We are on the precipice of a new battleground, one invisible to the naked eye yet alarmingly present in its potential to disrupt the very foundation of global transportation—spoofing attacks on aircraft navigation systems. Spoofing, often confused with jamming, poses a far more insidious

This quick, concise and anonymous online survey is the opportunity for European pilots to rate their airlines and determine where they sit on the social/unsocial scale. Pilots will be asked to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a number of questions on the use of atypical employment models,

Are you able to schedule all your physiological breaks while piloting an airplane? Though this question may bring a few chuckles, it highlights the absurdity of eMCO quite well. Despite this, Airbus and Dassault are pushing for eMCO approval from EASA, even if it means implementing

European pilots and cabin crew feel strongly that flight safety is no longer the primary concern of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and of some industry stakeholders. In a compelling new documentary, aviation professionals express their fears and profound disappointment with the
