New White Paper Series Covers Broad Variety Of Topics
Quick quiz: what are the
differences between turbocharged and turbo-normalized? Unclear on
the nuances of spin certification? Want to know how range affects
payload? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in a
new white paper series recently published on Columbia
Aircraft’s website.
Currently, the website features original white papers covering
subjects including:
- Certification - Type Certificates and Supplemental Type
Certificates
- Induction Systems - Normally-Aspirated, Turbo-Normalized and
Turbo-Charged
- Cockpit Integration – Integrated Systems and Integrated
Components
- Inadvertent Icing Protection – Electric, Pneumatic and
Chemical
- Mission Flexibility – Range versus Payload
- Damage History
- Spin Certification – Spin Resistance, Spin Recoverable
and Equivalent Level of Safety
- Insurance - Importance of the First Quote
- Aircraft Ownership for the First-Time Buyer
“Clearly there is always a bit of confusion in the
marketplace regarding the choices facing the new aircraft
buyer,” said Columbia Aircraft Vice President of Marketing
and Business Development Randy S. Bolinger. “Marketing
hyperbole is partially to blame, but the larger culprit is the
rapid technological evolution in the aviation industry over the
past several years.”
Bolinger stresses the content of the program, dubbed Columbia
Aircraft University “Education on the Highest Plane,”
is factual, and not marketing hype. Specific aircraft types or
products are only used for example purposes where necessary to
illustrate a point.
“I believe that we’ve created a valuable resource
for aviation consumers and enthusiasts alike,” Bolinger
said.
Those interested may access Columbia Aircraft’s white
paper series by going to the company’s website and clicking

topics and plans to update the site frequently.
