ITPS Canada - First Virtual Graduation Ceremony

On Friday, June 19th, ITPS Canada held its first ever virtual graduation ceremony for the 2019B Graduate Test Pilot and Flight Test Engineer Course. The seven graduates from China, Turkey, Germany, Italy and Canada received their certificates at the ITPS facility with social distancing and protective measure in place, while friends, family, and sponsors from all over the world attended via Zoom. Guest of Honour and keynote speaker, Mr. Fernando Alonso, President of Airbus Spain and CEO of Airbus Military Aircraft Division (retired), gave the new graduates valuable advice as they embark on their new career. It was not an easy year for the graduates due to the workload and intensity of their training but also the unforeseen pandemic that gave them an extra life lesson of expecting the unexpected. Through a combination of online instruction and re-structuring of the programme, the students graduated only three weeks later than planned despite the seven week hiatus due to the lockdown. ITPS is excited to see our graduates thrive in this next chapter of their careers. Congratulations to all!

National Aerospace Library YouTube Channel campaign Introduction

The National Aerospace Library funded by the Royal Aeronautical Society has launched a new online heritage film collection with more than 30 videos uncovered films previously held in its archives and recently digitalised for viewing for the first time on the newly launched National Aerospace Library YouTube channel.

Films from the archive date back to 1927 and include among other highlights rare footage from Donald W. Douglas which showcases early airliners, the original inflight movie being shown and a film from the first round-the-world flight which took place in 1924.

The film archive covers the evolution of aviation and aerospace including:

  • A range of early rotorcraft films in colour and black-and-white
  • Airport footage, including from Britain’s first major international airport in Croydon
  • Early commercial aviation videos
  • Historical footage of the beginnings of the aerospace industry and aircraft design

In addition, this YouTube channel contains other video content such as documentaries and lectures which promotes rich heritage content.

A full list of the video content is arranged under ‘Playlists’ which can be found here: www.aerosociety.com/movies

The archive content will continue to be added to the YouTube channel, and viewers can subscribe for free to be alerted to new uploads.

Partners and Supporters

The key goal of this campaign is to inform current and future aviation professionals and enthusiasts of this rich historical video content as well as serve as a valuable historical record.
