The FAA Provides Status “'Updates' at AirVenture

In Other Words, Nothing New

Day 4 of EAA’s Oshkosh AirVenture featured an underwhelming conference from Federal Aviation Administration leadership, thanks to a surprise absence of Administrator Michael Whitaker. In his place was Deputy Administrator Katie Thomson, who took the stage for a little too much presentation, and not enough Q&A for the usual AirVenture crowd. It's no surprise that the biggest event in hobby aviation is just about the only time in the year the that so many pilots can actually talk to the theoretical buck-stop that sits atop the FAA's org chart, so Whitaker's absence was sorely felt by those with specific concerns only a head honcho could tackle. That's not to belittle Thomson's work by any means, but to a grumpy

Exhibition of the METS Nets Some Quick Sales of Mission-Ready King Airs

Textron must have seen some success thanks to their nice little King Air 260 display model at the Farnborough International Airshow, since they capped off their exhibition there with a sale for 3 cargo craft to the Scottish Ambulance Service. It's a little fortuitous how Textron showed up to Farnborough with a new Special Mission King Air in tow, hoping to drum up awareness of the type's wide mission capabilities. The order will see the delivery of 3 cargo door Beechcraft King Air 360Cs some time next year, helping to support the buyer, Gama Aviation UK Limited, in their mission to support the Scottish Ambulance Service. The SAS provides airborne medevac to the mainland and it

Appareo Now Shipping New Stratus Power Max

Twin 30-Watt Ports Offer USB-C Performance in Small Form Factor

A new charging option for aircraft owners has entered the scene courtesy of Appareo, offering dual USB-C ports for up to 60 watts of charging power. That's good news for those who like to work on the road, since 30 watts at each port is perfect for fast charging phones, tablets, and even some energy-efficient laptops. The new Stratus Power Max is FAA TSO-C71 Certified, with extra safety mechanisms built in on the back end. That's good news for operators who can't always vet their passenger's devices - and sloppy quality control abroad has made more than a few trinkets that could cause an issue. That's no problem for the Power Max, since it's got protection from overcurrent, overvoltag
