Michael Whitaker Federal Aviation Administration Administrator helping to kickoff a standing-room only National Business Aviation Association BACE 2024 with Chairman Ed Bolen in Las Vegas! Administrator Whitaker's first year has been focused on safety in the NAS (national airspace system), being a global leader, and focusing on performance when it comes to meeting the required levels of safety (i.e. for eVTOL) and less so for the specifics for how manufacturers should meet the regulations. #safety #pilot #businessaviation #aircraft #l2aviation

I had a great chat with Richard N. Ziskind about the future of Alerion Aviation’s fleet, and much more… Read the full article on ch-aviation as we bring more and more business aviation news to the industry!

Skylark discusses the current and future impacts the FAA’s Emergency Airworthiness Directive, issued following the in-flight loss of a mid-cabin door plug on an Alaska Airlines flight, has had on airlines and airports. #airlines #airports #aviation #skylark #boeing #boeing737 #737max

🚁🌊 Marine pilots face significant challenges in boarding and disembarking vessels in treacherous waters. Thanks to Brim Aviation's expertise and #Leonardo cutting-edge helicopter technology, they can perform these tasks with enhanced efficiency and safety. Why and how helicopters can complement maritime operations by increasing efficiency, ensuring safety, and even reducing carbon emissions? ⬇️ Thanks to #verticalmagazine and Lloyd Horgan for covering such a critical mission. #Aviation #MaritimeSafety #Sustainability #Innovation #LeonardoHelicopters #MarinePilots

Few could argue that 1970's start-up Air Florida had not "evolved" a fairly attractive paint scheme, one that certainly suited the company's name and Miami headquarters. The blue, green, and white ensemble looked particularly good when clean and captured in good sunlight, as was the case with this ex-United Boeing 737-222 "N62AF" photographed one day late in 1980 about to return to earth at MIA. This livery made it onto the company's 727-200, 737-200, DC-9-15, and DC-10-30 aircraft but was most common on the airline's large fleet of Boeing twinjets. After beginning service with a single ex-Pan am 707-321 in 1972, Air Florida ultimately grew to fly nearly 60 aircraft. Unfortunately an at-fault fatal 1982 crash involving the subject aircraft of this photo-post in the Potomac River (immediately after departure from Washington-National), along with overexpansion, led to its demise in 1984. Notice the McDonnell Douglas Delta DC-8-61 on her gate in the lower left corner of this image. Interested in legendary Pan Am?

Did anybody manage to get over to Southport for the airshow this weekend? Anybody going to Farnborough? What about RIAT? Our CEO Jerrod Hartley has featured in the Aerospace Magazine Farnborough Edition, and it's well worth a read if you have a bit of time, and although he won't be in personal attendance at Farnborough, he will be down in Fairford for the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT 2024) at the end of the week. https://lnkd.in/ek-UQhJK An airshow is a great opportunity to stand back and appreciate why we do what we do. Seeing these great machines in action is impressive, but also an opportunity for reflection. It wasn't really that long ago since Wilbur and Orville Wright created the first successful heavier than air flying machine, the Wright Flyer, in 1903, where it achieved a powered flight of 59 seconds covering a distance of 259 metres. It's incredible how far we've come in a relatively short space of time, with modern aircraft with incredible safety and performance profiles. Take the Eurofighter Typhoon for example, which entered service way back in 2003, with some mightily impressive stats: Top speed - Mach 2.0 (approx. 1,550 mph) Ceiling - 55,000 feet Climb Rate - 0 to 36,000 feet in under 90 seconds Acceleration - subsonic to Mach 1.5 in under 30 seconds Thrust - 40,000 lb (equivalent to the weight of over 13 VW Golfs) So, here's to all the hard work, dedication, creative thinking, and human ingenuity that have driven our progress over the past several hundred years. Let's also toast to the future, where we will continue to push boundaries and overcome new challenges with the same dedication and vigour. While the challenges of the future may differ from those of the past, our approach remains steadfast and committed to innovation and excellence. What's your favourite aircraft and why?

Let’s play a little game. Can you tell to which aircraft from Comlux charter fleet this cockpit belongs? Hint: it’s one of these airplanes https://lnkd.in/d-We6p-Y #aviation #aircraft #aircharter #privatejetcharter

Vertical Aviation International praises the FAA for issuing a final rule for the qualifications, training, and operational requirements for pilots and instructors flying powered-lift aircraft, which introduces a new category of aircraft. This rule is the first completely new category of civil aircraft since helicopters were introduced in the 1940s and is a key step toward Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations (including air taxis and cargo delivery) becoming a reality in the US National Airspace System in the near future.

A risk assessment concerning towing of the aircraft should have been carried out and adequate control measures provided to prevent such accident.
