ESA EGNOS navigation system begins serving Europe’s aircraft

One of Eurocontrol's EGNOS pioneers, this Aurigny Airlines Trislander can perform EGNOS-guided approaches using runway procedures published for Southampton Airport in the UK and Alderney Airport in the Channel Islands.

This activity took place through the partnership of the UK's National Air Traffic Services (NATS), Aurigny Airlines and Anglo Normandy Engineering, with the support of the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the States of Guernsey.

Mooseville Alaska: Wild Area Networking

Bull Moose in Anchorage, Alaska

Question? If the Boss calls you into his/her office and tells you that you're being transferred to run application support in the Anchorage branch.

Do you:
a) Laugh hysterically in his/her face, hoping to hell that its a joke;
b) Call the wife and tell her to pack up the kids, duvets, blankets, shotgun, etc. because you're moving north of the border;
c) Start training for the "Running of the Reindeer";
d) Take heart in the fact that Anchorage, on average, receives less annual snowfall than Syracuse, N.Y.;
e) Immediately resign your post and look for employment elsewhere, because you're not sure about seeing moose in the traffic jams, supermarkets and crowded parking lots.
