From the flight deck

It’s here. Those vehicles in the cartoon show, The Jetsons; the ones in the sci-fi movies slicing between skyscrapers, they’ve become a reality and are less than five years away from full operation. One of those ingenious companies is Volocopter and they’ve introduced a new member to their family: VoloConnect.

There’s a new bird in Canadian air space and not just any bird. iinta is excited to report that North Carolina based parent company, Jet It, has aligned with Skyservice Business Association for aircraft management and operations. This will offer Canadian private jet ownership and travel to its clients up to a maximum of 130 days a year.

I remember flying with the cockpit door open at all times but that changed after 9/11. It took a while for the aviation sector to rebound after these tragic events. The whole industry had tore-think security measures and it has never been the same.

I don’t know any flight that I have flown as a pilot or as a passenger where turbulence wasn’t present. Turbulence or as the non aviator type would call it, air pockets, has been terrifying so many since the beginning of passenger flying. I can surely appreciate the level of anxiety and tension people might feel when the aircraft encounters turbulence.
