Daher Completes Its Acquisition Of The Stuart, Florida Aerostructures Production Facility

Daher is crowing about a major expansion of its U.S. industrial presence by acquiring the metallic and composite aerostructures assembly facility in Stuart, Florida, reinforcing the company’s position as a Tier 1 supplier for aircraft manufacturers in North America and beyond -- and you can just imagine all the ways that Daher can utilize this capability. The completion of this acquisition from TRIUMPH brings Stuart’s approximately 400 employees into Daher’s Industry Division – which already is a major supplier of complex aerostructures for leading airframers.

Substantial Number Of Crewed A/C Operations... Seemingly Ignore, Including Ultralights, Backcountry Flying, Seaplanes, And Rotorcraft

EAA has submitted written comments following a recent public meeting on an Advisory and Rulemaking Committee (ARC) final report that provides recommendations to the FAA regarding the integration of beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations by UAS into national airspace. Current Part 107 rules only allow BVLOS operations if the operator applies for a waiver from the FAA; otherwise, all drone operations must be visual line of sight.

From 2017 (YouTube Version): Canadian Pilots Open Up To Aero-News At AirVenture…

Canada has had a privatized Air Traffic Control System for some time. With the debate raging over privatization in the US, Aero-News stringer Maxine Scheer caught up with some Canadian GA pilots at AirVenture to ask them what it was like to fly under such a system. EAA Canadian Council member, Ian Brown, told Scheer that they don't notice that it is a privatized system at all. "We get a bill once a year, and my bill for my RV is $68 per year for all Air Traffic Control services," Brown said.

MQ-25 To Be The World’s First Operational Carrier-Based Unmanned Aircraft To Provide An Aerial Refueling

The Navy’s Unmanned Carrier Aviation program office (PMA-268) conducted its first lab integration event June 28-30 at Pax River to demonstrate how the MQ-25's Ground Control Station (GCS) will command the unmanned aircraft in the carrier environment. The government team and its two prime industry partners led the effort at the program’s System Test and Integration Lab (STIL), where Lockheed Martin's GCS controlled Boeing's Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) air vehicle for the first time.

Maneuvered Briefly Southeast Of Monee And Became Established On A West Course Before Entering A Descent

On June 24, 2022, about 1518 central daylight time, a Glasair II FT airplane, N350CP, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Monee, Illinois. The pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) data revealed the flight departed Lansing Municipal Airport (IGQ) at 1505. The pilot proceeded southwest and climbed to an altitude of 3,000 ft mean sea level (msl).

AD 2022-14-02 Requires The Replacement Of Certain HPT Stage 1 Disks And A Stages 610 Compressor Rotor Spool

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain CFM International, S.A. LEAP-1A23, LEAP-1A24, LEAP-1A24E1, LEAP-1A26, LEAP-1A26CJ, LEAP1A26E1, LEAP-1A29, LEAP-1A29CJ, LEAP-1A30, LEAP-1A32, LEAP-1A33, LEAP-1A33B2, and LEAP-1A35A (LEAP-1A) model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by a manufacturer investigation that revealed that certain high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor stage 1 disks (HPT stage 1 disks) and a stages 6-10 compressor rotor spool were manufactured from material suspected to contain iron inclusion.

Procedure Turn The maneuver prescribed when it is necessary to reverse direction to establish an aircraft on the intermediate approach segment or final approach course. The outbound course, direction of turn, distance within which the turn must be completed, and minimum altitude are specified in the procedure. However, unless otherwise restricted, the point at which the turn may be commenced and the type and rate of turn are left to the discretion of the pilot.

“ADS-B is a traffic management technology, not a reliable system for collision avoidance, and TABS has yet to even be fielded in a meaningful way... Even if they were viable options for all low-altitude operators — and they are not — the prospect of a drone literally having the right of way over human life is simply unconscionable. EAA absolutely supports the safe integration of UAS into the airspace, but general aviation will not foot the bill for these commercial interests from a safety, access, or cost standpoint.” Source: Sean Elliott, EAA vice president of advocacy and safety, discussing the EAA reraction to a recent public meeting on an Advisory and Rulemaking Committee (ARC) final report that provides re
