Archer Aviation has achieved a significant milestone by completing over 400 test flights in 2024, surpassing its initial goal months ahead of schedule. These flights, conducted over the past eight months, have provided crucial data to refine the performance, safety, and operational capabilities of Archer’s aircraft, including its Midnight model. The Archer flight test team has focused on key areas such as transition flights, high-rate operations, landing profiles, acoustic measurements, and optimizing control laws. These efforts are part of Archer’s preparation for Federal Aviation Administration for-credit flight testing, moving closer to commercial operations. Adam Goldstein, CEO and Founder of Archer, praised the team’s dedication: “When we first set our goal for 400 flights this year it was viewed as aggressive, but here we are in August already knocking it out.” This accomplishment comes on the heels of Archer’s strategic developments, including partnerships with Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, and the delivery of its first aircraft to the United States Air Force.

FAA completes six-week audit of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems: results A six-week audit, carried out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems has discovered a number of safety issues. The audit was actioned by the FAA after Alaska Airlines flight 1282 suffered a rapid decompression when a left mid-cabin door plug separated from the aircraft at 16,000 feet on January 5, 2024. The findings announced by the FAA on March 4, 2024, represent more troubling news for Boeing and its partner Spirit.

ASD is one of four key European and North American aviation industry associations to welcome the renewed commitment for enhanced coordination between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This commitment was announced during the 2024 FAA–EASA International Aviation Safety Conference, where ASD was represented by ASD Civil Aviation Director, Vincent De Vroey. In a joint statement, Airlines for Europe (A4E), Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD), and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) emphasised the importance of collaboration in the following areas: safety and efficiency, sustainability, innovation, and workforce preparedness. This renewed commitment between the FAA and EASA sets a strong foundation for an ever safer, more efficient, and sustainable aviation industry. As we advance into this new chapter of transatlantic collaboration, the industry stands ready to support and lead the way! Read the joint statement: https://lnkd.in/eqKjJbSE

Exciting news from Loring! The team is making great progress on the development of the airport master plan to make the former Air Force base part of the FAA National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). With this designation, the Loring Aerospace Port can play a key role in addressing the growing capacity in the Northeast US aviation system. This opens up great business opportunities in MRO, aircraft manufacturing, air cargo, aerospace research and development, UAS, AAM, and spaceport operations. Additionally, Loring is in the process of establishing a Foreign Trade Zone, which can be advantageous to the aerospace manufacturing sectors. Stay tuned for more updates! #Loring #Aerospace #Aviation #BusinessOpportunities #ForeignTradeZone

Boeing faces significant hurdles in enhancing aircraft safety, as pointed out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Following an incident where a door panel detached during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, the FAA has given Boeing 90 days to submit a comprehensive plan addressing these critical safety concerns. 🔍 The FAA's Michael Whitaker emphasised that the plan is merely the start of a rigorous process to ensure Boeing meets the necessary safety standards. With Boeing's CEO set to step down later this year amidst these challenges, the aviation community watches closely as the company aims to redefine its commitment to safety and quality. 🛠️ As stakeholders in aerospace, let's discuss how such rigorous oversight can push for better safety protocols and industry standards. How can other companies learn from Boeing's scrutiny? What is the role of Inspection? #Aerospace #SafetyFirst #Boeing #FAA #AviationIndustry #Regulator #Inspection #Safety
