Register to be on NBAAs list of 135.299 Check Airmen. The Part 135 Subcommittee has developed a new registry where member operators and Part 135 check airmen can connect. This resource was developed in response to many Part 135 operators expressing difficulty in finding pilots who were authorized to perform the flight checking requirements of 135.299 of the FARs, a problem that became exponentially worse during COVID-19 work and travel restrictions. Operators who have authorization to use in-house check airmen can give back to the Part 135 community by encouraging their employees to conduct these flight checks for other operators who may not have the same authorizations. NBAA urges check airmen to sign up and provide contact information for operators seeking their assistance. Operators who are seeking to utilize this resource should check the landing page and save it for future reference. This is a great opportunity for check airmen to offer there services and for operators to get the necessary training. For operators unsure about using another operator’s check airman, FAA Order 8900, Volume 3, Chapter 20, Section 6, Paragraph 3-2-6-23 provides guidance for you and your POI on obtaining this approval. https://lnkd.in/gYiviH2N

✨ As a Woman Veteran, This Story Brings Me Joy ✨ (This one's for all the women in service and beyond) I recently came across a story that truly touched my heart and reminded me of the incredible journey we women veterans have undertaken. It's not just about the challenges we've faced, but the resilience, strength, and unity we've shown along the way. 🔹 Celebrating Milestones: Whether it's a promotion, a successful mission, or a personal achievement, each milestone is a testament to our hard work and dedication. 🔹 Building a Support Network: Connecting with fellow veterans has been a source of strength. We've shared stories, offered advice, and celebrated each other's successes. 🔹 Embracing New Opportunities: Post-service life can be a new adventure. From pursuing education to starting new careers, the possibilities are endless. 🔹 Giving Back: Volunteering and mentoring have allowed me to give back to the community and support the next generation of women leaders. This story is a reminder that our journey doesn't end with our service. It continues to evolve, and every step is worth celebrating. 💪 To all my fellow women veterans, what brings you joy? Share your stories and let’s inspire each other. #WomenVeterans #VeteranStories #Resilience #Empowerment #WomenInLeadership #VeteranSupport #PostServiceLife #WomenInService #Community #Inspiration #CelebrateSuccess #Mentorship #Leadership

Our human connection is so powerful.

A quick glance at commercial airline pilots and ship captain uniforms reveals some striking similarities. At the same time, commercial airline pilots' uniforms bear little resemblance to their military pilot uniform counterparts. In the earliest days, the opposite was true. Pilot uniforms have evolved over the years, but the largest change came in the 1930s when Pan Am introduced its transatlantic Clipper flying boats. #pilot #aircraft #privatejet #Bizav #businessaviation #airtravel #aviation #aviationindustry #avgeek #pilots

A great article by the Financial Times on the recent Boeing 737 Max, thr aircraft plagued with issues, incidents and accidents, one after the other. Tge NTSB found that the door was designed to open in rapid decompression situations, but no one in the flight crew knew. Now, why does that ring a bell? A few years has passed from the first Max incident and the MCAS fiasco, and a few incidents after, now this. Is this the death of Boeing as an industry leader? Is that the death of the B737 Max? I highly doubt it. However, when was the last time you heard of an Airbus incident? Or the Airbus CEO saying ‘oops, sorry, our mistake’? On the contrary, the industry as a whole has agreed that the amazing design of the A350 was a critical success factor in the survival of all the Japan Airlines’ passengers on January 2nd. Perhaps its time for the airlines and the B737 Max customers to intervene, for the public to intervene. The Federal Aviation Administration said that the grounded planes won’t return to service until it is deemed safe to do so. Lets hope they use the time and this opportunity of a clean near miss with the NTSB to truly find the root causes, the Swiss Cheese broken lines of defences.

Confusing explanation about this panel!! For a minute I was thinking that the NTSB would say that the panel was design to fall off in case of evacuation and so that could be possible. Wait for complete investigation before commenting on the actual cause but still quite questionable!!! Following some comment, I have to update the post and mention that the NTSB is talking about the cockpit access panel that is actually design to open in case of decompression. So now, why we talk about this cockpit panel instead of the cabin/fuselage panel (cause of the incident). Still confused.
