Apex Aviation Receives Certification
from Mexican Government
Apex Aviation of Henderson, Nevada, is now authorized
to conduct repair and maintenance activities on aircraft
registered in Mexico. The Mexican Direccion General de
Aeronautica Civil (DGAC ) issued Approved Maintenance
Organization Validation Certificate Number CO-192/18
to the service center. This is the equivalent of a United
States FAA Part 145 Repair Station certification, which
the company also holds.
The company serves corporate aviation from King
Airs through Gulfstreams, as well as the general aviation
industry by providing aircraft maintenance, repair,
modifications, ADS-B upgrades and avionics installations,
repairs, and overhauls for turbine, piston, turboprop and
rotor aircraft. They also provide professional interior
and exterior detailing.
MARCH 2019 ADDED K A
Apex Aviation has two locations in the Las Vegas area
– a 40,000-plus square foot state-of-the-art facility at
the Henderson Executive Airport (KHND), which also
houses its corporate offices, and a North Las Vegas
(KVGT) location.
ForeFlight Introduces
3D View
ForeFlight recently introduced a new
interactive airport familiarization
tool for its Mobile Integrated
Flight app. Called “Airport
3D View” the company
says it simulates airport
environments around
the world by using the
company’s mapping
and synthetic vision
platform to combine
high-resolution terrain
with aerial imagery. 3D
View lets users pan and
zoom 360 degrees around
the 3D airport model, along with providing a camera
view that tilts from a three-degree approach path to
a top-down view.
Airport 3D View also provides data on the camera’s
current position including altitude, distance from the
camera pivot point at a runway end or airport center,
and camera inclination in degrees. Runway buttons allow
the camera to be repositioned to one nautical mile from
the end of the runway along the published glideslope.
3D views for an airport can be downloaded for use in
the air via ForeFlight’s Pack feature.
Garmin Adds More Functionality
to FltLogic Service
Garmin recently added an FBO fuel price comparison
feature and filters for developing flight department
reports to subscribers of its FltLogic scheduling program.
The new features are available immediately on FltLogic,
which integrates with the free FltPlan electronic flight
planning and filing website.
According to the company, the new contract fuel
pricing feature will help operators who are subscribed
to FuelerLinx find the cheapest fuel by comparing FBO
prices at their departure and destination airports.
The company also has increased the functionality of
FltLogic’s reporting by adding filters that allow flight
departments to pull together different reports on their
pilots, aircraft and expenses.
Garmin acquired FltPlan in August 2018.
