AINonline
Universal Avionics has added the Hawker 800XP to the airframe installations list for its InSight integrated flight deck. The STC for this InSight upgrade was done by Redimec, a Universal Avionics-authorized dealer based in Argentina; Redimec is making the STC available for purchase by other dealers for 800XP upgrades. While Argentina regulator DGAC approved the original STC, it can be converted to a U.S. STC, according to Robert Randall, Universal Avionics director of strategic business development.

A year of aircraft transitions?
Aviation Week
Although overall MRO demand is expected to remain depressed this year, one bright spot may be an uptick in lease-end and transition checks and modifications as aircraft are rejected by lessees and move between operators.
This is currently in evidence in Shannon, Ireland, where Norwegian is flying its 787s for checks ahead of return to lessors as the airline pursues a restructuring plan to cut all long-haul and widebody flying.

Would you fly more if it cost less?
General Aviation News
Learning to fly was a challenge. That was true for Orville and Wilbur, Bob Hoover, Sean Tucker, and you. It's a fact of life.
Developing the skill to guide a heavier than air machine off the ground, control it with confidence and precision in flight, then put it back on the ground in one piece does not come easily to any of us.
If you're reading this, the odds are good you've accepted that challenge. Congratulations.
