Boeing completes plug door inspections of 40 grounded 737-9s requested by FAA Boeing has completed plug door inspections of 40 grounded 737 MAX 9 planes, a process that was requested by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The additional plug door checks were required by the FAA after the initial inspection and maintenance instructions proposed by Boeing did not provide enough data. Boeing must set out an “extensive and rigorous inspection and maintenance process” for approval by the FAA before any of the grounded 737 MAX-9 aircraft can return to service. On January 16, 2024, Boeing confirmed that Admiral Kirkland H. Donald, who spent eight years ensuring US nuclear-powered warships ran safely and effectively, will lead a review of Boeing’s Quality Management System for commercial aircraft. This came after the CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Stan Deal, set out a number of steps the planemaker would take to restore the trust of customers and the FAA. Measures include allowing 737 MAX operators to come into Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems factories for additional oversight inspections and bringing in an “outside party” to review its Quality Management System. The FAA has grounded a total of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9s, including 65 Alaska Airlines jets, after a plug door separated from an Alaska Airlines aircraft at just over 16,000 feet in the air. The incident occurred on January 5, 2024, shortly after takeoff from Portland International Airport (PDX) while flying to Ontario International Airport (ONT) in California. #aeronautique #aviation #avgeek #plane #aircraft #avion #ww #pilot #instaaviation #warbird #aeronautical #a #aviationphotography #aerospace #aviationlover #history #fanaviation

Hey connections 👋 Article about aviation Aviation includes the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as hot air balloons and airships. Aviation began in the 18th century with the development of the hot air balloon, an apparatus capable of atmospheric displacement through buoyancy. Some of the most significant advancements in aviation technology came with the controlled gliding flying of Otto Lilienthal in 1896; then a large step in significance came with the construction of the first powered airplane by the Wright brothers in the early 1900s. Since that time, aviation has been technologically revolutionized by the introduction of the jet which permitted a major form of transport throughout the world. The aviation industry encompasses almost all aspects of air travel and the activities that help to facilitate it. This means it includes the entire airline industry, aircraft manufacturing, research companies, military aviation, and much more. In this article, you will learn all you need to know about aviation and its industry. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking

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

✈️ More than half of all fatal accidents involving U.S. private pilots on general aviation (GA) flights in single-engine airplanes involved faulty aeronautical decision-making (ADM) practices, according to a study by researchers from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Their analysis covered a recent 29-year period.

The yet to be certified #Boeing 777-X is just one of the aircraft that will have to abide by new rules on carbon reduction set out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On February 20, 2024, the FAA confirmed that it had released a final rule to reduce carbon pollution emitted by most large airplanes flying in United States (US) airspace. Under the new rule, planes manufactured after January 1, 2028, must incorporate improved fuel-efficient technologies.

History of Commercial Airplanes! The history of commercial airplanes is filled with remarkable milestones, from the first flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903 to the development of the first jet airliner by the 1950s. We've witnessed groundbreaking achievements like the first scheduled flight in 1914, Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight in 1927, and the introduction of the Boeing 707 in 1957. Not to forget notable events such as Amelia Earhart's solo Atlantic flight in 1932 and the Concorde's first commercial flight in 1970. Fast forward to the present, with the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 revolutionizing air travel in the 2000s. As we look ahead, exciting prospects await, with the return of mainstream supersonic travel on the horizon. The future promises new milestones and innovations as we continue to push the boundaries of aviation. #AviationHistory #Innovation #FutureOfFlight

FAA extends Boeing 737 MAX 9 grounding indefinitely for new safety checks The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) extended the grounding of Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft indefinitely for new safety checks, with plans to tighten oversight of the US aerospace manufacturing giant. The move follows the recent incident involving an Alaska Airlines’ 737 MAX 9, wherein a cabin panel detached mid-flight, prompting the grounding of 171 aircraft for comprehensive safety checks.
