As of yesterday, when you think of corporate transportation in a Pilatus, it might not be a turboprop. The first Pilatus PC-24 took off on its maiden flight on Monday from Buochs airport.
The twin-engine business jet lifted off in just under 2,000 feet and climbed to 10,000 feet in around three minutes. It flew across central Switzerland for a total of 55 minutes and, according to reports, the flight went exactly as planned. The National EMS Pilot Association is referred to as NEMSPA. They have been working to address the concerns of EMS helicopters unintentionally flying into instrument meteorological conditions, which is the leading cause of EMS helicopter accidents. Now, NEMSPA has announced the initiation of the testing phase for the Enroute Decision Point protocol referred to as, EDP. The Department of Defense welcomed its first female F-35 Lightning II pilot at Florida's Eglin Air Force Base earlier this month. Lieutenant Colonel Christine Mau, the 33rd Fighter Wing Operations Group deputy commander, completed her first training flight in the single-seat fifth-generation fighter following 14 virtual training missions in the full mission simulator at the F-35 Academic Training
Center. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
