Sport Aviation and Jet Aircraft
To our knowledge, the Eclipse 500 [pre-delivery] order book is greater than that of any single civilian jet in the history of aviation.

Entering Business Aviation, Part I: Types of Aircraft
The jets that people fly in corporate aviation are usually a lot smaller than those found with the airlines. Lastly, Embraer has recently entered the business jet fray with their Legacy aircraft. Long a builder of regional jets, Embraer aircraft should start showing up increasingly as they are the low cost price leader in their category. Their newer aircraft will all have the Bombardier name, but in the meantime, the popular Challenger 604 and Global Express along with their 5000 model are some of the cabin class aircraft being flown today. Bombardier has several aircraft under the Challenger and Canadair moniker.

Common Cockpit Concepts and Convenient Configurations
Now then I am not criticizing the lack of cranial capacity in the modern day human, rather simply suggesting a reality check is needed. We spend too much time in training of soldiers, drivers, pilots, operators with increasingly more complicated equipment. If we borrow a friend's car we are constantly looking for where stuff is, where is the hood release, fuel hatch release and how the hell do I turn off this G-Dang windshield wiper? As machines get more complicated and humans become more brain dead due to bad use of natural selection, we will need counter these issues with better designed standardization such is being done in the CCI. If you gain or lose weight you can then adjust manually the Common Cockpit you are in and it will imprint on your SmartCard the new position. Humans do not have the patients for that really and the potential loss of equipment and life is the resultant.

China is Starting to Build Military Fighter Trainers
The JL-19 or FTC 2000 aircraft is a tandem two-seat, single engine jet fighter aircraft developed by Guizhou Aviation Industry. This would be one terrific little fighter plane to own for personal use and fly around as a sport plane too. And if you have the money, they would sell you one too. The JL-19 Mountain Eagle or the FTC-2000 it's NATO number will use the Chinese built WP-13 jet engine. Since it is both a fighter and trainer, some small countries, lacking a large fleet of fighter planes, could use the Mountain Eagle to train their fighter pilots in peace time, arming it for use as a fighter in war time.

Matt manages the Aviation Employment Board a job resource center for aviators. In aviation, there are certain things that must be included in a résumé to help you get noticed. If you are applying for work overseas the company or agency may want this information in addition to a full length picture of yourself and a headshot. I have heard objections from some about this particular practice. If you want to work internationally, you must respect local laws and customs.

Inflatable Slots for STOL
Additionally I believe that Winslow Life Raft Company could provide a significantly valuable inflation system, which would generally be used to rapidly deploy Navy Seal type rubber rafts. Short Take Off and Landing Aircraft are extremely valuable in commercial, private, government and military aviation. Cartridges only used for extreme take off performance safety factors or emergency landings. Each system would contain ten rechargeable cartridges. For standard landings if desired the system would be filled with ram air rather than a cartridge.

Fighter Jet Trainers Sport Planes
Aviation Week had some interesting things to say about this project. Many countries still are not exactly feeling good about buying the Korean T-50s. The US is now taking delivery of Raytheon's T-6A Texan 2 has the security of U. Now as a matter of fact I talked to a training pilot in San Antonio who said they were getting their first ones in last June. Many Aerospace consultants in Europe believe this aircraft may take the lead around the world as the trainer of place.

Is your air traffic control person real?
Think about this and the virtual reality simulators used in aviation. Generally these controllers have many things going on at once which you cannot possibly know and what looks like a pipe dream or wishful thinking on their part is part of a larger plan. You can also stay up on this information by subscribing the newsletter. It will not be long now before many aircraft are flying themselves and the air traffic control personal in the control towers do not even have windows to look outside, as the whole thing will be in a video game like augmented reality which will be recorded for later use in virtual reality training of new controllers in air traffic control simulators. This would be good so that Control Tower operators would not discuss the sightings of UFOs, etc as the reports from pilots come in.

You start out with trying to budget for the weekly flying lessons.

Helicopters - The Multi Utility Machines
But, with Indian skies opening up to international aviation and domestic aviation getting global, it is time we understand that helicopters are the connecting links towards its success. Pinpointing location, moving equipment, finding water sources and rescuing victims from high-rise buildings can also be done much faster. It provides observers a platform to assess a situation and provide ground units and other aircraft a clear description of the problem and how to combat it. As our society becomes media savvy everyday, new agencies and media groups need to get news faster and crispier. Thus, helicopters are used to reach the place of incident faster and report from there on.

Airline Fuel Costs Mount
Think of the military aviation, jets, helicopters, UAVs, AWACs, bombers and even flying gas stations in the sky for aerial re-fueling. Generally Airlines too are a 24-hour business. The airline industry is under extreme pressure now. If they keep raising their fees to passengers then the passenger per plane ratios drop off, meaning flight are unprofitable. It is like running several airlines non-stop 24/7.
