Safety being of the utmost importance, all Air Travel Logistics aircraft feature standardized cockpits containing the most up-to-date avionics, navigation, communication, and auto pilot equipment possible including Global Positioning Satellite System navigation devices (GPSS), onboard weather radar, satellite weather information downlink, and collision warning equipment. All of our aircraft are approved for flight in known icing conditions. The aircraft participate in Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Programs (C.A.M.P) and are maintained to the highest standards to ensure maximum reliability and safety.  Our pilots undergo thorough simulator training in FAA certified simulators with Certified Flight Instructors (CFI) biannually. 

For more information regarding our cockpit equipment please see below:

GPS Navigation Systems (Garmin)

Garmin 530: It is a WAAS-upgradeable IFR GPS, Com, VOR, LOC and glide-slope with color moving map all rolled into one.  A huge Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, DPs/STARs and SUA information.

Avidyne FlightMax Multilink NEXRAD XM Weather

The XM WX™ Satellite Weather service gives pilots comprehensive, graphical information about weather conditions all across the Continental United States (CONUS). XM WX delivers critical, real-time information for pilots including NEXRAD Radar in high resolution, full-color graphical format, overlayed on the moving map. The high-speed broadcast capability of XM WX provides consistent update rates including six-minute updates of both NEXRAD, and lightning from the National Lightning Detection Network®.   Its broad-band capability makes it easy to add additional services. New Storm tracks, hail alerts, “Winds-aloft,” Freezing Level and TAFS have been added to XM-WX services.

Traffic Alert System

The GTX™ 330/330D are Mode S, IFR-certified transponders with datalink capability, including local traffic updates.  FAA Traffic Information Services (TIS), including location, direction, altitude, and climb/descent information of nearby aircraft

Autopilot System

Autopilots make a major contribution to increased safety for pilot and passengers alike. If a pilot sees threatening weather in the flight path, he or she must quickly assess the situation, locate charts, check fuel availability, evaluate alternatives and make critical decisions. The autopilot can control the aircraft while these other duties are attended to.

Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (C.A.M.P)

A continuous airworthiness maintenance program (CAMP) is the set of processes certificate holders (operators) must use to keep their aircraft in an airworthy condition.  The FAA requires operators to establish and maintain two separate, but equal, functions within their CAMP -- one for required maintenance actions and the other for required maintenance inspections.

XM Satellite Data link

Airborne Data Link is one of the latest technologies available to the general aviation pilot. You can have all the strategic benefits of national NEXRAD weather radar and complexity of traditional aircraft radar. Satellite based systems provide no two way communication options but will work at any altitude from the ground up. Data link systems interface to all modern Multi-Function avionics displays as well as laptop computers, Pocket PC's or PDA's.

Semiannual Training

Our pilots undergo thorough training in FAA certified simulators with Certified Flight Instructors.  Training includes:

	Aircraft systems review
	Systems failure analysis
	Emergency procedures
	Weight and balance
	Aircraft loading
	Flight profiles
	Federal Aviation Regulations
