Revolutionizing the Skies: Next Generation Avionics in Commercial Aircraft

Image
The avionics equipment elements of nextgen avionics have been defined in North America through efforts led by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA). They include leveraging existing aircraft capabilities, such as GPS/WAAS, localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV), area navigation (RNAV) and terminal required navigation performance (RNP), vertical navigation (VNAV) and flight information system broadcast (FIS-B), as well as increased use of portable or installed electronic flight bags (EFBs).   Request Sample at   In addition, new aircraft equipment capabilities that are targeted include data communications through flight management system (FMS) integration, global navigation satellite system (GNSS), landing systems (GLS), automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), and traffic information service - broadcast (TIS-B) for aircraft without traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS).   The transit...

Flying High with Blockchain: Revolutionizing Aviation Record-Keeping for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency

Image
Blockchains are decentralized & distributed database that are not bound to a specific hardware but scattered through a number of different computers. The information in a blockchain such as digital records of aircraft tail number & configuration, location of the part in the plane, manufacturer details, identity of each technician who has touched the part, and the location where the service was performed cannot be changed since every block is verified, sealed, and all record-keeping is stored in a manner that is accessible to everyone on the network.    Request Sample at     Blockchain technology is a distributed digital ledger that allows for secure and transparent transactions without the need for a central authority. In the context of aviation record-keeping, blockchain can provide a tamper-proof and transparent system for recording and storing critical information related to aircraft maintenance, flight operations, and other key aspects of aviation op...
