The CEO and Chairman of Porto Aviation Group encountered an emergency in his Risen 916iSV ultralight while attempting to set another new speed record. 

A bird strike may be to blame for the accident. Porto Risen 916iSV registered as I-X068, took off from Alzate Brianza Airport (ILB) at around 0715, while attempting to certify a new top airspeed of 450 km/h (243 kts). General Electric (GE) recently announced that its latest turboprop engine design, the Catalyst, has completed certification testing and received the FAA's nod of approval. The Catalyst is slated to make its operational debut with the new Beechcraft Denali next year. The engine manufacturer unveiled its plan to design an Advanced Turboprop (ATP) nearly 10 years ago. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has announced a plan to "supercharge" hiring at the FAA Academy. The initiative aims to speed up the hiring process, increase salaries, and attract more applicants. The program was unveiled during a visit to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City.
