Share Aviation, AOPA partner
to connect aviators
WHEN WE'RE UP IN THE SKY or spending
time at our favorite airports, our cameras are never so far away to safely grab
that shot-a stunning sunset, a breathtaking landscape, a cool airplane, our friend's
house, or our passengers' reactions to their
first flights-and share it with friends, family, and the pilot community.
Now it's even easier to share those photos and videos with the pilot community.
AOPA has partnered with Share Aviation
(www.shareaviation.com), a social network
launched by four pilots that lets aviators,
aircraft owners, and aviation enthusiasts
share their experiences.
"Share Aviation started from a simple phone call between two friends," said
Jason Stewart, one of the Share Aviation
founders. "The idea that sparked was to
provide a central hub where aviators of all
kinds could connect and share their common passion. The 'fun' side of aviation is
what keeps pilots in the air and spreads the
magic of flight to a new generation."
In its first year, users have signed up
from all 50 U.S. states and 27 countries;
they've shared more than 3,000 aviation-related videos and 14,000 photos.
On February 1, the group launched a new
website and iOS and Android mobile applications. Since then, Share Aviation said
about 100 new users are joining each day.
"To date, we've engaged thousands of
aviation enthusiasts in a way that is relevant to how people communicate in today's
world," Stewart said. "The experience of
flight is so much more rewarding when it
is shared, and the social media universe is
a perfect place to do that."
"AOPA has partnered with Share
Aviation because the two groups have common goals-to share the love of flight and
to build a stronger and more connected
aviation community," said Jiri Marousek,
AOPA senior vice president of marketing. "This partnership will allow AOPA
to engage directly with a fast-growing
online community that is bringing the fun
and excitement of aviation to current and
future pilots through the power of social
media."
AOPA will share training videos from
the Air Safety Institute, aviation news, and
tools to help pilots start and keep flying.
Anyone can join Share Aviation by
creating a free account on the website.
Android and iOS mobile applications also
are available for free download.
CESSNA AIRCRAFT is on track for
certification in the second quarter following recent program
milestones.
T h e L a t i t u d e wa s f i r st
announced in October 2011 and has
logged 500 flights and 1,200 hours.
It has a promised 2,700-nauticalmile range (increased 200 nm
from previous estimates in part
by larger fuel tanks). It will carry
up to nine passengers, is claimed
to reach 43,000 feet in 24 minutes,
and can maintain a cabin altitude
of 6,000 feet up to its maximum
operating altitude of 45,000 feet.
The $16.2 million Latitude is
important to Cessna's fortunes.
Like most manufacturers, the
company has seen sales decline in
recent years, and the Latitude and
Longitude-also in development-
are expected to help the Wichita
firm reclaim lost market share.
Analysts have said Bombardier's
recent woes will likely spell more
sales for Cessna and its parent,
Textron Aviation.
"Our product investments
extend beyond the design and
performance features of the aircraft with innovations in our
manufacturing processes," said
Scott Ernest, president and CEO,
in a news release. "The Citation
Latitude team has redefined what
customers should expect from a
business aircraft in this segment,
while also redefining the aircraft
build process."
