New R66s Also Have A Headset Audio Alert For High Torque Or High Gas Temperature

Few aviation environments can make use of visual and aural warnings as readily as can a rotorcraft... starting with the all-important low-rotor (RPM) warning, to all manner of cautions that can help a pilot stay on the right side of physics. To those of us flying, and teaching, in rotorcraft for the past few decades, there simply aren't many times when too much information, audio warnings included, becomes a problem. Recent updates to onboard instruments and audio systems have allowed Robinson to incorporate enhanced audio alerts across its model lineup.

Amazing Accident Resulted In No Fatalities

National Transportation Safety Board investigators continue to gather information about Wednesday’s mid-air collision involving a Cirrus SR-22 airplane and a Swearingen Metroliner airplane near Centennial Airport, Denver. No one was injured when the Swearingen Metroliner, operated by Key Lime Air, and a Cirrus SR-22 rented, from Independence Aviation, collided as the planes were landing at Centennial Airport. The NTSB Investigator-in-Charge for this accident has interviewed both pilots, and an NTSB air traffic control specialist has listened to recordings from air traffic control. Interviews of the controllers working with the Cirrus and Metroliner pilots are planned.

AD 2021-10-20 Prompted By Reports Of Temporary Loss Of All Display Units

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Regional Model ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of temporary loss of all display units and the integrated electronic standby instrument (IESI). This AD requires revising the existing aircraft flight manual (AFM) and applicable corresponding operational procedures to update a systems limitation, limiting dispatch with certain equipment inoperative, performing an operational test of a certain contactor and an electrical test of a certain battery toggle switch, and corrective actions if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agenc

AD 2021-09-16 Requires Revising The Existing Airplane Flight Manual

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-100-1A10 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of a number of low altitude engine surge incidents during takeoff. This AD requires revising the existing airplane flight manual and applicable corresponding operational procedures to provide the flightcrew with procedures to require the engine bleeds to be ON during takeoff. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD becomes effective June 1, 2021.

“I loved being able to talk to one of my fellow squadron pilots as they were overhead looking for me. I couldn’t stop thinking about how much more difficult this would be if I had really ejected and sustained injuries. I can imagine how uplifting it would feel to hear one of your own squadron’s jets overhead and hear your friends’ voices on the radio.” Source: Captain Daniel Tolbert, one of the simulated downed pilots that participated in a joint Marine/JASDF Search and Rescue exercise.
