Airborne 02.16.15: FAA Proposes UAV Regs, Red Bull Races!, Enstrom TH180 Flies

During a special press briefing held yesterday morning, the FAA announced the proposed framework for new regulations that will address the operation of unmanned aerial systems.

This briefing was an overview of the proposed regulation and did not detail the exact wording that will appear in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. After a 2014 season they’d like to forget, two American pilots, Kirby Chambliss and Michael Goulian, came into the season opener of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in Abu Dhabi eager for the winds of change. And, in fact, the winds over the Arabian Gulf wreaked havoc with the field in Friday’s Qualifying, leaving Chambliss with the fourth-best time, while Goulian, who is breaking in a brand-new race plane finished a respectable seventh in the elite group of 14 pilots. Enstrom Helicopter’s TH180 took its first flight earlier this month. In a very brief announcement, the company said the ground and flight test took about an hour, and that flight speed and maneuvers were "remarkable." Enstrom plans to release more details at HeliEXPO next month, and will have the aircraft on display. When it was introduced at the event in 2014, the company said it was designed with the student in mind. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
