Just as we were putting this episode of Airborne to bed late Thursday, we learned two pieces of news... good and bad. Unfortunately, we have confirmed that sport aviation pioneer and designer Jim Bede passed away July 9th, due to a sudden illness.
On a more positive note, we can report that Airbus will not get the drop on Pipistrel by being the first to electro-fly the English Channel... because a twin-engine electric CRI-CRI went ahead and did it -- and before the authorities could stop him, too. It was a beautiful move and we congratulate Hugues Duwal for the amazing feat. We’ll have more info on both these stories this Monday. For operators of the Robinson R-44 and R-66 helicopters, Cool City Avionics has some good news. Now the Aspen EFD-1000H flight display in these helicopters can be connected to the HAP and HFC series, 2- and 3-axis Autopilots thanks to an interface developed by Cool City Avionics. Cool City’s first Aspen Interface Supplemental Type Certification applies to installations on the Robinson R-66 helicopters. The Aspen interface will be available for retrofit on existing Robinson R-44 helicopters, for which Cool City already holds STC’s for its family of eight flight control systems.
