This isn't suspicious at all https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dean-of-boeing-supplier-spirit-aerosystems-has-died/

Is there lead in their drinking water? Tower built on a superfund site? Tower controller's wife ran away with a single piston owner? I have never seen such a level of spite and unprofessionalism directed at GA piston aircraft in my life. Makes Chicago Approach look good by comparison. Some...

Currently my primary and back-up destinations in Ohio and Indiana are forecasting a 50% layer at 26k, trending upwards in the past few hours. I'll probably still make the trip and be prepared to change locations on short notice, watching satellite weather loops to see what looks better. If you...

Boeing boss Dave Calhoun will leave at the end of this year amid a deepening crisis over the firm's safety record. Boeing also said that the head of its commercial airlines division will retire immediately while its chairman will not stand for re-election...

Will you be traveling to see the eclipse? GA flying, commercial flying or driving? Or none? Curious to see how interested we all are in this event. If flying GA, do you plan on taking other people with you? Share your plans (no need to disclose the destination if you want to keep it quiet over...

No idea what it might be

You might think this is the most clickbaity headline ever, and I wouldn't blame you a bit. That was my reaction. Apparently people were doing some crazy experiments in the 50s. This video might be worth a quick watch if you have any interest in radar/microwave tech, or if you're just as...

I've been looking at some of the high-profile piston single mishaps caused by some form of powerplant failure not related to lack of fuel (or fuel mismanagement). While there aren't that many of them, the consequences are usually not pretty. This question keeps coming back in my head almost...

Some years ago I found the picture below (can't even remember where). Thought it was a photoshop or some RC plane photographed at the right angle. Found it again recently and decided to do an image search for it. Not only I was able to find the name of the pilot involved in this mishap, but a...

Post aicraft pictures in this thread. We definitely have some pros on this board, and I'm sure there are a lot of enthusiasts as well. Doesn't have to be your aicraft, but it must be a picture you took. Can be only a part of the aircraft, emphasizing a specific detail, but it must still be...

Looks like they pulled the plug on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/27/technology/apple-ends-electric-car-plan.html

KZHU !FDC 4/6204 ZHU TX..AIRSPACE LAREDO, TX..TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS. PURSUANT TO 14 CFR SECTION 91.145, MANAGEMENT OF ACFT OPS IN THE VICINITY OF AERIAL DEMONSTRATIONS AND MAJOR SPORTING EVENTS, ACFT OPS ARE PROHIBITED WI AN AREA DEFINED AS 5NM RADIUS OF 273224N0992743W (LRD318004.4)...

Question for the CFIs here (but not limited to them), what is your method for teaching turns around a point (and S-turns) in a low wing? On a high wing you can usually place the reference point on (or in the vicinity) of the main gear, but on a low wing your reference point is obscured by the...

Not much of a mishap, pax door fell off (there's a "the front fell off" joke in there somewhere), but the registered owner entity name made me chuckle. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/351676

Smashed hard into the ground, but occupants survived. ADS-B trace has the 757 passing them as it lands on the upwind runway. Looks like the winds were light from the west at the time, could potentially push the vortices towards the LSA. Any opinions from the controllers here? Tracks here...

Goodyear, AZ. No injuries. That is one calm/cool CFI. Almost cheerful while announcing an engine failure. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/351611

Now that I got your attention... If I were king (FAA Administrator) for a day, I'd probably institute some sort of certificate action against pilots being caught butchering the English language that way. Multiple levels of suspensions, based on how many of these you manage to include in one...

I've seen logbook entries and people posting on forums (this included) with the claim that their engine doesn't make any metal. I'm having trouble believing that is 100% accurate. Is it just a case of people looking at the filter, seeing a few specs and dismissing that as normal wear and tear...
