Also: Louisville UPS Crash Aftermath, Taiwan Boosts Pilot Pool, Spartan Acquires, DON’T MISS the MOSAIC Town Hall!

This three-day Affordable Flying Expo brings together indoor exhibits, flying demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and one of the first major public forums dedicated to the newly implemented MOSAIC rule. What truly sets this expo apart is the dedication of the vendors — the aircraft designers, kit-builders, avionics specialists, flight-training schools and parts suppliers — who are rallying around the theme of affordable aviation in a MOSAIC world. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned on November 4 that, if the government shutdown continues into next week, “mass chaos” will hit US air travel… and the DOT will be forced to make changes. His remarks were the strongest warning yet from the administration as thousands of unpaid controllers continue working under mounting strain. President Donald

The Experienced Pilot Chose To Operate In Instrument Meteorological Conditions Without An Instrument Flight Rules Clearance

Analysis: The airplane was operated on a personal cross-country flight. Recorded data indicated that the airplane made an approach to an airport but did not land and the airplane apparently diverted due to the instrument meteorological weather conditions (IMC) present at that airport. The airplane then flew toward another airport about 60 nautical miles away. The airplane was aligned with the extended runway centerline but impacted trees and terrain about 2.5 miles from the diversion airport. The weather conditions at the diversion airport were night IMC with a 400-ft ceiling.

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): An Even Faster Rolling Extra!

Jim Campbell joined General Manager of Extra Aircraft Duncan Koerbel at AirVenture 2023 to talk about what’s up and coming from the classic aerobatic manufacturer. The Extra 330SX builds upon the excellent 330SE to offer pilots an even leaner, tighter dancing partner than before. The 330SX recipe includes a shorter wingspan (about a foot less, tip-to-tip), and the same full-length ailerons as its forebear, offering even better roll rate and performance than ever before. Top it off with lightweight, function-dense glass panel avionics and it’s a superb companion for pilots with the skill to make the most of the machine.

Aero Linx: The Great War Aviation Society Over the past 50 years, we’ve built a thriving community of over 1,000 members based in over 25 countries around the world. The Great War Aviation Society is a registered charity (1117741) dedicated to researching, preserving and sharing information about this trailblazing era in global aviation. We’re always eager to hear from new members and welcome people of all backgrounds – from First World War academics to modellers, enthusiasts, and family tree researchers.

Middle Marker A marker beacon that defines a point along the glideslope of an ILS normally located at or near the point of decision height (ILS Category I). It is keyed to transmit alternate dots and dashes, with the alternate dots and dashes keyed at the rate of 95 dot/dash combinations per minute on a 1300 Hz tone, which is received aurally and visually by compatible airborne equipment.
