On this week’s episode of AvTalk, a Bering Air Cessna 208 crashes near Nome, Alaska. Updates on the mid-air collision in Washington DC and what airspace changes may become permanent. New propulsion technology projects from major manufacturers are being pushed back 5-10 years. And we share the recipe for the ultimate inflight desert.

Yes yes yes
Just FYI, the velocity and altitude ceilings on gps are purely statutory. IANAL, but I think they come in through the ITAR regulations. I recently retired from JPL where, among other things, I worked in the GPS receiver group. We have been flying GPS in low earth orbit (~6 km/s & 750 km) since the early 90s, and it works great.
I so enjoy your banter! Your delivery is so smooth, no pregnant pauses such as ah, um, um. Although “ each and every “ goes back to the 1920’s. Grammatically speaking, either use the word each or use the word every, don’t use the two words together.
You will be Toastmasters before long, lol.
“New propulsion technology projects from major manufacturers are being pushed back 5-10 years”. As in terrestrial transportation the question for air transportation. Have the last best vehicles for the next 50 years already been produced? As a “grumpy old” engineer I think they well have been. 5-10 will be stretched to 50 in 5 years. Look at the 777X for proof: there is only a 50;50 chance that that plane will ever become reliable enough for Emirates (for example of an airline that stays on top of technology).
