Thierry Dubois is a freelance writer specializing in helicopters, business aviation and aerospace technology. He earned a degree in fluid dynamics from an engineering school in Toulouse, France in the mid-1990s. At an unexpected crossroads, he found his first job in journalism. In 1997, he started working for French aerospace weekly Air &amp; Cosmos in Paris. This lasted until 2000, when he moved south to Lyons. He then became a freelancer, working for various aerospace publications and has been part of the AIN team since late 2000. In addition to writing about business aviation, Thierry shares responsibility for the rotorcraft section. He also is a regular on-site writer for AIN’s daily editions at international airshows such as the Paris, Farnborough, Dubai and Singapore shows, as well as at EBACE in Geneva.
In 2007, he won the Honeywell award for “Best systems or technology submission” at the Aerospace journalist of the year awards. In 2013, he won an Aerospace Media Award for the "Best Safety, Training &amp; Simulation Submission."
In other activities, Thierry moderates international conferences on aviation technology topics. Thierry is married and has three children, who seem to begin enjoying the mountains–as their parents do.

Web Manuals (Booth S132) is here at EBACE offering demonstrations to promote the newly launched basic version of its regulatory compliance application, specifically designed for Part-NCC operators. Developed with partner AeroEx, it is said to have many of the core features of Web Manuals' professional and enterprise editions, but at a significantly lower price. The package also includes a Part-NCC operations manual template to meet the requirements of the new EASA rules for private operators
“This launch ensures Web Manuals is now available to the smallest teams, or even individuals tasked with updating manuals,” Martin Lidgard, CEO and founder of the Sweden-based company, said. It comes with web document authoring and publishing, document revision control, document distribution and email support. The package will be available with monthly invoicing.
The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has selected Web Manuals' authoring and publishing tool. The IS-BAO and IS-BAH standards (respectively covering aircraft operations and ground handling) are available to Web Manuals' customers as integrated compliance libraries. This feature will alert subscribers to the sections of their manuals that require amendments to maintain compliance.

News about bills, laws, regulations and other governmental decisions affecting aviation and aerospace. Topics include FAA re-authorizations, taxes on fuel and aviation activities, environmental legislation, ICAO decisions, governmental mediation of labor conflicts and World Trade Organization disputes and decisions.
