🛫 CERTIFICATION UPDATE | We're excited to share that we’ve received FAA certification to begin operating as an airline. By receiving our Part 135 Air Carrier & Operator Certificate, we are now allowed to begin operating aircraft commercially with airline partners like United Airlines once Midnight achieves its Type Certification. Here are the key takeaways: ✈️ We plan to begin using conventional aircraft now to refine our systems and procedures in advance of launching Midnight into service when we receive Midnight’s Type Certification 📲 We have now received both our Part 145 and Part 135 certificates from the Federal Aviation Administration, which are the two key operational certificates required from the FAA for us to be in a position to begin our air taxi operations when Midnight receives Type Certification https://lnkd.in/gRce2eJ7

Delta's fleet has changed a bit since 1929 - from Travel Air to A220. In our weekly newsletter, we showcase a glorious recommendation by one of our subscribers to look at airline fleets over time. What better airline to start with than an airline with a rich history of managing aircraft types? Delta Air Lines has nearly seen it all. In fact, the airline has seen slightly more than we’ve shown since we limited the fleets to passenger. They flew several freighter aircraft, including the Lockheed L-100 Hurcules, and multiple mail-only carriers. We had to stop somewhere. Look closely. This chart was painstakingly researched, hand-drawn, and prone to all the usual oversights. You may call them errors. We call them reasons for a scavenger hunt. Let us know what you find.

☆What is part 121 in aviation? Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 121 Certification allows a company to act as a scheduled airline.

I have no doubt that our customers, partner airlines United and JetBlue, APEX, GAMA, HAI, IFSA, NASAO, NATA, Mercatus, and NBAA will comment to support JSX on the proposed NPRM. I want to keep our retired airline captains who are mentors to our younger aviators, and help ensure operation safety and maturity. I am impressed with the desire, skill, knowledge of new hire pilots who arrive and PIC type rating qualify on the EMB135/145, but with less than the arbitrary 1500 hour requirement mandated by Part 121. I would match them up with any other airline pilot.

With the recent Alaska airline fiasco, this is a good time to consider where Boeing's 737 Max 9 is in operation #boeing737 #alaskaairlines #airlines #airtravel #safety 📝Highlights ➡ Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 loses door plug mid-flight, sparking safety concerns. ➡ Incident adds to Boeing's string of issues with the Max model. ➡ Previous Max 8 crashes killed 346 people, leading to global grounding. ➡ FAA orders immediate inspections of all 737 Max 9s with similar configuration. ➡ Over 200 Max 9s in operation across 9 airlines. ➡ Safety remains paramount as investigations and inspections proceed.

What happened to Alaska Airlines Flight 1282? What is going on at Boeing? In this special episode, Greg and John provide expert insight into the rapid decompression and inflight separation of an exit door panel on a Boeing 737-9 Max airplane. The Flight Safety Detectives dissect issues surrounding this incident and the regulatory response that is already happening. They discuss similar incidents, including United Airlines Flight 811 747 near Honolulu where a Boeing 747-122 lost a cargo door. John and Greg share details that aren’t being discussed in media coverage. They explain the mandatory AD that has been issued by the FAA. All US-registered 737 MAX 9 aircraft with this type of exit door must be grounded and inspected. The Max fuselage is made by Spirit and provided to Boeing. All the steps in the manufacturing process will be scrutinized as the NTSB investigation proceeds. This is the latest high profile aviation safety issue involving the 737 MAX. John talks about the inadequate number of quality inspectors and quality safeguards in the Boeing manufacturing process as a potential shortcoming that has led to the issues with the Max. Greg points to some fundamental organizational issues that need to be addressed. https://lnkd.in/gx_CgMz2 #aviation #safety #aviationindustry #aviationlovers #aviationnews

When it came out in 1933, this aircraft was a revolution in air transport. It was a streamlined monoplane of all-metal construction and had retractable gear, supercharged radial engines, variable-pitch propellors, and provisions for de-icing. With its lower drag, it was 50% faster than its contemporaries and carried 10 passengers and 3 crew (two pilots and a flight attendant). It could carry those passengers from San Francesco to New York in 19.5 hours as compared to the previous 27 hours. United Airlines was the first customer and only 75 were built; other airlines like TWA eventually opted for a different aircraft that carried more, went farther, and was faster. What was this aircraft and what was the one that eclipsed it? #lowdrag #airliners #props #deicing #monoplanes #aeronautics #aviationhistory #aviationhistoryanddoodles
