Says No Interference From Their Equipment, Safe for Instruments

Gogo Business Aviation released a short statement, commenting on recent FAA activities that aim to warn operators and pilots about possible instrument interference resulting from 5G network rollout across the country. Gogo says their network is perfectly safe for flight operations, because their equipment uses frequencies outside the range of overlap with aircraft radio altimeters. As the simmering dispute between network operators, the FCC, and the FAA continues, the tenuous pause in the cellular development race for faster internet service leaves some 5G network advocates exasperated by the delays.

AD 2021-23-03 Prompted By A Report Of Cracking Found On A Main Landing Gear (MLG) Drag Strut Assembly

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-400, -401, and -402 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of cracking found on a main landing gear (MLG) drag strut assembly. This AD requires a records review to determine if an affected MLG drag strut assembly is installed, repetitive detailed inspections for cracking of affected strut assemblies, a one-time magnetic particle inspection for cracking, and on-condition actions if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective December 6, 2021.
