Changing the pilot experience The fly-by-wire systems used by Dassault Aviation, Gulfstream Aerospace & Bombardier operate with a flight control computer (FCC) linked to a multi-servo digital #autopilot. Unlike mechanical systems of older aircraft, where a pilot controls every aspect of flight, it’s the computer that takes over once the pilot inputs commands. BAE Systems has designed controls that are customised & intuitive, by relaying pilot input every few milliseconds but are 40% more compact than five years ago. With Textron Aviation it was no surprise that they would sequence through one of its most successful models for next-gen treatment, the Citation CJ3 Gen2 update. Inside, the revised CJ3 looks & feels like a bigger jet than its predecessor, the updated Garmin G3000, coupled with the new GDL 60 #datalink, transforms the pilot’s suite into a connected cockpit. For Dassault the fly-by-wire controls & an advanced situational-awareness system called Falcon Eye are the #cockpit differentiators. Plus, the 6X has paved the way for an even larger wide-body, the ultra-long-range 10X. The Cirrus #flightdeck holds the big reveal, which is the company’s strategy to fully align its piston series (from the SR20 on up) to its SF50 #VisionJet by offering a remarkably similar #piloting experience, with an intuitive interface. The new #avionics are the brains behind a host of #piston-specific tools that #pilots will use to ease workload, navigate on the ground & in the #air, while enhancing comfort along with safety. With context-driven taxi displays, automatic tank switching, & flap-overspeed protection, the Cirrus SR G7 operates more like a #jet. On the other hand with Embraer up front, the optional #Runway Overrun Awareness & Alerting System that enhances stabilised approaches adds an extra layer of protection during a critical phase of #flight. Further, the Flight Stream 510 allows the #pilot to connect portable electronic devices to the #aircraft avionics, thus reducing workload. Not exactly a magic carpet, the general #aviation scene has never been better. #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav https://lnkd.in/dZ7_WVEj

✈️ The Future of Autonomous Aviation: Efficiency and Safety Reimagined Autonomous aviation is here, and it’s transforming the industry. Advanced AI and control systems are making flight operations more efficient, safer, and cost-effective. Pilots now have the opportunity to focus on high-level decision-making, reducing the risk of human error. This technology is already enhancing cargo delivery, military missions, and urban air mobility. The shift towards autonomous systems promises to redefine air travel, offering more reliable and passenger-centric services. What impact do you think this will have on the aviation industry? #AutonomousFlights #AviationTechnology #FutureOfAviation

FAA flight corridor approval for large cargo eVTOL ✈️ MightyFly has become the first large autonomous cargo eVTOL company to receive a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight corridor approval in the U.S. This flight corridor unlocks the potential for MightyFly to advance its flight testing capabilities, perform autonomous A-to-B flights within the general aviation airspace, test aircraft range, test long-range Command and Control (C2) datalink communication, and to test future Detect and Avoid system for BVLOS flights. Find out more > > https://hubs.la/Q02x58Mm0 MightyFly’s CEO, Manal Habib, said; “We are thrilled to publicly announce that we are the first large autonomous cargo eVTOL company to receive a flight corridor approval from the FAA and that we have already achieved some exciting and tangible flight test progress of the 2024 Cento. “This is a solid vote of confidence from the FAA in our work and our ability to perform safe autonomous flights in the general aviation airspace. We now look forward to demonstrating point-to-point delivery flights with our partners in this space.” Read more on the Advanced Air Mobility International website. #evtol #aircraft #advancedairmobility #cargo #aviation #aerospace

Good news! 👉 EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, has approved the certification basis for the Veronte Autopilot, making it the first guidance and flight control system for UAS and eVTOL to undergo an ETSO-C198 certification process. EASA has verified and approved the Certification Programme and the Article Technical Specification, documents that establish the certification basis for the Veronte Autopilot under the framework of ETSO-C198 "Automatic Flight Guidance and Control Systems (AFGCS)." This certification of the autopilot as a component will confirm compliance with manned aviation standards, facilitating the certification of both manned and unmanned aircraft. These levels of compliance are necessary for the operation of unmanned aircraft in the Certified Category (according to Regulation (EU) 2019/947) and for VTOL (VCA) aircraft that carry passengers. It will also enable the installation of the Veronte Autopilot in already certified manned aircraft in accordance with Regulation (EU) 748/2012 and its annex, known as Part 21. At the same time, this milestone positions Embention as a pioneer and leader in the certification of critical systems for unmanned and VCA / eVTOL aircraft. It represents another step towards enabling and normalizing critical operations with these types of aircraft, such as urban air mobility, including air taxis and urban freight transport. https://lnkd.in/dZhYRifG

Hello Aviators, #31of100 TOGA - Takeoff/Go-around Pilot flying a plane and need a burst of power for takeoff or to quickly climb away from a landing. That's what TOGA does. It's a feature in modern aircraft that gives the engines maximum thrust when you need it most. 1. Full Power: Takeoff: When pilots ready to leave the ground, TOGA ensures the engines are at full power, helping the plane lift off smoothly. Go-Around: If pilot decide to abort a landing and climb back into the sky, TOGA provides the extra thrust needed for a safe ascent. 2. Automatic Pilot Help: TOGA can work with the plane's autopilot system, guiding it to climb at the right angle and direction. 3. Throttle Control: The autothrottle system kicks in, adjusting the engine power automatically to give pilot just the right amount of thrust. #Aviation #Aerospace #FlightSafety #PilotTraining #AircraftSystems #AviationTechnology #Autopilot #FlightOperations #AviationIndustry #AviationEducation

This should be interesting. I applaud the manufacturer for requiring comprehensive training for new buyers--although it remains to be seen what exactly that entails--even thought it's not required by the Federal Aviation Administration for "ultralight" operators. However, I fail to see how they will police the knowledge and proficiency of operators who have purchased their product on the secondary market. We've already seen numerous instances of small hobbyist or commercial #drones being flown in #airspace where they don't belong and the close calls (or actual collisions) with #aircraft that result, despite regulations, training, and industry guidance intended to educate their operators. The era of George Jetson in his personal aircraft is rapidly approaching. #aviation #aviationindustry #aviationinnovation #evtol https://lnkd.in/esx9yg45

A Thorough Understanding Of The Aircraft's Autopilot System Is Essential For Professional Pilots to effectively manage in-flight emergencies, optimize aircraft performance, mitigate human error, navigate to safety, prevent emergencies, and comply with regulatory requirements. This knowledge empowers pilots to make more informed decisions and to take more decisive actions to keep everyone onboard safe during all phases of flight. By prioritizing knowledge and understanding of the autopilot system, professional pilots can enhance safety, efficiency, and overall performance in flight operations, benefiting both passengers and crew alike. Professional pilots must engage in continuous learning and skill development to maintain proficiency and adapt to technological advancements. Mastery of the autopilot system demonstrates a commitment to ongoing improvement and excellence in aviation practice and in the following areas: #pilotsafety #theprivatepilotnetwork #autopilot #aviation #aerospace
