afety is paramount in aviation and being able to
successfully communicate is one of its cornerstones.
It's why successfully maintained pilot
and cabin communication systems are as critical
as they can be complex.
" They use them so much that if they're not working
properly, they're going to get flagged immediately. If it's
not the air traffic controller telling them, " Hey, look, I cannot hear
you, " or the pilot saying, " I can't hear you. You're coming in weak
and garbled, " and things of that nature. So you pretty much can't get
away with it, because that's your only voice to the ground, is communication, "
said John Holland, general manager, Trimec Aviation.

However, troubleshooting an issue a pilot has in the sky when the
aircraft is on the ground is not always so straightforward. Holland
gives the example of trying to trouble shoot Wi-Fi connectivity
issues.
" It's one of those things where the customer sometimes says
it's weak and it's just not working right. And you go there and it's
working perfectly for you. They don't realize that an airplane is at
35,000 feet, and you're not going to get the similar performance
that you do at home, " he said.
Holland adds that Wi-Fi has become a choice more and more
pilots are going with, giving them the option for text-based communications,
but all around the technology is advancing.
