START PAC News & Case Studies

Empowering Women in Aviation and Promoting Diversity

Over the past 15 years, the number of women in aviation has plateaued. Across all aspects of aviation women currently only make up a fraction of the workforce – between 2% in mechanic roles to just over 16% in air traffic control. So, why is this, and what can we do about it? A-WING (Aviation Women Inspiring the Next Generation) is a non-profit organization working to raise awareness of the challenges faced by women in aviation, and to encourage the industry to take action. With the aviation industry still facing a shortage of skilled workers, there is no time like the present to embrace more diversity in aviation and inspire the next generation of aviation professionals. Breaking the Barriers In 2022 the FAA Women in Aviation Advisory Board (WIAAB) outlined 55 recommendations to address the issue of why women tend to steer away from aviation. The barriers are across recruitment, […]

START PAC® Launch “Green Machine”, Its New Environmentally Friendly Ground Unit!

START PAC®, the world leader in ground power units has designed the Green Machine (patent pending), a unique modular battery-powered ground power unit to replace diesel- and gas-powered units. The new Green Machine has been launched with the aim of replacing diesel power units (GPU), whilst providing the same service to create a greener working environment. This GPU is entirely battery-powered and does not require an internal combustion engine for power.  The majority of non-transport aircraft operate on the 24-volt direct current system (VDC). These aircraft need to be powered up for ground-based operations and their onboard batteries are inadequate, therefore there is a need for an external power supply source from a ground power unit. Currently, most GPUs are powered with diesel engines, which are loud, environment-polluting, expensive to run and maintain. To address this problem, airports worldwide are requiring diesel- and gas-powered units to be replaced with battery-powered […]
