More safety-enhancing features. ✅ More aircraft systems and avionics integration. ✅ Managing the airplane made easier from pre-flight to in-flight. ✅

Teased a little over a year ago and shown off in a few DCS World status updates, the time is approaching where Eagle Dynamics will release their latest module. DCS: CH-47F is a modern take on the classic tandem rotor helicopter first introduced in 1962 and still in service today. The modern variants feature glass panel cockpits and modern avionics capabilities, night vision compatible displays, and an advanced flight control system.

This article brings about the age old debate of Autonomy vs Authority when it comes to piloting an aircraft. Just wondering if the “FAA mandated Horizontal Stabilizer modifications” would involve the issue with the enhanced Takeoff Stall Protection (TSP) function on the G700. 🤔 This design feature is an envelope protection function to protect the airplane from over- and rapid-rotation on takeoff using the Flight Control computers. Given the potential of stall-in-ground-effect due to the wing-to-runway surface clearance on swept wing aircraft, this an excellent feature during normal, uneventful takeoffs. However the issue remains if it would work against the pilot when a higher rotation rate to liftoff may be required (e.g windshear etc.)? I guess the jury is still out on this one…

Once sanctioned, the aircraft-on-a-chip will be constructed according to the stipulated design and tested at Edwards Air Force Base. Should the physical aircraft correlate accurately with its digital counterpart, then from a research and development viewpoint, the aircraft-on-a-chip qualifies as a functional airplane. This digital-first approach allows for updates and enhancements via software, bypassing the costs, time, and environmental toll typically associated with traditional physical modifications.

💡 Upgrade Opportunity for Cessna Citation XL, XLS, and XLS+ Fleets💡 With an active XL fleet of 349 units, XLS at 321 units, and XLS+ at 310 units, we’re nearing 1,000 aircraft eligible for this upgrade! 🚀 When appraising the value of this upgrade, what number would you use to compare these aircraft against those without it? 📈 Let’s discuss how this update can impact the pre-owned market: 🛩️ Enhancing desirability: Upgraded jets appeal more to buyers seeking advanced technology, improved performance, and comfort, often resulting in faster resale 🛩️ Increasing residual value: Aircraft with modern upgrades hold their value better, making them more competitive in the resale market—possibly even commanding higher resale prices 🛩️ Improving long-term ROI: Charter operators who invest in upgrades can expect better returns through increased charter rates and operational savings—or is that just a dream? 🤔 I’d love to hear your thoughts—how do you think this upgrade will shape the market? #aviation #privatejets #CitationXL #XLS #XLS+ #jetupgrades #preownedjets #aircraftappraisal #aviationmarket #JETRON

Reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) is the reduction, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between flight level 290 (29,000 ft) and flight level 410 (41,000 ft).

IGNITION SYTEM All units in an aircraft ignition system are controlled by an #ignition switch in the cockpit. The type of switch used varies with the number of engines on the aircraft and the type of magnetos.
