uAvionix

As the immediate ancestor to the best-selling Skyhawk, the Cessna 170 is historically significant.

For fair-weather flying and practicing approaches, drop-in uAvionix instruments and a Garmin GPS add just enough utility without breaking the budget.

The agency last week voted to allow certain drone operations on a dedicated radio frequency spectrum, with the goal of improving safety and access.

Bonded-skin construction forsakes rivets, making the Grumman Traveler more aerodynamic.

Early Mooney M20s are surprisingly fast considering the modest size and power of their engines.

The agency also approved UPS Flight Forward, uAvionix, and Phoenix Air Unmanned for extended operations.

Phoenix Air Unmanned, UPS Flight Forward, and uAvionix each received authorization to fly drones without the watchful eye of a remote pilot.

The partners used uAvionix’s SkyLine software to command and control drones beyond the operator’s line of sight.

Landmark approval permits BVLOS operations using C-band radio frequencies, which may soon be used solely for UAS.

Phoenix Air Unmanned, uAvionix, Zipline, and UPS Flight Forward are seeking relief from FAA restrictions.
