AAAA – Convention, Hobart, Tasmania, June 2008

We were very pleased to return to Australia this year to attend the AAAA Convention as it was the 50^th anniversary of the association; our congratulations on this achievement. It was a pleasure to chat with the many friends that we had made last year and to hear that in a lot of cases the weather had turned in their favor and that they had had a reasonable season. Unfortunately the drought still continues in many other areas of Australia and our sympathy and wishes for better times goes out to those folks.

Talking of challenges we had our own on this trip as our entire Show simulator system, weighing in at a mere 186 lbs, went missing in Sydney Thursday the previous week to the show. After a stressful weekend, it fortunately and mysteriously arrived at the Hobart airport the morning of the show (Tuesday) and we had it up and running by mid morning.

Because of the level of interest in our product and systems in Australia, we have chosen to place two demonstration units with Operators, one in Queensland and the other in New South Wales. These two units will be in service in aircraft in the next few weeks. We have been advised by both Operators that they would be pleased to show the systems to other Pilots and Operators. If you wish to see what a DynaFlight system can do for you, drop us an e-mail or give us a call and we will put you in touch with the appropriate Operator.

CAAA – Halifax, Nova Scotia, February, 2008

Traveling from the west coast to the east reminds one just how large and diverse our great country is. From the spectacular mountainous regions of the west across the immense central Plains to the historic maritime regions of the east coast, we are all very fortunate no matter where we live. We had the opportunity to meet with many fellow Canadians and to chat about the challenges and demands that we all face in the Aerial Ag business. Ours is one of staying on the leading edge of technology in order to provide the industries that we serve with the very latest solutions in order for them to maximize their efficiency, safety and productivity. “Time waits for no man” is a very relevant saying in our business and it is important to understand that old technology does not provide for efficient use or profitability. As an example, we have incorporated three new product enhancements into our systems in just the last six months all of which contribute to its performance in one way or another.

Recognizing the necessity in the industry for improvements in operational safety, productivity and profitability we presented at the show technologies that address those needs and will take the industry well into the next decade. Our product is the future and is here today to serve the Aerial Ag business

AAAA – Little Rock - Arkansas – January, 2008

Thank you Arkansas for a great show and convention, your warm welcome was very much appreciated as was your interest in our products and technologies. We fully understand that our approach to aerial guidance, mapping and data gathering is very different from the rest of our industry. It was very gratifying however, to realize how many of you very quickly, in just one area of our technologies alone, recognized the familiarity of our DynaViz instrument to that of a "HUD" unit. In our opinion for the continuing drive towards safety and productivity in the Aerial Ag industry, this is where guidance systems should be headed and where all information necessary for the Pilot to do his job should be located. 

Following are a few of the images that we took at the Show

Our thanks go to Brent Short for all his help in selecting our Booth position for us. It was exactly what we needed and displayed our technologies to perfection.

 

Here’s our Booth fully assembled and ready for action. Much technology on display this time ranging from the DynaFlight-AirAgII™ system, the “LaserAce” height over ground instrument and the Auto-Cal flow control system. Also shown was our web page in real time and from our ground management package the Google Earth mapping system.

 

Here’s Reg, President of DynaNav dialing up the system prior to show opening. As can be seen he is trying to put the room through a heavy ‘G’ force left banking turn.

 

Always crowds at our Booth. Thank you again Arkansas.

NAAA – Reno - Nevada – December, 2007  

The industry has come a long way since the first “crop dusting”, of a field in Ohio in 1921 by a modified US army Biplane to the level of sophistication being offered by manufacturers of specialty million dollar turboprop aircraft today. Certainly the show demonstrated that fact in all the technologies from the many manufacturers that were on display.

       

Definitely technology is moving ahead at a very rapid pace in our sector, that of GPS guidance systems.

Again, as we did in California just a month ago, DynaNav introduced new technology that in some applications will make the Ag-Pilots life easier, safer and more productive. This time it was the introduction of the integration of the “LaserAce” unit from Ag Laser, L.L.C. into our products. To our knowledge, this is the first accurate in flight vertical height over ground recording and reference system installed in a GPS guidance, data gathering and mapping system. As the saying goes, “you saw it first at DynaNav”.

Full details are in the December 2007 issue of the AgAir update or can be viewed on our web site under “Press”.

DynaNav also had the opportunity to make a presentation to the conference entitled “THE ROAD FORWARD”. In this we discuss the importance of Cockpit resource management, ergonomics and situation awareness and how they affect and contribute to our approach to the design and implementation of our products. We strongly believe in a safer and more productive workplace for the Ag-Pilot.

The presentation can also be viewed on our web site under “News and Events”.

 

 

CAAA – Lake Tahoe - California – November, 2007

It was our pleasure to attend the CAAA in November and meet with some of the three hundred licensed Ag Pilots of the region. Have to admit we were surprised to learn that these guys fly some 100,000 combined hour’s per season and contribute in a big way towards a very productive $30 billion Ag economy.

For them to do this on a continuous and productive basis they will need the latest and the right tools for the job. We hope that they liked some of the new ideas that have been incorporated into DynaNav products.

In order to demonstrate our products fully we chose California to introduce our full flight simulation system including a couple of new ideas to the North American market. This allows us to demonstrate a fully operational DynaFlight-AirAg11 system whereby a professional Pilot can grasp our difference in approach to aerial guidance.

New technology introduced at the show included “The Roadway Guidance System” and the inclusion of “Google Earth”, mapping systems in our ground based software.

The Roadway Guidance System, as many Pilots have now said, is like driving your car down the center line of a road. It is very intuitive to use and is displayed directly in the line of sight of the Pilot on the DynaViz screen and therefore forms part of his instrument scanning process.

Google Earth mapping is another incredible tool that we have chosen to integrate with our products as part of our ground management systems. We first adopted this product for a forestry mapping project in Germany early in 2007. German Forestry officials currently use our systems programmed with Google Earth output to maintain infield quality control. These combined systems are now also used in Europe for Mosquito control.

In the U.S. our system has experienced success but also in a very different arena. An Aerial Ag operation was accused of Chemical Trespass. Fortunately by providing the authorities with a Google map overlay they proved very quickly and conclusively their innocence.

In our opinion both these new products add to the safety, productivity and overall performance of the Ag Aircraft and the Pilot’s that fly them.

 

DynaNav Wins Award in Australia, June 2007  

In June 2007, DynaNav attended the annual AAAA Convention and Show held at the Royal Pines Resort near Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia.

This was a new venture for DynaNav, which had previously focused on other industries and applications in North America and Europe.

DynaNav received a typically Aussie welcome, full of openness, down to earth honesty, friendship and absolute hospitality.

Many friendships were made and opportunities discussed which are still being explored.

We were very honored to receive the annual Exhibitors Show Award for the most innovative and interactive product. Here, Reg Moen, President of Dynanav receives the award from Conrad Bolton, the current President of the AAAA.
