Daher is calling attention to the exceptional flights performed this month by owner-pilots on two TBM aircraft that traversed Antarctica and overflew the magnetic South Pole.

These achievements marked the first legs in earning the Polar Diamond Circumnavigator Diploma, recognized by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, which has only been awarded once before. One of the TBM owner-pilots – Sebastian Diaz from Santiago, Chile – reunited three generations of pilots in flying his TBM 850 with Diaz’ father, 88-year-old Patricio; and Sebastian’s son, Sebastian Jr., as copilots. The other TBM owner-pilot, Dierk Reuter from Chicago, USA, was flying with son Alex on his TBM 930, carrying cameras and an inflight tracking system using Iridium satellite connectivity. Tecnam and Universal Helicopters (UHI) have announced an aircraft purchase agreement for a fleet of 10 initial aircraft for two fixed-wing flight training locations. The purchase consists of four P2008 LSA, four P2010 standard category 4 place, and two P2006T twins. UHI is a large FAA Part 141 Training company, operating up to 58 helicopters for flight training and has its sights set on the Fixed-Wing training market. A full year’s worth of testing and more than 85 hours of flight time has allowed Bell’s V-280 Valor to reach its namesake cruising speed of 280 knots true airspeed. Bell and Team Valor continue to expand the flight envelope. The next stages will expand the performance envelope highlighting further low-speed agility maneuvers, angles of bank and autonomous flight. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
