Aero-TV: Opening Sessions At NBAA 2009 -- Part 2, Rich Karlgaard

Tue, 27 October 2009 .

Business Aviation Comes Together In Orlando, FL

With the end of the 2009 NBAA Convention, the BizAv community has had a chance to take stock of the year that has passed and evaluate their future prospects. While attendance and participation were obviously at lower levels than in year's past, the community showed that it is willing to do what it must to survive, and is seeking new opportunities and business venues as aggressive as the current economic climate allows.

This year's NBAA Opening Session featured four primary speakers... each with something to say that had an impact on the BizAv community. This year's roster included FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt; Forbes magazine publisher Rich Karlgaard; Tom Buffenbarger, president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers; and Golfer and Business Aviation Advocate Arnold Palmer.

Of course, the issue on everyone's mind was the economy... and who better than the Publisher of Forbes, a pilot himself, to talk about that issue and the hopes of a recovery. Rich Karlgaard, who flies a Cirrus for business purposes, compared the current recession to the one of 1973–1974, he suggested that the recovery from the current economic malaise could be similar to the recovery of the mid-1970s, which was characterized by inflation, stagflation and a jobless recovery.

However, Karlgaard said there could be good news: Recessions tend to weed out weak competitors, and the 1970s were notable for the emergence of entrepreneurial companies such as Microsoft, FedEx and Southwest Airlines. Plus, he thinks that the global growth that continues today in places such as China, Brazil and India is "not going to stop. There is plenty of reason to be hopeful," he concluded.

Aero-TV: Making Progress -- Eclipse Aerospace Shows Great Potential

The Little Jet That "Almost Succeeded" May Still Be A Winner

All things old may be new again... and that seems to include one of our favorite little jet aircraft, the uncommonly thrifty Eclipse 500. Known initially as the world’s first "Very Light Jet," the Eclipse 500 light twinjet can cruise at speeds of 425 miles per hour, and travel over 1,100 non-stop nautical miles -- all the while consuming as little as 48 gallons per hour (total)! The Eclipse 500 continues to be recognized as the world’s most efficient light jet, while generating the least emissions of any twinjet flying. And that's not idle boasting, its verifiable fact.

Aero-TV: A Digital Attitude Upgrade -- Avidyne Delivers First Autopilot Product

Truly Revolutionary Autopilot NOW Shipping

While covering this year's Cirrus Pilot's and Owner's Association Convention was a GREAT way to spend time, getting the news that Avidyne had certified the revolutionary new DFC90 digital autopilot pretty much took top honors. Avidyne received the STC and TSO authorization for the installation of the DFC90 digital autopilot in Cirrus SR20 and SR22 airplanes on June 18th, 2010, while Avidyne's Tom Harper called this development "The start of a new era for Avidyne."

Aero-TV: Third Times A Charm -- Ingraham High School's 'Educated Pyros'

Science, Technology, Perseverance... and FUN!

One of our favorite stories at TARC 2010 unfolded before our cameras as we watched a high school team hit a bad run of luck... one misfire... then another... followed by a last minute (literally) launch that occurred right before the deadline that would have disqualified them from the competition. We were thrilled with their perseverance, their grace under pressure and the fact that even when the pressure was on, they were having fun. The members of the Ingraham High School's 'Educated Pyros' impressed the heck out of us.

Aero-TV: Piece Of Cake -- Chef Duff Goldman Visits TARC 2010

There's More Than One Way To (Launch) A Cake...

As you can plainly see from the other Aero-TV pieces that have been webcast recently, we certainly had a great time at TARC 2010. But... one of the most unusual aspects of TARC was its ability to draw all kinds of people together... like a famous chef, some cake ingredients and a high-speed delivery system. 'Ace of Cakes' Duff Goldman not only visited TARC, he launched a cake at TARC and you had to be there to understand what exquisite insanity this was... but for those of you who didn't make it, Aero-TV will show you what we mean.

Aero-TV At Oshkosh 2010- Looking Back At Day Two

This is Aero TV's Daily Update on EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for Tuesday, July 27th.

USA Today, which for whatever reason now has a standing policy of talking down general aviation, was out yesterday with a cheap shot at EAA AirVenture. Tuesday's story on page 3A appeared under a subhead that reads, "Air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin has history of fatal crashes. The writer, Alan Levin, did acknowledge that the fatals to which he referred did not involve the airshow at Oshkosh, and that most involved obvious pilot mistakes, and many weren't even in the area.
