Aery Aviation, LLC (“Aery”) may be best known for its design, engineering, modification, maintenance, and certification of aircraft for individuals, private corporations, and governments around the world, but the performance of flight operations for a global health care organization is one project that exemplifies Aery’s commitment to quality and safety.

Since June 2020, Aery has successfully completed twenty-three (23) flights carrying critical transplant organs from donors to recipients. These flight operations can occur at any time, and the window for response is small, usually a few hours at most. Individuals and families who have chosen to be organ donors do not know when the time will come that they will be donors, and the organization they have selected for donation dutifully and respectfully fulfils those wishes. Aery is honored to be a part of that process by performing flight operations to transport the organ from a donor to a recipient and transporting the surgical staff to do their jobs. Those flights, whether day or night, fair or foul weather, save lives, and Aery has had 100% operational performance and success at these critical times in people’s lives. While it is a somber event that brings about the availability of an organ, the opportunity and honor to assist in saving a life may help ease the loss for those involved.

During this time of year many are reflecting on the ups and downs of the past twelve months. This year, Aery is exceptionally thankful, and is honored to be a part of the aviation and aerospace community by giving the gift of life.

Jan. 1, 2020 marked the deadline for the FAA ADS-B Out mandate. For those that have been unable to get the ADS-B installation done before the January 1 compliance deadline, the FAA has implemented a waiver system to facilitate movement to an installer. See this link (https://lnkd.in/etCdZHH) to get the waiver for an aircraft movement to Aery at KPHF, where an ADS-B installation can be facilitated immediately.

Aery has received a flurry of ADS-B installs over the last 30 days, including two Cessnas, one Gulfstream, and two Piaggios, and is more than capable of providing many more installations, such as avionics services including Wi-Fi and other cabin entertainment, at a moment’s notice.
