Just like in the early years of commercial aviation, when aircraft became larger, faster, and more advanced, as with the launch of the first Boeing 747 in 1969 and its debut in 1970 with PAN AM, the first flight of the A300, or the iconic Concorde, today we are witnessing a new conquest of the […]

When we think about the aviation industry, the image that often comes to mind is that of a pilot in the cockpit or a flight attendant giving safety instructions. However, behind every successful flight lies a complex and coordinated network of professionals who, though not always visible to passengers and without holding aeronautical licenses, are

Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) is a modern aviation concept that utilizes advanced navigation systems to guide aircraft more precisely and efficiently. Unlike traditional methods that rely on fixed routes and ground-based aids, PBN allows aircraft to follow more flexible and direct paths, optimizing airspace use and enhancing operational efficiency. PBN is implemented through two main

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) is a fundamental concept in modern aviation. It refers to the reduction of the required vertical separation between two aircraft, decreasing from the traditional 2,000 feet (600 meters) to 1,000 feet (300 meters) in specific segments of airspace—specifically between flight levels FL290 and FL410 (29,000 to 41,000 feet). Origins and
