The FAA has introduced a groundbreaking development in aviation. These "powered-lift" vehicles mark the first entirely new aircraft category since helicopters emerged in 1940. Designed for air taxis, cargo delivery, and rescue missions, these aircraft bring innovation to the skies. The recently published rules outline pilot training, operational requirements, and safety measures, setting standards for minimum altitudes and visibility.

FAA completes six-week audit of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems: results A six-week audit, carried out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems has discovered a number of safety issues. The audit was actioned by the FAA after Alaska Airlines flight 1282 suffered a rapid decompression when a left mid-cabin door plug separated from the aircraft at 16,000 feet on January 5, 2024.

Do you know what a NOTAM is? Any pilot will be able to tell you. It originally stood for Notice To Airmen, though today we prefer the more inclusive Notice To Air Mission or as the CAA refer to it, Notice to Aviation. These are important messages that all pilots need to be aware of before any flight or even during a flight, relating to weather, conditions and possible hazards etc. This is one of the reasons why we always take an iPad up with us to ensure we have access to the latest vital data in smaller craft that wouldn't otherwise have access to this information. Now, what do you think this notice is called when it contains an alert about snowy conditions? #NOTAM #learntofly #pilotknowledge #aviation #heligeek #rotorhead

Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes Final Rule Federal Aviation Administration press release link https://lnkd.in/dF6jNhJx The Federal Aviation Administration has published the final rule adopting permanent amendments and a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for a period of ten years to: facilitate the certification of powered-lift pilots, clarify operating rules applicable to operations involving a powered-lift, and finalize other amendments which are necessary to integrate powered-lift into the National Airspace System (NAS). In this final action, the FAA finalizes its alternate framework to stand-up initial groups of powered-lift pilots and flight instructors.
