EAD, AD, and Biweekly ADs Moved Over to Dynamic Regulatory System

The FAA has announced the impending migration of Airworthiness Directives to the Dynamic Regulatory System, or DRS, that will result in all ADs being published on the new system from August 16th, 2022. Mind you; we're not sure what was wrong with the old system... the very same that nearly all of aviation was quite used to. The change will allow the administration to simplify the record keeping and dissemination of documents contained within its Regulatory Guidance Library.

USAF and USMC Partnerships Advance eVTOL

Joby Aviation, the California-based, Toyota-backed designer and builder of Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles, is expanding its existing contract with the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program—an initiative the service launched in 2020 to experiment, test, and generally hasten the development of eVTOL for cross commercial and military use.

Third-Down and 300-Million

The notion that tragedies occur in sets of three has been proved apocryphal. There is no “Rule of Threes;” but there ought to be. Since November 2021, aircraft carrier mishaps have sent a trio of NATO fighter jets—two of them highly-advanced F-35 Lightning II variants worth well over $230-million—to watery and opprobrious graves.

Aero Linx: International Air & Transportation Safety Bar Association (IATSBA) Originally founded in 1984 as the National Transportation Safety Board Bar Association, today’s International Air & Transportation Safety Bar Association (IATSBA) has grown to comprise attorneys from across the United States and other parts of the globe.  Many routinely practice before the United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). While the original focus of the group centered on representation of pilots and aviation businesses in regulatory, certificati

“Our end goal is, the United States of America is half men, half women. Well, space should be at least that... If we cannot make these spacecraft equitable, and we can’t fly any type of person on them, then we need to look at our systems and reevaluate.” Source: Reid Weisman, chief over the astronaut program, parroting the Biden Administration's politically correct rhetoric, seemingly placing as much emphasis on social engineering as aerospace engineering.
