<strong>Analysis</strong>: The pilot was preparing for takeoff after the engine had been running for about 25 minutes. Before departing, he tested the carburetor heat and noted that it was functioning as expected.&nbsp;He applied power for takeoff and the engine accelerated &ldquo;strongly and smoothly.&rdquo; About 25-30 ft above the ground during the initial climb the engine suddenly lost about 1,000 rpm. The pilot elected to perform an off-field landing. He maneuvered to avoid a hedgerow and the airplane&nbsp;touched down in an in an area of high grass. During the landing sequence, the fuselage and right wing were substantially damaged.&nbsp;

King Schools continues its war on low-quality information, this time publishing a free course focused on Private Pilot Ground Reference Maneuvers. This course is lifted from the King&rsquo;s complete Private Pilot Maneuvers course and prepares students for their flight lessons by showing how to nail Turns Around a Point, Rectangular Patterns and S-Turns Across a Road to FAA checkride standards. It's a small sampling of the greater program, giving students a taste of what they'll get if they choose to go through the full King Course for their Private Pilot Ground School.

The landscape of personal aviation is experiencing a significant transformation with the confluence of the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Bill, Chevron deference, and the MOSAIC rule. These three elements are shaping the regulatory framework that governs personal aviation activities, impacting both industry stakeholders and enthusiasts alike. In this essay, we will explore how these factors intersect and influence the future of personal aviation.&nbsp;The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plays a crucial role in regulating and overseeing all aspects of civil aviation in the United States.

The TrueCourse Simulations display, located inside the Pilot Institute booth, showcases a new prototype for a mixed-reality simulator. They are expected to become available to the public in early 2025.&nbsp;Simulator technology has become increasingly popular in the flight training world. It allows students to build skills and confidence before ever stepping foot into an aircraft. It also fosters safer flying by replicating critical in-flight situations, including engine failures, fires, and emergency landings, and showing students how to respond. These aspects have been proven to create an overall more convenient and beginner-friendly training process.

Aura Aero has announced the opening of its first US facility in Embry-Riddle's Florida campus research park, a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to foster US production of the electric aircraft. Aura Aero had announced a partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University last year, but didn't make it sound as if they'd be going as far as making a new factory there. Aura Aero's US footprint will largely be used to produce, assemble, test, and eventually deliver on their ERA, a 19-seater hybrid electric commuter plane. So far, Aura has been busy enough selling its Integral sport plane from its factory in Toulouse, France, cutting their teeth on a simple, achievable aircr, strip, h2) ] from C:/inetpub/wwwroot/clients/aero-news.net/components/utils.cfc

Aerial Angels is a 501(c)(3) devoted to raising awareness, supporting survivors, and raising funds for breast cancer research.&nbsp;Through donations from several generous individual and corporate supporters, the organization received a Czchoslovakian-built Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros fighter jet which was then given its unique paint scheme and transformed into The Pink Jet. The pink color is easily-recognizable as the symbol of the fight against breast cancer and the tail displays the breast cancer support decal.&nbsp;The Pink Jet made its debut performance on the world stage at this year&rsquo;s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in front of record breaking attendance of 686,000 for the week-long, strip, h2) ] from C:/inetpub/wwwroot/clients/aero-news.net/components/utils.cfc

Kirby Chambliss always knew what he wanted to do with his life even as a young boy: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always wanted to be a pilot. There was nothing else I ever wanted to do. I just had to figure out how to do it,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;After the Saturday air show at EAA AirVenture, Chambliss was rewarded for his career as one of the top aerobatic performers in the world when he received the 2024 Bill Barber Award for Showmanship. The only surprise about the award is how long it took to be recognized. He is a five-time U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and as a member of the U.S. National Aerobatic Team he won 13 medals at World Aerobatic Championships.
