  • Sky's No Limit: Redressing the Gender Imbalance in Aviation
    SKY’S NO LIMIT REDRESSING THE GENDER IMBALANCE IN AVIATION A CONTENT PARTNERSHIP CONTENTS WELCOME hether in discussions at high- level summits or studied in new research partnerships, gender diversity is becoming a Whigh-profile topic in aviation. In contrast to the many highly skilled professions that have achieved significant progress towards gender parity, aviation is a single outlier. Today, aviation is leaving half of its available pilot talent pool on the bench. While diversity stretches well beyond both gender and the flight deck, the lack of gender diversity specifically among airline pilots illuminates the issue in a highly visible way. Women have historically been underrepresented in flying for several reasons, including legal ones via military combat exclusion and cultural factors such as gender bias in career aspirations, fewer women in math and physics studies, and a lack of role models. “Female or male, people become pilots for the same CAE reasons... they love flying” Female or male, people become pilots for BillyPix the same reasons.

    Police Aviation News 281 September 2019 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 281 September 2019 Police Aviation News 281 September 2019 2 LAW ENFORCEMENT PHILLIPPINES NATIONAL POLICE: On July 25th Robinson Helicopter Company delivered two R44 Raven IIs to the Philippine National Police (PNP). The aircraft were purchased through Robinson’s long-standing dealer Lionair Inc. based in Manilla. It was stated that this was the first acquisition of Robinson helicopters by the Philippine government [but see below]. The PNP is the armed civilian national police force tasked with law enforcement throughout the Southeast Asian country’s 7,000+ islands. The acquisition is part of an overall effort by the government to strengthen and expand its law enforcement. Upon their arrival in Manila, the R44s will be turned over to the Special Action Force Aviation Unit (SAF- AU) to be used for training. Police Lt. Colonel Ruel Zalatar, Chief of PNP-SAF-AU, who has logged signifi- cant time in various rotorcraft, believes the R44 is well suited for training and enhancing police-related skills namely surveillance, patrol, and aerial reconnaissance. The R44’s ease of maintenance and low op- erating costs allows more pilots to receive additional training before moving up to the fleet’s higher catego- ry rotorcraft. Ed: Selective memories are definitely in gear. Despite the statement by Robinson, these are not the first R44 to appear in Philippine Police Service. Back in 2010 the then SAF-AU commander Director Leocadio Santiago took delivery of what were be- lieved to be three brand new helicopters at Camp Crame, the PNP HQ.
