Airborne Affordable Flyers 03.13.25: Risen Update, Titan's New Home, KISM Revolt

Also: Chute Failure, Skydiver Manual, AirVenture 2025 Update, 2025 SnF Innovation Preview Is On The Way!

As previously reported, a Risen Superveloce (SV) flying from Alzate Brianza Airport in Italy to Valtellina Valley on a test flight to replicate previous high performance technical testing, when it was apparently struck by a bird resulting in significant damage to the windscreen and subsequent injuries to pilot Alberto Porto, forcing him to deploy the airframe parachute which brought the aircraft to a safe landing. 

Air Cover Engineering, which acquired Titan Aircraft’s assets in December, recently announced that it will soon be breaking ground on a new production facility. The build hopes to get T-51 and Tornado kit orders back up and running with improved efficiency and quality. After months of pushback from local pilots and aviation groups, the Kissimmee City Commission officially approved landing fees for Kissimmee Gateway Airport (KISM) on December 20, 2024. Even with the fees in place, however, the community refuses to let the decision slide. The charges took effect on February 1, 2025, requiring pilots to pay $3 per 1,000 pounds for fixed-wing aircraft and a flat $20 for helicopters. Despite overwhelming opposition from the pilot community, the commission locked in a three-year contract with Vector Airport Systems to handle billing—at a 15% commission, of course. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
