This is a great column by Sheryl Barden, CAM on the issues facing #businessaviation with the #pilotshortage. "What we have today isn’t exactly a shortage of #pilots, but rather a shortage of qualified pilots, particularly in business aviation....Some military pilots are bypassing the #airlines entirely, looking straight to business aviation. And a few pilots who left business aviation for the airlines are now returning....The real problem is that we’re not developing enough of the highly experienced, tenured pilots that corporate flight departments are looking for." https://lnkd.in/eRUGa2Wv

Strix and the Portuguese Air Force Sign Protocol for "Bird Safe" Project In a significant step forward for aviation safety, Strix and the Força Aérea Portuguesa | Portuguese Air Force proudly announce the signing of a protocol for the pilot project known as "Project Bird Safe". This pioneering initiative aims to drastically reduce the risk of bird strike incidents, a critical concern in aviation safety. "Project Bird Safe" focuses on the configuration and adaptation of the Birdtrack® system, an innovative approach designed to enhance safety during aircraft take-off and landing phases within the aeronautical environment. The project's goal is not only to mitigate the risks associated with bird strikes but also to set a new standard in aviation safety protocols. The collaboration between Strix and the Força Aérea Portuguesa | Portuguese Air Force marks a landmark moment in the commitment to aviation safety. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of the Birdtrack® system, "Project Bird Safe" aims to provide a safer flying environment for both military and civilian aircraft, thereby protecting wildlife and ensuring the safety of air operations. This protocol signifies a major step forward in the use of Birdtrack® technology to address long-standing safety challenges in aviation. Both parties express their commitment to the success of the "Project Bird Safe" pilot and to the future of safer skies.

On World Pilot's Day, read this great article from East Anglian Air Ambulance with our pilot, Captain Steve.

[#IndustrySpotlight] Yesterday, it was #CoastGuardDay, celebrating 234 years of service and relentless dedication. To safeguard our waters and shores, the U.S. Coast Guard relies on their skilled crew of pilots and medical personnel as well as #helicopters that consistently operate in challenging conditions. Sikorsky MH-60 and Airbus MH-65 helicopters are ideal for search and rescue missions, including high performance engines from #aviation manufacturers such as Safran. Due to flying in extreme conditions, engines, rotor heads and gearboxes can be hampered by dust, sand, or debris. Our rotary lip seal is a proven sealing solution that protects these critical systems. ➡️Go here to read our aviation case study about #swashplates. https://lnkd.in/gKRXnScq We honor the heroic efforts of the Coast Guard and the importance of having dependable equipment to do their job safely and successfully. #RotaryLipSeals #RotaryShaftSeals #HelicopterSealsMaterials #USCG #RotorcraftIndustry #CaseStudy #Aviation

Today in Transportation History! 🚁 On July 15, 1952, two large Sikorsky H-19 helicopters made history by taking off from Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts. This marked the beginning of the first transoceanic crossing via helicopters. Learn more about this pioneering journey: [Link to the article] #TransportationHistory #Aviation #Innovation 🌍
