Aviation division leads other units with strong year-over-year performance.

Nav Canada and Transport Canada announced Tuesday that a new ADS-B mandate will go into effect on February 23, 2023, which will require aircraft flying in Class A and B airspace above 12,500 feet to use ADS-B Out.  Using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology similar to GPS, ADS-B calculates an aircraft’s location, speed, and […]

His Cessna Citation CJ1 wasn’t his first love affair with an airplane, but the pilot still celebrates the classic jet on Valentine’s Day.

A little bit of due diligence now can save you an expensive headache later, or worse.

Raytheon Technologies Corp., an aerospace and defense company, said its fourth-quarter net income increased, driven in part by the recovery of the domestic short-haul air travel industry. However, difficulties in the global supply chain continued to slow results overall. Adjusted net income for the quarter totaled $1.61 billion, or $1.08 per share, compared with $1.12 […]

A walk through the production facility that houses Innovative Solutions & Support lifts the curtain on the wide range of avionics created within, each set on solving a specific issue for a specific aircraft model. Geoff Hedrick founded the company in 1988 to do just that—with great success over the intervening 34 years. Hedrick died […]

Technology reduces pilot load in the event of engine power loss.

Aviation leaders are in the midst of a perfect storm, a convergence of trends conspiring against the MRO sector that are making it increasingly difficult to maintain and repair aircraft across the entire aviation industry—and hitting GA particularly hard.

Although the fledgling electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) industry faces a long path to aircraft certification and entering service, avionics giants are already defining the future of this new aviation sector.  No pressure. They’re just taking on the challenge of merging electronics and visual displays—across flight controls, navigation, communication, fuel systems, and threat detection—for […]

A faulty glideslope connection fools a pilot into following the instrument’s needle almost into the ground.
