Nueva escuela de TCPs en Madrid, Aviation Group

Nota de prensa:

Nace Aviation Group como empresa de formación de Tripulantes de Cabina de Pasajeros

El centro cuenta con un simulador de cabina de A320 y es el único en España con un simulador de fuego real.
La compañía Norwegian Airlines elige a Aviation Group como centro formador oficial para sus tripulaciones.

Madrid, 19 de enero de 2016. De la unión de Intercopters, Cithe y Aerodynamics nace Aviation Group, empresa de formación de tripulantes de cabina de pasajeros de líneas aéreas. La compañía, a la vanguardia de la formación de auxiliares de vuelo en Europa, ubica sus aulas e instalaciones en los hangares anejos al aeropuerto de Cuatro Vientos.

Los simuladores, Airbus (simulador de A-320) y Boeing (simulador de B-737), creados a escala real para recrear todas las situaciones de emergencias que puedan ocurrir en vuelo, son contratados por las empresas más punteras en el sector aeronáutico. El elemento diferenciador, que convierte a Aviation group en pionero en España, es el simulador aeronáutico de fuego que respeta todas las exigencias legales para la simulación de fuego real. Asimismo, el material para la extinción también es el reglamentario exigido por ley.

Los alumnos pueden escoger entre tres niveles de formación, desde el más básico, pasando por el que incluye inglés aeronáutico hasta el curso Platinum con la especialidad de aviación ejecutiva y seguimiento laboral.Todos los cursos de TCP están homologados y se adaptan fielmente al programa establecido por la Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA), cumpliendo así la normativa europea dictaminada por la Agencia Europea de Seguridad Aérea (EASA).

Aviation Group de esta forma da un paso hacia adelante en la formación e instrucción de TCPs ofreciendo unas instalaciones y formación exclusiva tanto para particulares como para las formaciones de refresco del personal de las distintas líneas aéreas tanto nacionales como internacionales. Así pues, Norwegian Airlines se convierte en uno de los principales clientes del grupo como centro oficial de formación para sus tripulaciones.

Both airplane wings and helicopter rotor blades are subject to one problem – they can both ice up. Although de-icing solutions can be applied when aircraft are on the ground, that doesn't stop ice from eventually forming once they're in the air. That's why scientists at Texas' Rice University have developed a new graphene-based coating that continuously melts ice by conducting an electrical current.

Crash-proof drone put to the test in jagged glacial crevasses [feedly]

Crash-proof drone put to the test in jagged glacial crevasses
http://www.gizmag.com/crash-proof-drone-crevasses/41536/

Early last year a team of Swiss technologists was awarded US$1 million in prize money for a crash-proof drone designed to maneuver through confined spaces. With drones that detect landmines, replant forests and service slums to contend with, the Gimball rose above its competing entries to take out first prize in the United Arab Emirates' Drones for Good competition. Now the drone's real-world durability and potential as a life-saving search and rescue aid have been put to the test in deep the crevasses of the Swiss Alps.
