In dieser Folge nehmen wir eine der größten Hürden für die Vereinsfliegerei unter die Lupe: den drohenden Fluglehrermangel durch überzogene Bürokratie. Wer im Verein ehrenamtlich Privatpiloten ausbilden möchte, scheitert oft an der enormen Last der verlangten Berufspiloten-Theorie (CPL). Wir beleuchten die Hintergründe der EASA- und ICAO-Vorgaben, lassen erfahrene Ex-Airline-Kapitäne wie zu Wort kommen und diskutieren praxistaugliche Lösungsansätze, damit die Ausbildung im Verein bezahlbar und lebendig bleibt. Die wichtigsten Themen: • Bürokratie-Hürde CPL-Theorie: Warum die Berufspiloten-Theorie viele ehrenamtliche Fluglehreranwärter abschreckt. • Fluglehrermangel im Verein: Das Alters- und Nachwuchsproblem in Vereinsflugschulen. • Reformbedarf & Zukunft: Die EASA-Initiative „RMT.0194“ und die Forderung nach einer praxisnahen, integrierten Ausbildung. Kommunikation am Flugplatz & im Cockpit Kommunikation im Luftsport ist weit mehr als nur standardisierte Phrasen über Funk. In dieser Folge dreht sich alles um das menschliche Miteinander am Flugplatz und im Cockpit. Wir zerlegen Gespräche in ihre verbalen, paraverbalen und nonverbalen Bestandteile und zeigen, wie der Generationenwechsel als Chance genutzt werden kann Erfahre, wie du Kritik mit der Sandwich-Methode konstruktiv verpackst, Konflikte entschärfst und durch klare Kommunikation die Flugsicherheit erhöhst. Die wichtigsten Themen: • Die 3 Ebenen der Kommunikation: Warum Inhalt, Tonfall und Körpersprache am Flugplatz zusammenpassen müssen. • Konstruktive Feedback-Kultur: Konfliktlösung, Ich-Botschaften und die Sandwich-Methode im Debriefing. • Sicherheit durch Sprache: Warum empathische und präzise Kommunikation am Boden und im Sprechfunk Leben rettet.
DESCRIPTION: Number 17 in the queue for start. Forty minutes at the hold. Ryan flies in and out of O.R. Tambo every day, and this week FlySafair said the quiet part out loud. Bryan and Ryan are back for the weekly catch up. Ryan reports from the cockpit on what the delay chaos actually looks like from the pointy end, and why the crews feel for the controllers as much as the passengers. Then the question Bryan keeps getting from travellers: is it safe to fly through the Gulf right now? He walks through the EASA travel recommendations and why the final call is always your own risk decision. The guys also get honest about how this podcast is changing. In a world drowning in fake news and AI-generated content, they are going deeper on fewer stories and leaning on a network of real pilots instead of headlines. The ums and ahs stay in. That is the point. Then the good stuff: Dricus dominates Usman and eyes his next fight, the Junior Boks bring home the under 20 World Cup, the SuperBru leaderboard gets a shake up, Hamilton finds form before Hungary, Oshkosh outshines Farnborough, Bryan guests on The Pilots podcast, and a charter pilot shortage plus a Gulf carrier roadshow mean real opportunities for South African pilots.

Is it safe to fly through Dubai right now? On 14 July, EASA, the regulator behind every European airline, told its operators to avoid the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE at all altitudes, until at least 29 July. Dubai International is open. Emirates is flying one of its busiest summers ever. Both of those things are true at the same time, and this episode explains how. I read the actual conflict zone bulletin word for word, unpack the one word in it that should get your attention (misidentification, the MH17 and PS752 word), separate the three things people keep mashing together (the airspace, the airport, the airlines), and walk through the real routing choices from Johannesburg to Europe. Then I give you my honest answer: what I would do flying alone, and what I am doing differently when my wife and kids are next to me. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare explains the EASA conflict zone bulletin, Dubai airspace restrictions, Gulf airspace safety, whether Dubai airport is open, why Emirates is still flying, Dubai flight cancellations, and how to reroute from Johannesburg to Europe without the Gulf. TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 The EASA warning, read word for word 01:40 Misidentification: the word that scares pilots 02:48 Why now: the 72 hours before the bulletin 03:15 Airspace, airport, airlines: three different things 04:20 Do you even need the Gulf? 04:31 Joburg to Europe: every routing option 05:24 Why airlines are reacting so differently 06:33 What avoiding the Gulf actually costs you 07:17 Flying solo vs flying with your family 09:18 The takeaway: two risk models I'm Bryan Roseveare.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update, have three stories for you this week: the FBI seizes over 600 drones at World Cup venues, DJI releases M400 Parachute, and Boom Supersonic offers a $100,000 prize for a Mach 1 RC airplane. Let's get to it.First up, the FBI has seized more than 600 drones flying in restricted airspace around FIFA World Cup 2026 venues. This is a massive number, and confiscations have been recorded in all 11 U.S. host cities since the tournament opened on June 11th. Miami leads the pack with 99 seized drones, followed by Atlanta with 77, and Dallas with 63. Operators caught inside an active World Cup Temporary Flight Restriction, or TFR, face civil fines up to $75,000, criminal fines up to $100,000, up to a year in prison, and the total loss of their aircraft. At least three men in Texas are already facing federal charges. A reminder, flight restrictions surround each stadium with a ring of 3 nautical miles up to 3,000 feet. These are active from three hours before kickoff until three hours after the match ends. There are also 1-nautical-mile rings up to 1,000 feet around fan festivals. And there are continuous restrictions over team hotels and training camps that run all the way through July 21st. Reportedly, plenty of these violators actually hold Part 107 certificates. As always, please don't be that guy who ignores the rules. Every confiscated drone becomes an exhibit for lawmakers pushing for stricter counter-drone legislation. If you are flying anywhere in the country right now, check tfr.faa.gov BEFORE you fly. Next up, DJI has released the AP100 parachute for the Matrice 400! This is a 935g parachute that mounts on the back of the M400, and slows the descent rate below 5m/s or 11mph. This allows the M400 to be C5 or C6 in EASA and UK5 or UK6 in the United Kingdom… However… The AP100 will NOT be released to the US at this time. The parachute is self contained, contains a 1 hour charge using capacitors, and has a built-in flight termination system. In addition, automatic deployment can be programmed in DJI Flight Hub in the event the aircraft breaches a geofence. The parachute will broadcast an alarm and flashing lights to assist with locating the aircraft. This is pretty cool tech, it's unfortunate that it isn't coming to the US. Finally, Boom Supersonic founder and CEO Blake Scholl has announced a $100,000 prize for the first amateur-built RC airplane to exceed Mach 1. The prize includes $50,000 in cash and $50,000 in Boom stock. Scholl posted this challenge after a college student went viral claiming his 5-kilogram carbon-fiber dorm-built jet drone could hit 500 miles per hour. But Mach 1 is a very long way from 500 miles per hour. Mach 1 at sea level is roughly 761 miles per hour. For context, the current verified record for a jet-powered RC aircraft is 465 miles per hour. Hitting Mach 1 means dealing with extreme drag and control issues and some massive regulatory hurdles. Under Part 107, we are capped at 100 miles per hour, and the AMA turbine program caps at 200 miles per hour. A legitimate attempt at this prize would require cleared airspace, and lots of approvals. It is awesome to see a major aerospace CEO channel viral engineering talent into a legitimate challenge for the hobbyist community. And the conversation continues on Post flight where we discuss these stories uncensored in the Premium Community, link is in the description. We'll see you for the live Q&A on Monday. Have a good weekend!https://dronexl.co/2026/07/05/fbi-600-drones-seized-fifa-world-cup-2026/https://dronexl.co/2026/07/02/boom-ceo-100k-prize-mach-1-amateur-rc-airplane/https://dronexl.co/2026/07/02/dji-enterprise-teaser-priceless-below-matrice-30-successor/
An airport director discusses air service and passenger growth, airport expansion, ATC impacts, and the implementation of a new RNP approach. In the news: DCA changes may increase the likelihood of helicopter-on-helicopter collisions, Collaborative Combat Aircraft airframers are selected while mission autonomy software is decoupled, Canada and the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), harmonizing FAA and EASA certification rules, and another runway near-miss. Guest Paul Bradbury is the Airport Director at the Portland Jetport in Maine. We look at Air service and passenger statistics, and Paul announces the Jetport's first seasonal transcontinental service with United to San Francisco and Los Angeles. He explains the opportunities small hub airports can realize through continued upgauging of aircraft. Paul notes that passengers have been willing to pay higher fares due to increased fuel prices. See: United Airlines Launches Nonstop Flights from SFO and LAX to Portland Maine. To address parking capacity issues, Paul is now wrapping up the design and permitting for the revised $8.6 million surface parking plan, which the Portland City Council approved in April. This has been a lengthy process, and opposition from some area residents had to be resolved. See: Portland approves $10 million Jetport parking expansion. Paul also tells us about the challenges of Air Traffic Control capacity issues and the FAA’s capping of flights. We also learn about how the Jetport worked with Flight Tech Engineering to implement a new RNP approach to PWM that keeps flights over water. This approach was published on April 16, 2026, but is just now available for assignment by PWM ATC. Aviation News Helicopter collision risk higher after D.C. airspace changes, Coast Guard leaders say Following the January 2025 midair collision, the FAA made changes to the congested airspace around Washington, D.C. But in a public Transportation Research Board (TRB) meeting, U.S. Coast Guard representatives criticized the FAA, saying the revisions may increase the risk of a serious accident between helicopters. The Air Current reports that USCG pilots suggested that “the FAA did not adequately weigh the risks of a helicopter-on-helicopter collision when moving to eliminate helicopter routes and change airspace procedures to protect against close calls between rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft.” The changes put helicopters closer together and made it harder for crews to train for proficiency. The pilots said there was an increased risk of helicopter controlled flight into terrain. In a written statement, FAA assistant administrator for communications Hannah Walden said, “Claims that these changes increased the risk of helicopter-to-helicopter collisions are not supported by the data.” She added that the FAA’s actions were guided by the National Transportation Safety Board’s emergency recommendations following the 2025 crash. The Transportation Research Board is part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The Board seeks “to anticipate and solve complex transportation-related challenges.” This is accomplished through more than 5,500 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia. The program is supported by state departments of transportation, federal agencies, and other organizations and individuals. Air Force picks General Atomics, Anduril to build first CCA drone wingmen The Air Force selected General Atomics and Anduril to build the U.S. military’s first Collaborative Combat Aircraft, beating out Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman in a re-solicited competition. The Anduril FQ-44A Furry and the General Atomics FQ-42A Dark Merlin will be fielded as production aircraft. The acquisition strategy is unique in that the Air Force is pursuing a “software sold separately” approach, in which the purchase of the airframe and the CCA’s mission autonomy software are decoupled. Anduril, RTX Collins Aerospace, and Shield AI were awarded production options for the autonomy software and will compete in a six-month head-to-head round. A primary autonomy provider is expected to be named by summer 2027. Canada Throws A Curveball As It Signals Interest In Joining GCAP Sixth-Gen Fighter Program In a Tokyo meeting, David McGuinty, the Minister of National Defense of Canada, said he is “interested in learning more about” the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). That next-generation fighter program is a joint venture with BAE Systems (UK), Leonardo (Italy), and Japan Aircraft Industrial Enhancement Co Ltd (JAIEC). Each holds a one-third share in Edgewing. The Tempest is a crewed fighter with a targeted service date of 2035. A demonstrator is currently underway with BAE Systems in the UK. McGuinty said, “I'll take it back to my team and see what it looks like.” The speculation is that Canada could join the GCAP program with “observer status.” FAA Proposes to Speed New Commercial Aircraft Certifications The FAA recently proposed changes to modernize and harmonize commercial aircraft certification rules with EASA. The proposal would provide consistent requirements and reduce the cost, time, and complexity of certifications. This would streamline certification and benefit manufacturers. Aircraft Certification: Comparison of U.S. and European Processes for Approving New Designs of Commercial Transport Airplanes The U.S. Government Accountability Office issued GAO-22-104480 on June 30, 2022. The study directly compared FAA and EASA certification processes and found a significant asymmetry that harmonization could eliminate in the wrong direction. EASA uses a risk-based approach to evaluate compliance findings and reviews the technical basis for compliance determinations, including oversight of all aspects of the airplane’s design. The FAA, by contrast, reviews the completeness of certification packages and compliance determinations in high-risk areas, but this review does not customarily include an independent review of the technical basis for compliance determinations. American Airlines flight aborts takeoff in Miami after business jet enters the same runway After American Airlines Flight 308 bound for Bermuda received takeoff clearance at Miami, the flight crew observed NetJets Flight EJA434 entering the same runway and aborted their takeoff. Addressing the NetJets plane, the controller said, “You just crossed an active runway.” The pilot responded, “You just told me to cross the runway, sir.” The controller said, “No, we said Amerijet 461.” National Air and Space Museum Celebrates 50 Years With Opening of Five New Galleries Hillel attended the National Air & Space Museum media preview for the opening of the five new galleries. He recorded the opening remarks by Christopher Browne, the John and Adrienne Mars Director of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. Chris joined the museum as deputy director in 2017 and served as acting director from 2021 to 2022, when he was named director. Hillel also interviewed Carolyn Russo, the curator of the art and trophy collections and the temporary curator of the poster collection. She has over 30 years of experience at the Museum, and is the author of four books: Art of the Airport Tower (Washington, DC: Smithsonian Books, 2015), In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight (New York: powerHouse Books, 2007), Artifacts of Flight (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2003), and Women and Flight: Portraits of Contemporary Women Pilots (Boston, New York, London: Bulfinch Press, 1997). Mentioned Cirrus announced the opening of its Duluth Talent Center, a multi-million-dollar investment that serves as a hub for community engagement, recruiting, and workforce development. Designed to connect individuals with careers in aerospace, the Talent Center provides direct access to recruiting, technical training, and career development resources in one centralized location.

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Career intelligence for pilots. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck. We translate them first. No corporate spin. Just the intelligence pilots actually need. This week is a tale of two stories, and if you are a South African pilot sitting in a Gulf hold pool you have to decide which one is true. Story one is the barrel: Iran put drones into Kuwait International days after it reopened, EASA still says do not overfly Iran, Iraq or Lebanon, and BA has pulled most of the Middle East until October. Story two is the window: the UAE has declared its airspace normal, Emirates is back to three quarters of its flying, Qatar rebuilds past 150 destinations from 16 June, and the recruitment roadshows are still running. We get into why your start date keeps slipping, why you should not resign before you have a firm date, and where the work is right now if you are stuck waiting. So which is it, the barrel or the window? In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock break down the Gulf hiring delays hitting South African pilots, the Middle East recovery timeline carrier by carrier, and the hidden contract and charter opportunities back home. TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Tale of two stories: barrel or window 01:55 The uncertainty pilots are actually living with 04:33 Roadshows still running and what that signals 08:14 Why your Gulf start date keeps slipping 09:33 Do not resign before you have a firm date 11:39 International market update and European Air Cargo collapse 12:26 The hidden contract jobs nobody talks about 17:19 Charter flying: the reality check at this stage of a career 20:35 Aviation news roundup begins 22:42 Middle East flight updates and the Kuwait strike 23:11 Champions League and the Emirates versus Qatar shirt war 24:27 World Cup SuperBrew plans 25:03 Bafana visa chaos at the airport 27:14 China stalls Airbus to clear the runway for COMAC 28:16 Qantas Project Sunrise takes its first test flight 29:04 Pilot shoutouts and fresh hires 30:35 Air Europa launches Madrid to Johannesburg 31:28 Captains Announcement: the wearable AI surveillance threat 37:24 F1 leaderboard and signoff JOIN THE BRYAN AIR COMMUNITY Bryan Air is a career intelligence ecosystem for pilots.

In this special episode for the Raising the Aviation Bar podcast recorded at Airspace World in Lisbon, Elisabeth Landrichter, Executive Manager of Austro Control, Áron Eichinger, Director Area Control at HungaroControl, Francesco Gaetani, Flight Standards Director at EASA, and Simon Hocquard, Director General at CANSO give their take on some of the most relevant air traffic management developments and updates from Airspace World. All interviews were recorded at the podcast booth EUROCONTROL set up in cooperation with the eight other Europe For Aviation partners at Airspace World 2026 reflecting the value of bringing partners together at one of the leading global air traffic management events.
Our kick-off panel at Aerial Cities 2025 set the perfect tone for our C-level, invite-only event where industry experts discussed the future of #drones and #UrbanAirMobility, and all its nuances. Held inside Dublin's historic City Hall, our first panellists at last year's #AerialCities discussed Navigating Urban Skies and Aerial Cities: Emerging Trends and Evolutions.Moderated by Lorenzo Murzilli, Co-founder and CEO of Murzilli Consulting, the conversation featured:• Thomas Curran, Head of Survey & Mapping, Dublin City Council• Enda Walsh, UAS Manager, Irish Aviation Authority• Magdalena Szymańska, Deputy Manager of the Active Mobility Unit, Municipal Transport Authority, Gdańsk• Natale Di Rubbo, Drone Project Manager, EASATogether, they offered one of the clearest snapshots yet of how Europe is progressing on airspace integration, public acceptance, and regulatory readiness for BVLOS drone operations.Key insights from the session:• Europe's biggest bottleneck remains air risk. While SORA's ground risk is settled, scalable Detect‑and‑Avoid capabilities are still missing.• The #EASA is shifting toward practical enablement, collecting best practices and rolling out tools like digital eSORA to simplify approvals.• Ireland's new National Policy Framework shows a major step toward structured U‑Space deployment and the scaling of BVLOS drone operations.• Cities like Dublin and Gdańsk are actively preparing staff, engaging residents, mapping use cases, and integrating drones into daily operations.• Public acceptance is now, more than ever, a core enabler.If you want to be part of Aerial Cities 2026, click here for speaking, attendance and sponsorship options: https://aerialcities.dronetalks.online/
Send us Fan MailWelcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, recorded live at European Rotors 2025 in Cologne, host Halsey Schider sits down with helicopter pilot and author Simon Whitinger for a wide-ranging discussion about operations, training, and knowledge sharing in the helicopter community.The conversation opens with Simon's flight training and career pathways, including Simon's flight training experiences in Canada, the challenges of transitioning to EASA certification, and the crucial role that networking and industry events like European Rotors play in building professional connections across the helicopter community.They then turn to Simon's experience flying in Greenland, where helicopters often serve as essential transportation between remote villages, support medevacs, and connect people across challenging terrain. Halsey and Simon explore how these real-world operations shape a pilot's decision-making and perspective.Finally, they focus on Simon's Mountain Flying Handbook, a resource developed to address the gap in structured safety knowledge around mountain operations. Drawing on decades of experience in mountainous environments, Simon explains why hazards such as whiteout and unmarked cables remain leading contributors to accidents, and how pilots can prepare to recognize and mitigate these risks.Buy Simon's book, The Mountain Flying Handbook.

In this episode, we speak with Martina Di Palma and Achilleas Achilleos, Sustainable Aviation Officer and Strategic Programs Officer respectively at the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). They discuss:Why existing CO2 calculators fall short: How today's flight emissions tools rely on estimates rather than actual fuel burn data.The regulatory foundation: How the Flight Emissions Label (FEL) sits within Article 14 of the RefuelEU Aviation regulation, and why EASA is confident the scheme is here to stay regardless of whether it becomes mandatory.The first-mover dilemma: Why some airlines pushed back against early adoption of the FEL, what the genuine commercial risks of being first are.SAF integration as an incentive mechanism: How the label discounts CO2 emissions based on SAF use, why this creates a direct reputational and financial incentive for airlines to increase SAF uptake, and how EASA is working with airlines including Air France KLM to optimise SAF accounting within the label.Label 2 and the road ahead: What the next phase of development could include, and why EASA has made its flight emissions calculator open-source in the hope that other regions will adopt a similar standard.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Rachel Gardner-Poole from NATS, who shares how GAIN (Green Aviation Insights Network) is bringing together air navigation service providers from around the world to optimise flight paths and reduce emissions.

Podcast: Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio) (LS 47 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: OT Security/business resilience, lack of incentives for securing software & the news - Ben Worthy - ESW #448Pub date: 2026-03-02Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationInterview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time. This segment is sponsored by Airbus Protect. Visit https://securityweekly.com/airbusprotect to learn more about them! Topic: Where are the business incentives to build secure products and software? "It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much.

Marketing im Kopf - ein Podcast von Luis BinderIn dieser Folge wird über verschiedene Unternehmen gesprochen, da Markennamen genannt werden, handelt es sich um UNBEZAHLTE WERBUNG!In dieser Folge: In der heutigen Podcastfolge von Marketing im Kopf starten wir mit dem Thema Relationship Marketing. Es geht darum, warum sich Marketing grundlegend verändert hat und warum klassische Werbung immer schlechter wirkt. Es geht darum, warum Kundinnen und Kunden schneller zwischen Marken wechseln, warum deshalb die Kundenbeziehung in den Mittelpunkt rückt und warum es nicht mehr reicht einfach nur neue Kunden zu gewinnen. ____________________________________________Marketing-News der Woche:Werbung neben News ist nicht automatisch brand-unsafeDie Deutschland-Auswertung der Stagwell-Studie sieht bei Ads neben News eine ähnlich hohe Kaufabsicht wie neben Sport oder Unterhaltung. Fürs Marketing ist das eine Einladung, Brand Safety stärker über Medienqualität, Kontext und passende Kreation zu steuern.Facebook stellt Social Plugins ein (Like, Share, Login)Meta beendet die klassischen Facebook Social Plugins im Februar 2026. Website-Buttons, Social Login und Teile des Trackings müssen ersetzt oder neu gedacht werden, am besten sauber über First-Party-Daten, CRM und klare Consent-Flows.Social Proof auf TikTok: Traditionsmarke schlägt HypeEin Social-Media-Check zeigt, wie stark Doppelherz auf TikTok performt. Das Learning ist simpel: Nicht „jung wirken“ gewinnt, sondern klare Content-Formate, Wiedererkennbarkeit und Produktnutzen, der in 2 Sekunden verstanden wird. TikTok tritt der EASA bei (Werbe-Standards, Consumer Trust)TikTok wird Vollmitglied der European Advertising Standards Alliance. Was auch mehr Druck Richtung transparente Werbekennzeichnung, strengere Regeln für Creator-Ads und weniger Spielraum bei Grauzonen bedeutet.____________________________________________Vernetz dich gerne auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luisbinder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marketingimkopf/Du hast Fragen, Anregungen oder Ideen?

In this episode we sit down with Koen De Vos, Secretary General of GUTMA, to unpack why U-Space still feels more aspirational than operational, and what aviation can learn from industries that have at least partially managed to digitize at scale. Drawing on parallels with the automotive sector, Koen explores how green technologies, automation, and system-level thinking could, and should, reshape aviation if the institutional and political pieces ever align.We dive into why U-Space has not meaningfully materialized in Europe yet, the evolving role of regulators like EASA, and how European and US approaches to UTM diverge in both philosophy and execution. Koen also shares his perspective on air risk mitigation, whether U-Space is being used as a safety crutch, and perhaps most provocatively, who is actually willing to pay for UTM and why many business cases quietly fall apart. A clear-eyed conversation about political will, practical constraints, and what UTM might look like if we were brave enough to start from scratch.

Autonomy may scale in agriculture long before it does in defense or UAM, and today's guest makes a compelling case why. We speak with Edward Barraclough, founder and CEO of Drone-Hand, about applying autonomous drones and on-device AI to the realities of livestock operations across Australia, New Zealand, North America, and beyond.Edward explains why ranching is the perfect proving ground for autonomy: massive land areas, urgent labor shortages, permissive operating environments, and ROI that's measured in days - not years. We explore how drones are already replacing helicopters on million-acre cattle stations, why biological data creates one of the deepest moats in autonomy, the role of trust and repeatability for producers, and how CASA's regulatory evolution compares to FAA and EASA. It's a rare look at autonomy where economics, biology, and geography collide.
En esta entrevista, el capitán Juan Esteban Villa, presidente de la Asociación Colombiana de Aviadores Civiles, explica la reciente directiva de aeronavegabilidad emitida por EASA tras un incidente con un Airbus A320 de JetBlue. Se requiere que 6,400 aeronaves de este modelo realicen una actualización de software para corregir vulnerabilidades relacionadas con la radiación solar que afecta los sistemas de control de vuelo. Villa destaca la importancia de la seguridad aérea y la responsabilidad de las aerolíneas en cumplir con estas directrices. Además, se discuten los tiempos de modificación y el impacto en los vuelos, enfatizando que es preferible estar en tierra que volar con problemas. Esta conversación es crucial para entender cómo la tecnología y la seguridad se entrelazan en la aviación moderna.

In this episode we're joined by Julie Garland, CEO of Avtrain, for a deep dive into the current state of the drone industry and regulation across Europe. Julie shares her perspective on why societal acceptance is just as critical as regulatory approval. We explore how operators like Manna are working to normalize drone activity and influence regulations, and why simplifying regulatory frameworks, including the SORA process, is essential to enable broader adoption of drone operations.The conversation also sheds light on the limited number of authorized SAIL III operations across EASA member states and the challenges operators face in meeting technical validation requirements, often by building their own aircraft. Julie walks us through promising commercial use cases, from consumer delivery to infrastructure inspection to airport operations, and outlines how digitization and standardization could unlock more scalable, efficient drone deployments.
Max Trescott takes listeners inside the cockpit of the future in episode 390, as he shares his firsthand experience flying the fully electric Bristell B23 Energic trainer and talks with executives from H55, the Swiss company behind its electric propulsion system. This in-depth episode explores the technical, operational, and strategic aspects of electric flight training aircraft. The B23 Energic is a joint project between Czech aircraft manufacturer BRM Aero and H55, the latter founded by the team behind the Solar Impulse aircraft that flew around the world on solar power. Max discusses how H55 is focusing on producing electric propulsion systems—batteries, controllers, and motors—for aircraft manufacturers, rather than building entire aircraft themselves. This modular approach is designed to speed up certification and lower development costs. H55 CEO Martin Larose shares how the company is involved in several projects worldwide, including with CAE to retrofit Piper Archers, Harbour Air to electrify floatplanes, and Pratt & Whitney on a hybrid Dash 8-400. He also explains H55's plan to manufacture battery systems in both Switzerland and Montreal to serve global markets while avoiding costly and complex battery transport logistics. Max's test flight takes place at Palo Alto Airport, where the B23 Energic was on a U.S. tour. He notes the aircraft's similarities to the Piper Sport Cruiser in handling and design, due to a shared designer. The electric version offers about 60 minutes of flight time and a 10-minute reserve, although U.S. FAA rules would require a 30-minute reserve, limiting U.S. endurance to 40 minutes unless additional batteries are added. The aircraft uses NCA lithium-ion batteries and features a liquid-cooled motor and controller, but air-cooled batteries to keep things simple. While the plane's payload is about 73 pounds less than its piston counterpart, it offers dramatically lower operating costs—estimated at $8–9 per hour for electricity versus $50+ per hour in fuel and oil for conventional trainers. The certification process, especially in Europe under EASA, remains H55's biggest challenge, with 90% of company resources dedicated to achieving approval. The motor is built by Equipmake in the UK to H55's design and features dual windings for redundancy—ensuring safe single-failure tolerance. Max also interviews Laurent, the demo pilot, and Céline, a project engineer, learning about how H55 built hundreds of hours of bench testing before the aircraft even flew. Their insights underscore the care and rigorous engineering that go into preparing electric aircraft for real-world flight training environments. In-flight, Max describes the aircraft as well-balanced and intuitive, with a quiet cabin that enhances concentration—an important advantage for student pilots. He praises the center stick control, wide cabin, and visibility. The landing was smooth and predictable, and energy use during the short flight was minimal—about 6 kWh for a pattern and 360 turn. Finally, Max reflects on how quickly the electric nature of the aircraft faded into the background during flight—exactly what H55 wants. The B23 Energic is expected to launch in Europe in 2026 and U.S. in 2027, with a price of $431,000 for early buyers and $500,000 later. It will be certified for Day VFR only, making it a strong candidate for cost-effective flight training.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop III talks with Bobby Healy, CEO and co-founder of Manna Drone Delivery, about the evolving frontier where the digital meets the physical—specifically, the promise and challenges of autonomous drone logistics. They explore how regulatory landscapes are shaping the pace of drone delivery adoption globally, why Europe is ahead of the U.S., and what it takes to build scalable infrastructure for airborne logistics. The conversation also touches on the future of aerial mobility, the implications of automation for local commerce, and the philosophical impacts of deflationary technologies. For more about Bobby and Manna, visit mana.aero or follow Bobby on Twitter at @RealBobbyHealy.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop introduces Bobby Healy and opens with the promise vs. reality of drone tech; Healy critiques early overpromising and sets the stage for today's tech maturity.05:00 – Deep dive into FAA vs. EASA regulation, highlighting the regulatory bottleneck in the U.S. and the agility of the EU's centralized model.10:00 – Comparison of airspace complexity between the U.S. and Europe; Healy explains why drone scaling is easier in the EU's less crowded sky.15:00 – Discussion of urban vs. suburban deployment, the ground risk challenge, and why automated (not fully autonomous) operations are still standard.20:00 – Exploration of pilot oversight, the role of remote monitoring, and how the system is already profitable per flight.25:00 – LLMs and vibe coding accelerate software iteration; Healy praises AI-powered development, calling it transformative for engineers and founders.30:00 – Emphasis on local delivery revolution; small businesses are beating Amazon with ultra-fast drone drop-offs.35:00 – Touches on Latin America's opportunity, Argentina's regulatory climate, and localized drone startups.40:00 – Clarifies noise and privacy concerns; drone presence is minimal and often unnoticed, especially in suburbs.45:00 – Final thoughts on airspace utilization, ground robots, and the deflationary effect of drone logistics on global commerce.Key InsightsDrone Delivery's Real Bottleneck is Regulation, Not Technology: While drone delivery technology has matured significantly—with off-the-shelf components now industrial-grade and reliable—the real constraint is regulatory. Bobby Healy emphasizes that in the U.S., drone delivery is several years behind Europe, not due to a lack of technological readiness, but because of a slower-moving and more complex regulatory environment governed by the FAA. In contrast, Europe benefits from a nimble, centralized aviation regulator (EASA), which has enabled faster deployment by treating regulation as the foundational "product" that allows the industry to launch.The U.S. Airspace is Inherently More Complex: Healy draws attention to the density and fragmentation of U.S. airspace as a major challenge. From private planes to hobbyist aircraft and military operations, the sheer volume and variety of stakeholders complicate the regulatory path. Even though the FAA has created a solid framework (e.g., Part 108), implementing and scaling it across such a vast and fragmented system is slow. This puts the U.S. at a disadvantage, even though it holds the largest market potential for drone delivery.Drone Logistics is Already Economically Viable at a Small Scale: Unlike many emerging technologies, drone delivery is already profitable on a per-flight basis. Healy notes that Manna's drones, operating primarily in suburban areas, achieve unit economics that allow them to scale without needing to replace human pilots yet. These remote pilots still play a role for oversight and legal compliance, but full autonomy is technically ready and likely to be adopted within a few years. This puts Manna ahead of competitors, including some well-funded giants.Suburban and Rural Areas Will Benefit Most from Drone Delivery First: The initial commercial impact of drone delivery is strongest in high-density suburban regions where traditional logistics are inefficient. These environments allow for easy takeoff and landing without the spatial constraints of dense urban cores. Healy explains that rooftops, parking lots, and small-scale launch zones can already support dozens of flights per hour. Over time, this infrastructure could rebalance urban and rural economies by enabling local producers and retailers to compete effectively with large logistics giants.Drone Logistics Will Redefine Local Commerce: One of the most compelling outcomes discussed is how drone delivery changes the playing field for small, local businesses. Healy shares an example of a local Irish bookstore now beating Amazon on delivery speed thanks to Manna's platform. With a six-minute turnaround from purchase to backyard delivery, drone logistics could dramatically lower barriers to entry for small businesses, giving them access to modern fulfillment without needing massive infrastructure.Massive Deflation in Logistics Could Lead to Broader Economic Shifts: Healy argues that drone delivery, like AI, will drive a deflationary wave across sectors. By reducing the marginal cost of transportation to near zero, this technology could increase consumption and economic activity while also creating new jobs and opportunities in non-urban areas. This shift resembles the broad societal transformation brought on by the spread of electricity in the early 20th century—ubiquitous, enabling, and invisible.Drones Could Transform Defense Strategy Through “Mutually Assured Defense”: In a thought-provoking segment, Healy discusses how cheap, scalable drone technology might shift the geopolitical landscape. Instead of focusing solely on destruction, drones could enable countries to build robust “defense clouds” over their borders—creating a deterrent similar to nuclear weapons but more accessible and less catastrophic. He proposes that wide-scale deployment of autonomous defensive drones could prevent conflicts by making invasion logistically impossible.

Send us a textNach massiver Kritik und Drohungen treuer Vielflieger, zu anderen Airlines zu wechseln, hat British Airways seine umstrittenen Änderungen am Vielfliegerprogramm teilweise zurückgenommen. Die hohen Umsatzanforderungen für den Elite-Status werden entschärft, und eine neue Bonus-Tier-Point-Aktion soll Passagiere besänftigen. Zudem bleibt der Statusaufstieg über geflogene Strecken erhalten. Trotz der Anpassungen hält British Airways an der grundsätzlichen Umstellung fest, will aber kundenfreundlicher agieren. War der Druck der treuen Vielflieger zu groß?
Air Tanzania, has been added to the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) list of airlines that have been restricted from operating within the European Union. So what are the shortcomings? We sought answers from an aerospace expert. Did you know that South Africa's unique succulent plants are under threat from poachers? We have a first-hand account from our correspondent who has been to the remote biodiversity hotspot that has become the hub of an illegal trade. And new research, that included delving into the Vatican archives, has revealed how an Angolan prince, became a key figure in the fight against the trans-Atlantic slave trade, a century before its abolition.Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Rob Wilson, Bella Hassan and Stefania Okereke in London Senior Producer: Patricia Whitehorne Technical Producer: Francesca Dunne Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi
