and air operators from Europe and China will discuss the following topics, among others: - Flight level allocation in Europe and China - Consideration on vertical flight efficiency in route network planning - Flight level use by airlines - Predictable cruise Flight Level allocation in high-density Upper Airspace - Lateral flight efficiency: performance indicators, regulations, parameters  - Lateral flight efficiency: airlines perspective

In mid-October, I attended the EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network conference on "Innovation in Aviation & Space towards Sustainability Today & Tomorrow." I presented my work, co-authored by Jasper van Kuijk, Klaas Boersma, and Sicco Santema, entitled "Flying through Europe by rail: the case of integrated Air & Rail journeys." During the presentation, I discussed the requirements for Airport Hubs to adopt multimodal service innovations in passenger Air & Rail journeys. I shared insights from field studies I conducted, focusing on creating a seamless multimodal passenger experience. Furthermore, I elaborated on how these insights can be implemented by airports. It was interesting to see how many people are trying hard to do their bit to make the aviation industry more sustainable. While my research lens is broad, I realized how incredibly important it is to also zoom in on the details. So lets take those little steps towards a more sustainable future of aviation, together! #multimodal #sustainable #aviation #airrail #innovation

Occasionally I find old aviation magazines among my papers like this Plane&Pilot from 2006. ADS-B technology was introduced in USA to provide information about weather, traffic and airspace to smaller airplanes. 2005 there was already more than 30 ground-based transmitters. That is almost two decades ago. Europe has been slow adaptor in this sence. Norway has started to build ground stations few years ago, but Finland doesn’t even have a plan for ground station coverage. Good new is that one university of applied science (XAMK) has started a project in cooperation with Flyk to build and test a ground station in Finland. We hope that this will be a start for next generation information management in aerospace here in Finland. ADS-B is the key for traffic avoidance, weather awareness and real-time airspace management. Safety and sustainability.

Delighted to contribute to this paper, which is a call to arms in how we collectively consider introducing and operating these amazing new aircraft safely. The innovations being developed are awesome, but we need to take the opportunity now to consider how we can safely harness them, how we can work together to make the most of the incredible opportunities they present. I for one can't wait until we see them soaring over our heads, and by harnessing aviation's relentless approach to safety we can do it with confidence. Now is the time to pull together the eVTOL community, to think across borders, to challenge ourselves and each other so that we listen, we learn and we embrace their safe introduction. We must collaborate rather than compete when it comes to safety #soartogether #safetyleadership #collaboration

RNP vs RNAV I am so thrilled upon the response received on my post on how RNP and RNAV revolutionize aviation navigation (https://lnkd.in/gcwFA9Vr) I got inspired to make a post dedicated to the technical aspects on RNP vs RNAV. • RNAV stands for Area Navigation and RNP stands for Required Navigation Performance. Similarities include.. both fall under the roof of PBN( Performance based Navigation). Both have geographically defined waypoints instead of traditional physical nav-aids. • RNAV and RNP systems are fundamentally similar. The key difference between them is the requirement for on-board performance monitoring and alerting. A navigation specification that includes a requirement for on-board navigation performance monitoring and alerting is referred to as an RNP specification. One not having such requirements is referred to as an RNAV specification (Extract from ICAO Manual) • RNP requirements are more stringent compared to RNAV, this ensures more reliability. • RNAV routes are mostly used in oceanic airspace whereas RNP routes are mostly used over congested areas such as approach and departure due to their narrow and lateral coverage ensuring more separation and safety. • RNP operating minimums are lesser than RNAV Additionally, Because specific performance requirements are defined for each navigation specification, an aircraft approved for a RNP specification is not automatically approved for all RNAV specifications. Similarly, an aircraft approved for an RNP or RNAV specification having stringent accuracy requirements (e.g. RNP 0.3 specification) is not automatically approved for a navigation specification having a less stringent accuracy requirement (e.g. RNP 4).(Extract from ICAO Manual) In conclusion, RNP is an advanced RNAV. You might ask, then why not replace existing RNAV with RNP. The catch is, for this change many of the existing aircrafts has to be upgraded with new equipments to completely operate with RNP, which is a costly affair. So, we shall continue to use RNAV and replace it gradually. This post is open for discussion and kindly share your insights. I might have missed what you know 😅 Thank you all.. for continuously inspiring me and educating me with your expertise 😇 Reference: International Civil Aviation Organization Doc 9613, Doc 8168) Image credit: Google images Fly High! -Meenakshi Somasundaram ✈️ #AviationNavigation #PrecisionFlying #InnovationInAviation #PerformanceBasedNavigation #RNAV #RNP #FlightSafety #ICAO #AviationTechnology #PilotCommunity #AviationInsights #Discussion #ExpertiseSharing #FlyHigh #AviationKnowledge #AvGeek #FlightOperations #NavigationSystems #AviationStandards #AircraftUpgrades #CostEfficiency #TechnicalInsights #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning #IndustryUpdates #AviationSafety #NavigationalEquipment
