Airplanes without or with a submitted flight plan, can request a clearance in RA1 and RA2 at any time for a restricted area conditional status. Although a conditional status can change from day to day, but if there is…

Barodontalgia, not only affects aircrew and aircraft passengers but the underwater divers as well. The pain or injury that affects teeth due to changes in pressure gradients can be explained via Boyle’s Law “at a given temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the ambient…

in the company’s facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. The objective set for the new aircraft is to replace the army’s OH-58D Kiowa Warrior.
