ANGELS System First Official Flight

On Tuesday February 21, PALU organized the first official helicopter flight with ANGELS System.

Captain Paolo Serini (Air Corporate Srl) made a flight on a wonderful Airbus 145 over the heliport of Bresso (Milan), in order to test ANGELS System App and Ground Station. The visibility conditions were quite good and the flight was great; we set up some cameras to film pilot’s operations and the functioning of the App. The video will be soon available online, and it has been shown during our first HAI HELI Expo in Dallas.

We are proud to confirm that ANGELS worked just fine, and Mr Serini gave us some useful suggestions about App information and display.

We’d like to thank Mr Serini for his kindness and availability.

Get ready, ANGELS will soon arrive on the market.

HELICOPTER INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT

The United States Helicopter Safety Team will host the 2017 Infrastructure Summit at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Washington DC, on February 16-17.

The meeting was launched last year for the first time, and is now expected to foster discussions about the future of helicopter infrastructure within the realm of the low altitude environment of the National Airspace System.

Key topics will be: database integrity standards, accident investigation check list for infrastructure, infrared lighting standards for NVG and NVIS operations, single engine IFR aircraft certification, low level IFR routing criteria and implementation, HEMS weather tools, real time mesoscale analysis and in-cockpit weather improvements.

“The top three fatal accident categories – Loss of Control, Unintended IMC and Low-Altitude Flight – are all elements that can be majorly impacted by a well-designed infrastructure. A robust and well thought out infrastructure can be depended upon when pilots experience UIMC and are key pieces to preventing loss of control and CFIT accidents”, notes Rex Alexander, Co-Founder of HeliExperts Intl LLC and coordinator for the Summit.

Partecipants will be groups and companies that are some way involved with the following issues:

  • Heliport Safety, Standardization, Education and Oversight
  • Low Altitude IFR Infrastructure Design and Integration
  • Aviation Weather Gathering, Dissemination & Reporting
