Air Ambulance Fleet Gains Wireless Comm Suite

Salt Lake City's Life Flight air ambulance service is Utah's largest, most well known aerial medical provider. Recently, they equipped their new Leonardo A109SP helicopters with Axnes PNG Wireless Intercommunication Services (WICS) for ease of use, safety, situational awareness, and communications both in and out of the aircraft. Accurate, clear crew comms are vital in the rocky mountain rescues often flown to by the service, fraught with densely wooded forest and unforgiving cliff faces. Life Flight has simplified its crew comms with the provision of the WICS, allowing for each member of the crew, from medical care to flight, the ability to clearly and safely relay orders, requests, or treatments with

Aero Linx: Office of Aerospace Medicine, Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) The FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) is the medical certification, research, education, and occupational health wing of the FAA's Office of Aerospace Medicine. The goal of our activities is to enhance aviation safety. After America's first successful flight in 1903, the first aviation fatality could not be far off. Amazingly, five years would pass before the first fatal accident. But since then, safety has been an important concern. In 1926, the Civil Aeronautics Act marshaled the talents of the medi

Scheduled Time Of Arrival (STA) A STA is the desired time that an aircraft should cross a certain point (landing or metering fix). It takes other traffic and airspace configuration into account. A STA time shows the results of the TBFM scheduler that has calculated an arrival time according to parameters such as optimized spacing, aircraft performance, and weather.

“EAA’s founder, Paul Poberezny, created a culture nearly 70 years ago where anyone who wished to enjoy the freedom of flight was welcome to participate, and our mission of growing participation in aviation has thrived under that vision. The dedication of EAA’s members, chapters, and staff have made it possible to grow the organization to new levels. I thank every EAA member who has contributed through the years and found value in being a member, as EAA began as a small group of builders and restorers but quickly grew into an organization that engages everyone who enjoys the world of flight.” Source: EAA Boss Jack Pelton, commenting, as the Experimental Aviation Association passed a big milestone for the once ni
