At UIS Tooling & Technologies, we applaud the pioneering spirit of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) and Gravity Industries! Their trial with jet pack-equipped paramedics is not just a futuristic gimmick, it's a powerful symbol of innovation's potential to save lives and redefine what's possible in emergency response. Imagine this: a hiker collapses on a remote mountain peak. Instead of hours of arduous climb, a paramedic arrives in minutes, soaring through the air like a guardian angel. That's the promise of jet pack technology, and it's one that sends shivers of excitement down our spine. We couldn't agree more with GNAAS's vision. Innovation isn't just about bells and whistles; it's about making the impossible possible, simplifying the complex, and ultimately, creating a better world. When technology can shave precious minutes off response times in treacherous terrain, it's not just a feat of engineering – it's a potential lifesaver. And let's not forget the human element. Jamie Walsh, mastering this technology in just six days, showcases the incredible adaptability and dedication of our first responders. They're the ones pushing the boundaries, embracing uncharted territory to make a difference. The challenges are clear: communication, navigation, and wide-scale deployment. But let's be honest, aren't those the exciting parts? These hurdles are mere speed bumps on the road to revolutionizing emergency care. So, we wholeheartedly commend GNAAS and Gravity for their audacious vision. This isn't just about jet packs; it's about the unwavering human spirit that dares to dream and the limitless potential of innovation to save lives. We can't wait to see how this story unfolds, and we urge everyone to embrace this leap into the future of emergency response! #innovation #entrepreneur #utilityindustry

Air Ambulance charities are often asked: Do you need to get permission from Air Traffic Control to land? 🚁 This is not a common occurrence! However, when pilots are landing in proximity to an airport or airfield, they may require permission from Air Traffic Control. As a HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) aircraft, air ambulances benefit from numerous exemptions, enabling them to land in areas where other aircrafts are restricted. #didyouknow #AirAmbulancesUK #AirAmbulances

Big shoutout to Oleksandr Zhmurko from UAPP for pitching in for the Special Operations Forces equipment fund! Thanks for backing us up – it means a lot. We're getting closer to that 100k goal because of you! Every bit helps, and your donations are seriously making a difference. Anyone else who wants to chip in, here's where you can: https://lnkd.in/eG8wTM6t ---- My close friend serves in the Special Operations Forces (SOF). They operate in extremely challenging conditions, often beyond the usual limits. SOF works covertly, often without official acknowledgment. Their missions vary widely, including sabotage, reconnaissance, rescue operations, and direct engagement with enemy forces. Currently, there's an urgent need for advanced drone equipment. The existing drones, limited to a range of 3-5 km, fall short of the demands of SOF missions. The standard equipment supplied is simply not up to the task, often failing to reach intended targets. To address this gap, they're now raising funds independently to secure the necessary equipment. I would be grateful for any help. Monobank jar: https://lnkd.in/eG8wTM6t

CAHF is thrilled to share insights from #InductedMember Kathy Fox. 1. Can you share a memorable moment from your aviation career that had a significant impact on your life and work? Being appointed to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada - Bureau de la sécurité des transports du Canada, first as a Board Member (2007) and then as Chair/CEO (2014). I have always been interested in safety, from the time I started jumping out of airplanes at the age of 16, through my career as an air traffic controller, and as a commercial pilot and current flight instructor. To be able to influence transportation safety and make a difference over the past 16+ years at the TSB has been a significant meaningful experience for me personally. I love working with the investigators who are professional experts and passionate about their work. It’s tough work that can really make a difference by providing answers to those directly involved or families and loved ones of those lost in accidents and by making recommendations to government and industry on how to make aviation safer. My experience at the #TSB has shaped my perception of risk and influenced my own flying behaviour. It has been a real honour to serve in this capacity, and a great way to finish off my career. 2. What inspired you to pursue a career in aviation, and how has your journey influenced the field of aviation in Canada? I have always wanted to fly from as early as I can remember. Perhaps it is in my genes, having 3 uncles (my mother’s older brothers) who were building and flying gliders back in the 1930s. My Uncle Norman Bruce is known as the ‘’grandfather of gliding’’ in Western Canada and paid for my first official flight lesson back in Calgary in 1967. I hope my journey has influenced the flight students I have taught, and certainly some of the work I did at TC and then at NAV CANADA where I occupied various senior management positions including as Director of #Safety and Quality (charged with implementing one of the first safety management systems in aviation in Canada); or Assistant VP, Air Traffic Services, who managed our tactical response to 9/11; or as VP, Operations, introducing the use of radar technology to improve situational awareness for flight service specialists. Certainly, now at the TSB, our work has a very significant influence on aviation safety, and I am proud to lead this organization. 3. As an inductee, what message or piece of advice would you like to pass on to the next generation of aspiring aviators and aviation enthusiasts? Follow your dreams. Be persistent but flexible. Accept opportunities outside your comfort zone – you never know where they may lead. Above all, have fun! ***** To donate to our Giving Tuesday campaign, please click the link in our bio!
