(Pilot) Failed To Properly Flare The Airplane Resulting In A Hard Landing Analysis: The pilot/owner of the amateur-built airplane reported that, while performing touch-and-go landings, he failed to properly flare the airplane resulting in a hard landing. The landing loads exceeded the strength of the mainlanding gear attachment, which resulted in a separation of the main landing gear. The airplane subsequently departed the left side of the runway and struck the visual approach slope indicator lights, resulting in substantial damage to the right wing strut.

Pilot’s Failure To Extend The Landing Gear Before Landing Analysis: After performing a practice instrument approach, the pilot performed a touch-and-go landing and remained in the airport traffic pattern for another landing. The pilot reported that the traffic pattern was busy, and that he was focused on a much slower airplane flying ahead of him. The pilot stated that he would normally put the landing gear down on downwind, but due to the distraction of the other traffic, he forgot to extend the landing gear. During the landing, the airplane skidded down the runway with the landing gear retracted and exited into the adjacent grass area resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage.

The British Royal Air Force (RAF) Aerobatics team the Red Arrows have pulled out of a number of key summer events due to the team being stranded in Canada. The RAF's aerobatics team were due to return to RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire last week following its tour of the U.S., but were grounded due to poor weather predicted for north-eastern regions of Canada. In an update, the team said it now anticipated continuing its multi-leg journey back to the U.K. next week. Boeing and Archer Aviation have announced the companies have signed definitive agreements in which Archer will acquire Boeing's Wisk Aero, SkyGrid and Insitu subsidiaries. The acquisitions, including the drone maker Insitu and airspace-services provider SkyGrid, give Archer access to Boeing's autonomous-flight technology, potentially bolstering its position in defense and commercial logistics.

Also: NTSB Says Fan Blade Broke Off, Surface Movement Radar System, APS Jet Transition, UT NG Fights Fire California pilots are fighting back against local governments using FAA-mandated ADS-B aircraft tracking data for tax collection. Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang said he uses ADS-B for tax collection. “If you have an aircraft and it’s here in LA county, it’s assessable for the period of the time it’s in the county,” Prang says. California Pilots Association Vice President Eve Lopez calls the policy a Big Brother approach. An in-flight failure of a Bell 222 tail rotor pitch horn has prompted the FAA to act immediately. The component may develop premature fatigue cracks in areas exposed to elevated stress. Now, affected helicopters face mandatory replacement before they fly again. The Arizona Pilots Association (APA) and the Aviation Safety Advisory Group of Arizona (ASAG), among others, have submitted comments to the FAA pushing back on the City of Mesa’s defense of its financial methodology and rationale behind the implementation of landing fees at Falcon Field. The filing comes as part of the FAA’s ongoing review of FAR Part 13 complaints challenging the city’s landing fee program. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

The FCC’s Covered List is beginning to redraw the boundaries of the U.S. drone market. Previously approved models can remain available, but new foreign-made aircraft without FCC certification face a closed door. The change could make the next drone release a very different proposition from the last. The FCC requires wireless-equipped devices to receive authorization before they can be marketed in the US. By placing foreign-made drones that have not already received FCC certification on its Covered List, the agency has effectively blocked numerous international manufacturers from bringing future uncertified models into the American market. President Trump has directed the Navy to tear out a complex system for launching jet fighters from its aircraft carriers and instead go back to using steam catapults, a move Navy official has fought for years and will likely cost billions of dollars. U.S. officials say Trump signed a national security memorandum Thursday directing the change, which would involve removing the electromagnetic catapult system used by the ships in the Gerald R. Ford class of carriers. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Innovation!!!

BANSA exempts single-engine piston powered aircraft on private flights from these fees. “NBAA is launching an advocacy effort with other impacted stakeholders and the U.S. government to highlight the negative economic impact such onerous fees will have on FBOs, airports, the travel industry and surrounding businesses,” said Laura Everington, NBAA’s director of international operations and regulations. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report says investigators posing as pilots called 45 FBOs at 40 general aviation airports and compared the prices they received by phone against listings on AirNav, various airport directories, ForeFlight and FBO websites.

The incident took an additional turn when another unidentified object struck a cargo aircraft attempting to land. An airport staff member discovered the drone near the airport’s south runway shortly before midnight. Fire officials are expressing concerns as more people are using drones in restricted airspace to video wildfires from above, blocking or slowing firefighters’ efforts to save lives and property, and putting pilots’ lives at risk.

From 2024 (YouTube Edition) Chuck Surack Trying To Save Heavily-Used Air Transportation Asset The City of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis Airport Authority have petitioned the FAA to decommission a heavily-used heliport that’s been located in the heart of the city for several decades. The city wants to replace it with a soccer stadium or apartment buildings. Billionaire entrepreneur Chuck Surack, owner of Enstrom Helicopters, has been trying for over three years to save the heliport from the city’s attempts to shut it down. He has pointed out time after time how heavily it is used for a variety of purposes such as emergency services, business transportation, and concerts and other recreation including nearby pro sports venues.
