Airborne Volcanic Ash: Concept of in-flight avoidance
After major adverse impact that volcano eruption had on aviation in April 2010, when the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in Iceland, there is a high need for all airspace users to gather up and contribute to new solutions of problem solving. Based on the lessons learned from that event, any airspac...
