Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: FAA Synthetic Vision
Workshop
Synthetic Vision is a cockpit application designed to give
pilots a display of surrounding terrain an draw a "highway in the
sky" on their instrument panels. The FAA has been holding workshops
on Synthtic Vision Design Certification for some time, and recently
updated its presentation information on its website. Titled
"Synthetic Vision Technology Familiarization and Issue
Identification for Synthetic Vision System (SVS) Certifications,"
the workshop goals are to provide FAA a common source for
understanding of SVS state of the art and near-term range of
implementations of computer generated (synthetic) perspective
displays for civil aircraft, review areas of concern (potential
certification issues) associated with this technology, and the
basis for those concernsc conduct an open discussion with industry
to communicate FAA concerns and consider their implications and
possible ways to resolve them, and identify desirable future
courses of action, including need for industry standards and
research data.
