Flight navigation – yes, there’s an app for that.
More and more, our lives are going digital, and aviation is no exception. For flight planning, pilots traditionally have relied on paper navigational charts and other printed materials. Often voluminous, these paper charts also require frequent updates in order to remain reliable. Boeing intends to change all that, and is encouraging airlines to ditch the paper and switch to electronic tablets for flight information. Boeing already has encouraged airlines to do away with paper manuals, and is transitioning to a purely electronic environment for flight training as well. Now, through Jeppesen, its flight navigation data unit, Boeing has introduced a mobile flight charting application, or “app,” for iPad users. Downloadable from the iTunes store, the app is intended to allow pilots access to instantly updated navigational information, such as flight charts and airport diagrams, and to make the flight charting process completely paperless. No word yet on when an Android version will be available.

That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
