What happens when a 787 captain, helicopter rescue pilot, and airspace designer reimagines how we move through the sky?
In this episode, David speaks with Chris Baur, President & CEO of Hughes Aerospace and active Boeing 787 captain. Chris unpacks how performance-based navigation (PBN), advanced RNP, and helicopter IFR open safer, smarter routes—plus what it takes to integrate eVTOLs and UAS into everyday airspace. He also shares lessons from leading the longest helicopter oceanic rescue on record and why peer support and weather cameras save lives.
Key Takeaways: → PBN/NextGen: shorter routes, lower emissions, higher throughput, safer ops → TERPS vs. PANS-OPS: obstacle data drives your minimums → Advanced RNP + guided visuals: straighter lines, lower mins, safer GA → Helicopter IFR/ZK routes: 3D paths, safer missed approaches, broader access → Proven safety enablers: weather cameras, peer support, and AAM/vertiport readiness
