A process that displayed some of the worst Washington dirty tricks (particularly in regards to the deplorable actions and behaviors of Rep. Bill Shuster), the aero-industry has seen in many years may be nearing a conclusion... we hope.
The House of Representatives has passed H.R. 4, a long-term FAA Reauthorization bill. H.R. 4 contains provisions to dramatically improve the FAA certification process, including directing that the FAA fully utilize Organizational Designation Authorization (ODA), sending a clear message to the FAA to improve safety cooperation with international partners by focusing on effective and efficient validation and acceptance processes, streamlining FAA’s acceptance of mandatory continuing airworthiness instructions, and directing the FAA to improve its guidance and communication in order to establish more consistency in regulatory interpretation. The FAA has issued a notice outlining controller responsibilities regarding formation flight join-up and clarifies controller responsibility during formation flight break-up. ATC is now directed to control formation flights as a single aircraft. Separation responsibility between aircraft within the formation rests with the flight leader and the pilots of
the other aircraft in the flight. This includes transition periods when aircraft within the formation are maneuvering to attain separation from each other to affect individual control during join-up and breakaway. For the 11th straight year, the opportunity for women who love aviation to build camaraderie and open doors to mentorship and participation comes to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018, as WomenVenture activities will take place during the week. The 66th annual EAA fly-in/convention will be held July 23-29 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
