Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Telecom-to-Aviation Playbook for Scaling Airspace Systems
Q: What is the path to certification for new aviation software products, and how long does it typically take?
Certification is a deliberate, upfront decision that a product will be certified. It requires mapping requirements to regulations, end-to-end traceability from business needs to code, and rigorous testing and security checks. The guest described their two-year-plus certification journey with EASA as tough but transformative for organizational processes.
The Telecom-to-Aviation Playbook for Scaling Airspace Systems
Q: How did your background in telecoms influence how you approached aviation standardization and interoperability?
The telecoms industry taught us that fragmented, non-interoperable systems lead to high costs and slow scaling. By pushing for common standards and published interfaces, we've avoided isolated black boxes and built a foundation where regulators and operators can work together with confidence.
Fix the Data First: A Contrarian's Guide to AI in Hospitality
Q: What are some of those very practical use cases you see real value in?
The top practical use case is establishing a single source of truth for content across third-party channels, auditing for accuracy, and automatically updating information so hotels can maintain consistency and improve distribution without overhauling their entire tech stack.
What’s Actually Stopping Air Taxis From Taking Off
Q: Are there events coming up where people can engage with Vigilant Aerospace?
Yes, they will be at AUVSI Exponential in Detroit, with additional shows listed on their blog; they're also reachable via their website for meeting opportunities.
What’s Actually Stopping Air Taxis From Taking Off
Q: What level of autonomy are we talking about with the drone itself under the new rules?
The evolution moves toward more autonomy with an airspace flight manager and data service providers, enabling highly autonomous missions while still requiring safety systems and pilot involvement where needed.
