Alongside providing a boutique consultancy service, one of our favourite things to do is to pick industry experts brains!
We invest time in our resources section on the website; the interview and webinar pages are packed with some really valuable discussions offering great insights.
For example, did you know about Aviation Action? We sat down for an interview with its founder, Chris Wild, to discuss its goals of providing support to aviation professionals in need, and the opportunity for individuals and organisations to show their support to the aviation family. You can watch that interview here.
Or, if you'd like to learn more about cloud-based, remote ATC training then you can catch up on our chat with Greg Pile of Micro Nav.
There's a couple more to check out, let us know what you think!
You can also check out a full schedule of upcoming webinars on our dedicated page. We update it regularly.
As ever, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Is there anyone you would love to hear from?
