1 day 20 hours 30 minutes agoThe House Subcommittee on Aviation met on Tuesday for a hearing about aviation's impact on the environment. Noise and emissions from aviation are expected to double by 2025, the panel said, so aggressive action is needed soon to prevent that scenario. Gerald Dillingham, speaking for the U.S. Government Accountability Office, told the panel that NextGen developments will improve efficiency, but more funding is needed for research into better technology. National Air Transportation Association (NATA) President James Coyne also testified at the hearing. NetJets, a member of NATA, is investing in the development of an ultra-low-emissions jet fuel, Coyne said. Several representatives of the airline industry noted that given the cost of fuel, the industry is doing all it can to improve efficiency.From feed: AVWebCourt Finds ATC At Fault For Fatal Helicopter Crash
1 day 20 hours 30 minutes agoA federal judge in California said this week that air traffic controllers at the Torrance Municipal Airport made a critical mistake in November 2003, resulting in the collision of two helicopters in flight. The NTSB report, issued last May, found the surviving pilot, a student flying an R22 solo, had caused the crash, by failing to comply with an ATC clearance. Two men in a Robinson R44 helicopter on a training flight died when it crashed to the runway and exploded. The R22 pilot survived with serious injuries. The judge said the two controllers involved "failed to issue clear and concise instructions" to the pilots and acted "negligently and carelessly," the L.A. Times reported on Wednesday. The two pilots were maneuvering in the traffic pattern above parallel runways and were in positions where neither pilot could see the other when ATC reportedly told one of the pilots to turn, putting the two aircraft on a collision course, the Times said. The NTSB final report says the R22 pilot crossed runway 29R, where the controller had directed him to land, and was heading toward 29L when the collision occurred.From feed: AVWebSummer Aviation Events Gearing Up
1 day 20 hours 30 minutes agoPilots in search of an aviation destination for summer have plenty to choose from. This week, the FAA published instructions for pilots flying into Oshkosh for EAA AirVenture, July 28 to August 3. The NOTAM takes effect starting July 25, and outlines procedures for arrival and departure. There have been some major changes since last year, EAA says, so be sure to check. "Besides following the published arrival and departure procedures in the AirVenture NOTAM, pilots should maintain high vigilance in watching for other aircraft," adds EAA. "Pilots are expected to have a copy of the NOTAM available for in-flight reference." Also coming up soon -- the annual AOPA fly-in and open house at their headquarters in Frederick, Md., on June 7. The free event features 100 aviation exhibitors, 40 aircraft on display, safety seminars, and tours of the HQ.From feed: AVWebIndustry Dismayed By FAA Funding Snag
1 day 20 hours 30 minutes agoThe FAA funding bill under consideration in the Senate has stalled, bringing dismay to GA advocates who had been momentarily heartened by this latest version's lack of user fees. Partisan politics are to blame, says EAA. "We're deeply disappointed, but will continue to push for procedural opportunities to move the bill forward through the Senate," said Doug Macnair, EAA vice president of government relations. "This could mean extended and protracted continuing resolutions, leaving unresolved the questions of user fees and how the FAA will be funded ... This also continues to jeopardize airport improvement funds and other programs vital for general aviation and the entire aviation industry." Ed Bolen, president of the National Business Aviation Association, said he's hopeful the compromise to settle for a GA fuel tax instead of user fees will survive this latest delay, and a bill will be passed in this session.From feed: AVWebNew GA Fuel Promises Better Range, Lower Cost
1 day 20 hours 45 minutes ago"Not only can our fuel seamlessly replace the aviation industry's standard petroleum fuel [100LL], it can outperform it," says John Rusek, a professor at Purdue University and co-founder of Swift Enterprises. The company recently unveiled a new general aviation fuel that it says will be less expensive, more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendlier than any on the market. Unlike other alternative fuels, Rusek said, SwiftFuel is made of synthetic hydrocarbons that are derived from biomass, and it can provide an effective range greater than 100LL, while costing about half as much to produce. "Our fuel should not be confused with first-generation biofuels like E-85 [85 percent ethanol], which don't compete well right now with petroleum," Rusek said. Patented technology can produce the 1.8 million gallons per day of fuel used by GA in the U.S. by using just 5 percent of the existing biofuel plant infrastructure, the company said.From feed: AVWebCessna Flies First CJ4, First Production SkyCatcher
1 day 21 hours 0 minutes agoCessna's new Citation CJ4 business jet prototype flew for the first time on Monday in Wichita, the company said. "We tested quite a number of the systems on the aircraft, including the autopilot, and all performed very well," said Cessna test pilot Dan Morris, who flew the jet for nearly two and a half hours. "The FADECs operated just as we expected, and along with the four displays of the Pro Line 21, this is a very pilot-friendly aircraft. Operators will transition easily into the CJ4." Cessna also announced on Monday that it has flown the first production model of the SkyCatcher for the first time. It flew for a half hour on May 1, about two months after the first flight of the first prototype of the airplane. Cessna said it plans to add one more aircraft to the test fleet.From feed: AVWebAirbus Abandons Site Sale In France

1 week 1 day 17 hours 26 minutes agoDALLAS, May 01, 2008 - Armed with new research and a new advertising agency, Flexjet hones its communications strategy to demystify fractional jet ownership for today’s “discerning affluents”. Challenging the stereotypical perceptions of private jet ownership as a frivolous extravagance of the wealthy, Flexjet, the fractional business jet ownership program of Bombardier Aerospace, is veering from the standard course of industry marketing and launching a new multi-million dollar advertising campaign identifying private jets as tools that enhance productivity and quality of life, not just glamorous toys for the wealthy. The new campaign, which launches May 1, 2008, is the first from Flexjet’s new advertising agency, Team One, a division of Saatchi & Saatchi. It speaks directly to discerning affluents—leaders and entrepreneurs with a strong work ethic and values rooted in the middle class. Discerning affluents appreciate good value, quality, authenticity, flexibility and productivity. Gone are the perfunctory category images of opulent settings, privileged jet-setters, blue skies and sunsets. In its place are incisive graphic images with copy that speaks candidly about private jet travel and leverages Flexjet’s unique aviation expertise with “straight talk from plane people.”From feed: SkycontrolFinal Assembly Begins on Fifth Boeing 787 Dreamliner: Third Flight-Test Airplane Loaded into First Position
