Airborne 10.02.24: Piper Wing Spar NPRM, Gogo Buys Satcom, Deadstick Drug Bust

Also: Former FAA Contractor Indicted, SpaceX Grounds Falcon, Buh-Bye KC-10, Sustainable Aviation Caucus

The FAA has issued an NPRM that will expand the models of Piper aircraft that are subject to the AD adopted by the FAA in January 2021. 

The AD requires wing spar cap inspections and was prompted by an accident involving wing separation on a Piper Model PA-28R-201 Arrow III. The issue is primarily found in aircraft used in flight training and other aircraft used predominantly in high-load flight regimes. Gogo Business Aviation has acquired Satcom Direct. This builds a more flexible service range by establishing an all-encompassing in-flight connectivity provider for business aviation. Satcom Direct will be receiving a $375 million cash payment plus five million shares of Gogo stock once the deal closes. Over the next four years, the agreement includes up to $225 million extra for performance threshold milestones. A Piper Cherokee executed an emergency landing on State Route 76 in Oceanside, California on September 26. Though the pilot and passenger were both unharmed, a search of the aircraft led to them being arrested for suspected drug trafficking. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
