31 October 2017, EATS2017, Estrel Convention Centre, Berlin: He is the ‘Editor in Chief’ of Halldale Media’s iconic aviation industry magazines – Civil Aviation Training (CAT Magazine) and Military & Simulation Training (MS&T). Unassuming and rather publicity shy for a famous industry trade journalist, Christopher Lehman is a whole lot more than an aviation journalist. Epitomising the competency and professional performance focus that CAT and MS&T espouse in all their editorial content and conference programs, Chris is a first among […]

So Dutchman Michael van Gerwen has won the World Series of Darts for the third year in a row. On Sunday (November 5), he beat Gary Anderson of Scotland 11-6 in Glasgow, at the packed Braehead Arena. Rewind a little bit to Berlin last week, and that’s when I discovered that Darts has a World Series (should have occurred to me already). How did I catch on? Well, it was all thanks to a 23-year-old entrepreneur, Timm Bange. Timm is […]

I like not knowing. Because when I don’t know, I can discover and find out and so the travelling makes sense. Like yesterday I was enjoying and shivering in the cold rainstormy weather in Mumbai – I didn’t know what the weather was like in Doha. And so, when I got out of the air-conditioned airport, I went “Whoahhhhhh! This is hot!&%%!” But that’s the way I like it and so I am now heading to Doha airport to fly […]

28 August 2017: Just arrived in Singapore for the Asia Pacific Aviation Training Symposium (APATS) and the moment I sat in the taxi to get to the hotel, I started planning and organising my thoughts and tasks for the next four days. Once in the room, I kept my bags on the floor near the work desk, took out my chargers, laptop, iPad, phone and plugged them in. Then, I made a big cup of black coffee, poured three sachets […]

Aviation Training is estimated to be a 6 Billion USD industry, which is growing very rapidly. While a healthy 12% of this market-size belongs to Training Hardware products (Simulator, Training Devices sub-segment), the industry portfolio includes a very diverse range of Services, Products and Emerging solutions. We had a chance to catch up at length with Andy Smith, Founder of Halldale Media at the Asia Pacific Aviation Training Symposium (APATS 2017) in Singapore (held on August 28-30, 2017). Halldale publishes […]

The other day I was walking about aimlessly, looking here, looking there, generally in a lethargic mood, undecided about what I would do next, what I wanted to do, and very aware that in the meanwhile, work and errands and chores were piling up. It felt good to just take a walk without purpose – I was ‘browsing about’ one might say. Then, a friend walked by and another and another and before I knew it, several people were rushing […]

Product companies, no matter how visionary or big, just stop connecting the dots after a while and then spend their time ‘maintaining’ a product built 10 years ago. To my mind this difference is important because a product built even five years ago is going to really struggle to connect to anything today, keeping the whole company busy looking for sticky tape and mud-balls to plug each leak and twigs to build bridges to newer platforms that think, behave and perform in […]
