Electra Partners with Virginia Program to Develop GPS-Based IFR Procedures for uSTOL Aircraft
Electra.aero Inc. has partnered with the Virginia Advanced Air Mobility Smart Airspace Program to design and implement a low-cost IFR network for uSTOL and AAM aircraft. This initiative aims to create procedures that separate AAM traffic from conventional aircraft and enable direct routing using GPS navigation. The program will initially connect four Virginia locations and is supported by local aviation authorities.

Electra.aero Inc. is collaborating with the Virginia Advanced Air Mobility Smart Airspace Program to create a low-cost instrument flight rules (IFR) network for ultra-short takeoff and landing (uSTOL) aircraft. This effort addresses the need for AAM-specific IFR procedures to enhance safety and reduce airport congestion.
Electra will lead technical development alongside NAVOS Air, with support from the Virginia Small Aircraft Transportation Systems Lab and the Virginia Department of Aviation. The program will initially link four Virginia sites and aim to establish a scalable IFR model for AAM across the U.S.
