Airborne 05.08.23: eSPRG First Look, 5G Deadline, Lufthansa v PW

Also: Air India Pilot Woos, Pilatus PC-12 Milestone, NBAA v DC Think Tank Nonsense, F22 v Ballon Redux

The next-generation, all digital SportPlane Resource Guide is slowly getting ready for its public unveiling and the result is looking really good! 

The MOST comprehensive book EVER undertaken about all things sport aviation, the newest version expands the last version’s 1100 pages to what appears to be some 2000 pages... at least. The digital capabilities mean that the eSPRG will also add video, audio, webinars and very frequent newsletters to the mix. The looming deadline to install compliant navigational equipment won't be extended, according to DoT Secretary Pete Buttigieg... who apparently values cell phones more than aviation safety. The rule requires aircraft to have updated radio altimeters that can safely operate accurately even in the vicinity of newly released 5G networks. Days after Indian ultra-low-cost airline Go First grounded its Airbus A320neo fleet, German flag-carrier Lufthansa announced on Thursday, 04 May 2023 that it would temporarily ground one-third of its Zurich subsidiary’s Airbus A220 fleet, citing issues with the aircrafts’ Pratt & Whitney engines. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
