Airborne 10.06.25: FAA Furloughs, Airshows Hit By Shutdown, Livestream Accident Mon, Oct 13,2025 04:55:57PM EST Also: Pilot Age Cap, Skylar AI Flight Assistant, NS-36 Mission, ALPA v Shutdown The federal government has officially gone into lockdown mode. The FAA will be laying off around a fourth of its staff, leaving 11,000 employees in limbo as another 13,000 air traffic controllers are forced to work on their own dime. Air traffic controllers are considered critical roles, meaning they are required to remain on the job but won’t receive pay until the shutdown ends. Side effects of the recent US government shutdown have made their way into the airshow side of things, with Pacific Airshow organizers confirming that some of its most iconic acts are no longer on the itinerary. The Canadian Forces Snowbirds and Royal Air Force Falcons will instead headline the event, standing in for the traditional USAF Thunderbirds performance. 55-year-old content creator Tang Feiji was killed on September 27, 2025, after losing control of his twin-rotor ultralight. He was livestreaming on social media at the time. Feij had just taken off in Jiange County of China’s Sichuan Province when the accident occurred. He was broadcasting to his followers on Douyin, like the Chinese version of TikTok... All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!! |

Airborne 10.08.25: Deltahawk Seminole Sale!, FAA Move, French ATC NON-Strike Mon, Oct 13,2025 04:55:36PM EST Also: New NOTAM Service, 737 Production Cap, RNZAF NH90 Helis, ATC Sick Days Trend Up Just over three months after hitting the market, Piper Aircraft’s diesel-powered multi-engine trainer has logged its first domestic order. The deal will deliver five of the Seminole DX aircraft to Florida-based Skyborne Airline Academy. The Seminole DX was unveiled at this year’s EAA Oshkosh AirVenture. Designed to run on JET A and JET A-1 (with SAF approval in progress), the trainer’s twin DeltaHawk DHK4A180 engines offer about 40% better fuel efficiency than typical avgas piston engines. The FAA is looking to begin the first phase of what is shaping up to be a very expensive move, aiming to get part of its workforce situated in the DoT headquarters by early December. The agency confirmed the relocation in August as a means to improve collaboration and address safety concerns with its aging facilities. France’s largest air traffic controller union has called off plans for a three-day walk-out, an action that airlines say could have been felt by upwards of 100,000 passengers. The group was reportedly able to hash out pay and work conditions issues with the nation’s aviation authority and reach an agreement with executives.
