The FAA has formally designated several internal staff roles to support the agency’s effort to coordinate with other aviation stakeholders and telecommunications industry counterparts as part of work being done to minimize the safety risk of new 5G C-band service.
The air navigation service providers of the UK and Canada are to abolish the use of the North Atlantic Organized Track Structure (OTS) for flights below FL330 (33,000 ft.) from March 1.
The EU’s transport ministers have issued a declaration that they hope sets the stage for a long-term aspirational goal on aviation sustainability to be adopted at the ICAO Assembly in September.
U.S. trade associations have called on the FAA to step up its process of clearing helicopters and business aviation aircraft to operate near 5G wireless transmitters now that mainline passenger airliners have gained the necessary approvals.
Revamped runway safety zone parameters and a just-launched flight-test program are seen as keys to establishing both short-term and permanent fixes to the 5G wireless challenges facing aviation and telecommunications companies.
The FAA has released guidance for pilots and operators planning to attend Super Bowl LVI, scheduled for Feb. 13, 2022, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The FBI and a federal interagency committee are scrutinizing Chinese investment in Icon Aircraft and its A5 light sport amphibious aircraft, amid allegations of
The performance study calculated the airplane’s airspeed to be 240 kt. when the roll began, and its roll rate to be 5 deg. per second. This roll rate was significantly less than the roll rate achieved during flight test of the Tamarack Atlas system.
The task of trying to understand what caused the roll of a Cessna 525A and why the pilot failed to recover from it took the National Transportation Safety Board almost three years. In the end, they were able to provide only partial answers.
Additional features to enhance the educational experience of learning about meteorological and human factors challenges of aviation operations in the alpine environment.
A NASA-funded team is working to connect airborne and cloud-based flight management systems to enable better real-time trajectory optimization and airspace management for advanced air mobility and commercial aviation.
Is it possible to reduce the risk involved with mountain flying training while simultaneously improving aeronautical decision-making in this unforgiving environment?
The aviation and telecommunications industries need a “stronger, more systemic” means of collaboration to prevent conflicts over potential interference from new 5G wireless networks, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said.
AT&T and Verizon Wireless have agreed to limit deployment of their new 5G C-band services around some of the busiest U.S. commercial airports, acquiescing to a last-minute plea by major airlines so that aviation stakeholders can further quantify potential safety risks to radio altimeters and related systems.
