VectorHow to plan a safe departure from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh: read the FAA notice, fly your assigned track, and beat summer weather and fatigue.
TowerThe FAA is moving to preempt state labor laws on crew rest, arguing federal uniformity under Part 117 is the appropriate safety standard for airline crews.
TowerSaudia Airlines formally denied reports it sold five Boeing 777s to sanctioned Iranian carrier Mahan Air, a transaction that would carry serious U.S. federal enforcement consequences.
TowerGPS spoofing is actively corrupting ADS-B surveillance data in live certificated airspace, creating false position pictures that controllers and pilots may have no immediate way to detect.
VectorThe 2002 Überlingen collision killed 71 people when one crew followed ATC instead of their TCAS RA - a failure of training, not technology.
VectorUnder Airbus Normal Law, the flight computer prevents pilots from commanding a stall or exceeding structural limits - here is what that means for safety, authority, and pilot skill.
VectorCockpit weather displays show radar data that is 5–15 minutes old - a gap that can be fatal when navigating convective weather.
VectorThe 2009 crash of Air France 447 revealed how cockpit automation can erode the manual skills pilots need most when automated systems fail.
VectorMalaysia has extended Ocean Infinity's MH370 search contract through 2027, marking the thirteenth year of aviation's most consequential unsolved disappearance.
TowerThe F-16's Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System has saved multiple pilots from certain death since 2014 - and its technology may reshape civilian aviation safety.
