Vertical Aviation International praises the FAA for issuing a final rule for the qualifications, training, and operational requirements for pilots and instructors flying powered-lift aircraft, which introduces a new category of aircraft. This rule is the first completely new category of civil aircraft since helicopters were introduced in the 1940s and is a key step toward Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations (including air taxis and cargo delivery) becoming a reality in the US National Airspace System in the near future.

It’s here! Now, I have not read the nearly 800 pages yet, but this has been long awaited. Would love to start the discussion on the pros and cons with comments below!

A famous quote among aviators is; "The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire". The pilot of a Beechcraft King Air found out that the combustion in his engines stopped when he didn't have enough fuel, on the 10th of June 2013. An emergency landing was the result. In this week's aviation history blog, the accident is the subject of the short read, which includes the full TSB report with all the details.

Charting the Skies on World Pilot's Day: Saluting the skill and dedication of pilots worldwide. Their expertise ensures our journeys soar high and safely. To all my fellow aviators, keep navigating with excellence. ???? #WorldPilotsDay

At Avionica, flight safety is job one.

???Hi there, fellow Aviators ??The Boeing 747 symbolize luxury and comfort in the skies thats one of the reasons we call the b747 "QUEEN OF THE SKIES!" ??LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IN THE COMMENT BELOW! "Long before Facebook, mobile phones or Netflix, Boeing pushed the boundaries of flight with the 747, and years later it’s still the Queen of the skies." ??Also did you know Boeing 747 paved the way for long-haul travel! ???Before it, most flights required a stopover for refueling. ??Training is an investment not a cost! #aviet #aviation #engineers #easa #B787 #aircraft #maintenanace #training?

This article is fantastic - but what really stands out are the unresolved issues of categorization. As full authority fly-by-wire becomes ever more common, and alternative flight control schemes are introduced to enhance safety of flight, it’s my belief that we need to move beyond the external characteristics of an aircraft, and think about categories aligned with human-machine interface similarities. Performance based airworthiness rules like Part 23, SC-VTOL, and AC 21.17-4 have proven themselves to be flexible enough to support almost all small aircraft - perhaps there is room for consolidation here, as well - supported by differentiated means of compliance. Some quotes to consider: “It looks a bit like what would happen if a regular helicopter and an airplane merged into a single aircraft” “At 220 knots, half of the lift comes from the rotor, and half from the wing,” “When it’s cruising forward in a specific speed range—between 180 and 190 knots—the pilots can shut off one of the engines, saving fuel.” Regulation (EU) No?1178/2011: “rotorcraft” means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft that depends principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by up to two rotors; (8b) “vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)-capable aircraft (VCA)” means a power-driven, heavier-than-air aircraft, other than aeroplane or rotorcraft, capable of performing vertical take-off and landing by means of lift and thrust units used to provide lift during take-off and landing;’; 14 CFR 1.1: Airplane means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air, that is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings. Helicopter means a rotorcraft that, for its horizontal motion, depends principally on its engine-driven rotors Rotorcraft means a heavier-than-air aircraft that depends principally for its support in flight on the lift generated by one or more rotors. Powered-lift means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical takeoff, vertical landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on nonrotating airfoil(s) for lift during horizontal flight.

Fact: Flying a helicopter is significantly more challenging than flying an airplane and we understand that. That’s why we started our accelerated Rotor Transition Program (RTP). When service members overseas need close air support, infil/exfil, medical transport or resupply most of the time it’s the “angels in the sky” who answer the call. ???? So helping America’s rotorcraft aviators make the jump successfully isn’t just a “nice to have” aspect of our business, it is a sacred duty which we take very seriously at Learn 2 Fly CT. We’ve been proud to have many Vets train with us and we want to help you! Come to our Veteran owned school and train in three large Class B airspaces. Get the real world experience you just can’t find at a small airport. We understand how to make the process quick and easy. We also offer Credentialing Assistance to our Army Veterans. Work hard and you will leave here overly prepared for the airlines. We guarantee it. Stop watching your friends holding those CJOs. This is YOUR time! Make your move and join this industry while the airlines are hiring record numbers of “fling wing” pilots by adding some “stuck wing” to your logbook today! ?? ?? ??
