Welcome April! I don't know about where you are, but we here in Indiana continue to suffer weather whiplash.  We had thunderstorms all weekend and now they are predicting a freeze.  I thought weather was fickle when I lived in Michigan!  I begin to understand why there are not the plethora of fruit stands here in Central Indiana there was when I was a kid up in Michigan.  Those poor fruit buds just cannot keep up!

​

What is coming up for us at Baere this month?  Well, we are virtually supporting the ASTM D02.J0 Aviation Fuels meetings which are being held in Brussels, Belgium April 7-10, 2025.  And those meetings are followed by the ASTM F44 Committee on General Aviation Aircraft design and construction certification testing April 14 -16, 2025 in Prague.  We wrap up the month in person at the Coordinating Research Council Aviation meetings in Dayton, OH  April 27 to May 1, 2025.  Aviation continues to be a seriously dynamic industry with evolutions and revolutions in our technology happening daily.

​

In other efforts, Baere is now self-certified at a CMMC Level 1.  While we are endeavoring to do as much at a level 2 as is practical, when you are a company as small as we are, it is just not feasible to be certified to Level 2.  However, if you are a Level 2 or higher company and need to subcontract Baere, we fully intend to do what we can to comply, most likely by being brought into your enclave.  We recognize that the more items with which we can comply and document, the easier it is for us to join you and are doing our best to do so.  Cyber security is a critical concept for a company, even if you are not a supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense and as such are committed to doing as much as we can to be 'compliant'.​​​​​​​

​

In the meantime, enjoy the transitional time, keep a rain slicker and a jumper in your bag, and let it rain!
