Airport Authority Does Not Have Authority To Close The Downtown Heliport The Federal Aviation Administration has determined that the Indianapolis Airport Authority does not have the authority to shutter the Indianapolis Downtown Heliport. According to a news release from Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, the FAA has made the decision to withdraw its Notice of Permanent Closure and its Letter of Intent that had been submitted two years ago, which would have permitted the permanent closure and sale of the site. “This is a win for Indiana’s taxpayers, public safety, the future of advanced air mobility, and aviation generally,” Rokita said. “The downtown heliport is a unique asset that in addition to serving passengers and general aviation, also serves law enforcement, homeland security, military support, and emergency medical services. It will also help with the emerging technology. Closing it for non-aviation redevelopment would have been shortsighted and contrary to the public interest, not to mention a waste of the millions of dollars state taxpayers have invested in the infrastructure. We don’t want the Indianapolis mayor or the Indianapolis Airport Authority to do here what the shortsighted city of Chicago did to Meigs Field.”

Aero Linx: Piper Apache Club In 1978 a group of Piper Apache owners from the USA and Canada gathered in Hazleton, PA and formed the "Flying Apache Association". The Association produced a monthly newsletter and had an annual fly-in in various locations in the United States and the Bahama Islands. The Piper Apache was primarily owned by individuals that were long time owners and some flight schools for multi-trainers. As time went on many of the owners moved on to larger twins and a lot of the planes were sold to individuals that were only interested in building multi time to get an airline job. There was still a group of dedicated Apache Lovers out there that kept in touch and we did our best in helping them with needed parts and maintenance information.

Also: Elixir Accident, Solairus Takes On Clay Lacy, Crew-13 Reaches ISS, Gulfstream Simulator Albuquerque's skies filled with balloons for the opening morning of the 2026 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, but several flights ended far differently than planned. Seven incidents were reported as balloons encountered power lines, light poles and challenging conditions near the ground. No serious injuries were reported, though multiple balloons were damaged and about 2,000 customers temporarily lost power. The pilot suspected of having attacked another pilot aboard a Tel Aviv-bound FlyDubai flight was removed from a previous job at Oman’s national airline last year following concerns about his extremist views, say two sources. The co-pilot is an Omani citizen named Hamam al-Hammami, according to the two sources and an Israeli official. Saudi state media also identified al-Hammami. He was born in the United Arab Emirates to an Omani father and Syrian mother and has spent several years of his life in the UAE. For aspiring pilots, mechanics, engineers, and aviation professionals, the path forward can hinge on something as practical as tuition. The EAA Aviation Foundation has opened applications for its 2026-27 scholarship cycle. More than $680,000 went to 106 students in 2026, offering a glimpse of how far aviation education funding can reach. Applications are open through December 16th, with recipients set to be announced March 1st, 2027. Students must be at least 16 by the award date to qualify.

Also: UAL Pilot Grounded?, New Continental CEO, Marine One Warning Plan, C182 Joins Gear Campaign The Pueblo Aiport User Group is asking questions around the developing dispute involving hangar leases at Pueblo Memorial Airport and raising questions that extend beyond aviation. Those questions involve what happens to individual contractual interests when a larger government-related lease arrangement ends, and how should those interests be addressed when replacement agreements are proposed? Fuel costs moved higher across the U.S. aviation market in September. Both Jet A and 100LL reached new highs, adding another layer of pressure for operators and pilots. The latest figures also show just how persistent the upward trend has become in 2026. National Jet A Full Service averaged $8.36 per gallon in September, up 39 cents, or 4.9%, from August. In the Lower 48, the average reached $8.31, a 5.1% monthly increase. The Gratia Aero Group will be bringing the pre-production model of the SureWings BD-4C-S to the 2026 Affordable Flying Expo November 13-15 in Lakeland, Fla., said founder Atilla Gahbro said. This aircraft is equipped with the Viking engine and to note all our orders that have come in are for MWfly engines so this might be the only aircraft we build with the Viking,” he said.

Also: McFarlane Acquires Airglas, $4.9 Million Parts Settlement, Fairford Base Investigation, USAF Pilot Awarded DFC Pilot Jeremy Rivers has sued the FAA seeking to vacate what the lawsuit says are erroneous FAA interpretations so he can be allowed to receive pro rata reimbursement for his charitable flights. The lawsuit says the FAA is preventing him and other pilots from receiving funds to offset his operating costs. Texas Public Policy Foundation writes that the “FAA has layered on several additional requirements by interpretation—not by amending the regulation—that make this type of reimbursement unavailable to volunteer pilots. Three specific interpretations preclude reimbursement. The “common purpose” test requires the pilot and passenger to share a purpose for the flight...."In an urgent letter sent this week to the FAA, NBAA and Citation Jet Pilots (CJP) requested the agency delay by at least 90 days its rescission of single-pilot training exemptions (SPEs) for certain Cessna Citation aircraft. In a Sept. 29 letter to FAA Flight Standards Service Executive Director Hugh Thomas, the organizations warned the agency’s sweeping action could disrupt safe flight operations and undermine access to specialized pilot training. Smit Machchhar was lying on the floor of the FlyDubai flight deck, covered in blood, when he managed to click the release to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to gain entry, overpower his attacker and save 174 passengers onboard. Machchhar’s fellow co-pilot had stabbed him, in an apparent effort to crash the plane, which was travelling from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Machchhar, from Mumbai, India is being treated in a hospital in Saudi Arabia’s north-western city of Tabuk, where the plane landed safely.

Also: Matternet M3, Faster Aircraft Certification, AI Algorithms On Rafale, Dayton Area Firms Land $200M Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) are set to take part in a large-force employment (LFE) exercise for the first time later this year. Sending CCAs to the next iteration of the Emerald Flag test exercise is another important new stepping stone toward fielding the drones operationally. The Air Force announced in June that its initial operational CCA fleet would consist of a mix of FQ-42s and FQ-44s. A legal challenge is putting the FAA’s national environmental review for drone package delivery under scrutiny. The case could influence how quickly certified operators expand into new delivery markets. At its center is a regulatory framework designed to avoid repeating lengthy environmental reviews for every individual application. Fifteen states and Harris County, Texas, filed a petition September 28th in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, asking the court to review and set aside the FAA’s final Programmatic Environmental Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, and Record of Decision for commercial drone delivery. The U.S. Navy is taking a closer look at how an uncrewed aircraft could expand maritime patrol capabilities. The MQ-9B SeaGuardian recently joined naval aviation leaders at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Its presence offered a practical look at how the aircraft could complement existing manned platforms across the fleet. At the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force Commander's Operational Group, senior leaders, tacticians and industry partners gathered to examine anti-submarine warfare tactics and emerging naval aviation capabilities.

“Growing up in the ‘90s and 2000s, I remember thinking of the F-117 as the most unique plane. Being able to move it to the Smithsonian to preserve it for future generations is an incredible opportunity, and we’re all honored to do it.” Source: Maj. Billy Hafker, 709th Airlift Squadron instructor pilot and aircraft commander for the mission in which one F-117A Nighthawk had the rare opportunity to take to the skies once more: this time, in the cargo hold of a C-5M Super Galaxy. The historic stealth aircraft, bound for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va., will soon join the institution’s permanent collection.

Also: SureWings Coming To AFE26, ROTAX Turbo Hose Fix, Controller Paramotor Commute, Elixir Grounding Mini-Max USA is adding a couple of interesting airplanes to its lineup, and for those of us who still believe recreational flying ought to be within reach of ordinary pilots, this deserves a look. The company has launched SD Planes USA as the American distributor for the SD-1 Minisport, a lightweight single-seater, and the SD-2 SportMaster, a two-seat design intended for faster cross-country travel. They’re also bringing in SD Planes’ lightweight SE33I XP four-stroke engine, along with kits and replacement parts, with American support and builder assistance from their Niles, Michigan, facility. A flying wing sailplane with no conventional tail has completed its first flights in Germany, as Akaflieg Karlsruhe’s AK-X moves from years of development into flight testing. Designed for the fifteen-meter competition class, the AK-X features a wingspan of approximately forty-nine feet, twenty-five degrees of wing sweep, and large winglets with integrated rudders. Those winglets provide yaw stability and directional control, while three-part wing flaps combine the functions normally handled by ailerons, elevators, and conventional flaps. Sometimes, the way to keep things affordable is in knowing when they clearly are not. The actions of the powers that control Kissimmee Airport in Central Florida appear to be a prime example. Kissimmee Gateway’s landing-fee controversy now includes aircraft-identification cameras, a proposed fee increase, and reported threats to put liens on airplanes whose operators haven’t paid.

If MOSAIC Is Supposed To Change Personal Aviation, This Is Where You Come To Be Part Of It November 13–15, 2026. SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo Campus — Lakeland, Florida. AffordableFlying.net There is an enormous amount of conversation going on right now about MOSAIC, affordable aircraft, new designs, expanded operating privileges, experimental aviation, ultralights, Light Sport Aircraft and the long-overdue possibility that personal aviation might actually become accessible to a much larger population of people. There is considerably less being done to bring all those people, airplanes, companies, experts and opportunities together in one place where the individual aviation enthusiast is treated as something more important than another admission ticket walking through the gate.

In a statement furnished several hours after promising a response, AOPA said engagement with its X posts had fallen more than 80 percent over three years, while its audiences on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok each grew by tens of thousands of followers. The association said several attempts to improve performance failed, prompting its planned withdrawal. The United States moved all 12 of its long-range bombers stationed in the United Kingdom back to their American home bases on Sunday after an unspecified new threat, according to a U.S. official. It comes days after the British government arrested a number of individuals in connection with an alleged Iranian plot to target the U.K. airbase where the planes had been stationed. The Veris Virtual Reality Flight Training Device (FTD) configured for the Cessna Skyhawk is making its show debut at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas. Attendees can experience how the dual-seat Cessna Skyhawk Veris brings instructors and students together for realistic, immersive flight training. The show debut builds on momentum from NBAA-BACE 2025, where TRU Simulation announced a purchase agreement with US Aviation Academy for five Cessna Skyhawk Veris devices, with options for additional units.
