Safety

This new function for the SkyView HDX suite won’t guarantee a safe landing, but it could buy precious time when an engine fails.

Some guidance from those who approve the policies and pay the claims.

It’ll be unlike any rating you’ve ever gotten; it’ll be the toughest checkride you take; but it can be the most personally rewarding flying you ever do.

No bottles or batteries required. Aithre’s aircraft-powered oxygen maker generates breathing oxygen for two users at altitudes up to 15,000 feet.

A hardware-agnostic tracking platform hosted on Google Cloud servers, TracPlus tames data costs by using both cellular networks and satcomm.

Aithre’s Illyrian II Haptic Safety Wearable is an integral and useful biometric sensor within the Aithre ecosystem. Fewer wires would make it better.

While you weren’t looking, computer graphics and new hardware kicked home flight sims up several notches, but lots of processing power is a must.

Instrument training decisions start with figuring out whether to train in an aircraft with a classic six-pack instrument presentation versus a glass display as we’ll as whether to step up to an airplane that meets the FAA’s standards for a Technically Advanced Airplane (TAA)—one that has a moving map display, IFR GPS and an integrated […]

You love flying VFR. Its freedom is intoxicating and the things you have seen … yet there are times it’s not so great. Such as the two nights in the fleabag motel and the two days running the battery flat on your phone as you haunted every weather site you could find while you waited […]

The Illyrian full-time wearable SpO2 sensor was one of Aithre Aviation’s first products, and it has been an important component in Aithre’s app (and panel display) cockpit biometric monitoring suite.  Unlike finger pulse oximeters that require an alert pilot to use, the Illyrian’s continuously wearable earlobe pulse ox sensor fits under a headset ear cup […]

Most flight into known icing (FIKI) systems are only available for certified aircraft, and that limits the mission capabilities of high-performance experimental aircraft. Up in my Great White North region, that means popular go-places kit-built aircraft are often grounded when anti-ice-equipped certified ones might launch.  Buenos Technologies of Redmond, Oregon, has developed a de-icing system […]

We have a bias when it comes to flight training: We think that high-quality training, at all levels, is essential to overall aviation safety. We’ve watched the quality of flight training increase over the last several decades and feel that it has played a role in the decreasing accident rate for all segments of aviation […]
