BOEING FUNDS 25 FLIGHT TRAINING SCHOLARSHIPS
Without pilots to fly them, Boeing aircraft would be little
more than large and very expensive lawn ornaments. The
aerospace giant is helping ensure there will be pilots to
fly their aircraft in the future by partnering with aviation
organizations that provide scholarships for pilot training.
The organizations include the Aircraft Owners and
Pilots Association (AOPA), the Latino Pilots Association
(LPA), the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals
(OBAP), Sisters of the Skies, and Women in Aviation
International (WAI). Boeing is donating $500,000 to fund
25 scholarships, the company announced during the recent
EAA AirVenture air show. Learn more.
FAA PROPOSES RULE TO ENHANCE SAFETY AND
PERFORMANCE OF LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT
The FAA plans to enhance the safety and performance of
Light Sport Aircraft operations under the Modernization
of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC) Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). The proposed rule would
put performance safety standards around larger aircraft
that innovators are building by expanding the definition
of Light Sport Aircraft. View the NPRM and provide
comments by Oct. 23, 2023.
FAA GO-AROUNDS IN 57 SECONDS-
FLY THE AIRCRAFT FIRST
NTSB accident data suggests that pilots who are distracted
by less essential tasks can lose control of their aircraft
and crash. To help prevent this, the General Aviation
Joint Safety Committee (GAJSC) recommends awareness
training on how to properly cope with interruptions
and distractions while flying. General aviation pilots
are particularly at risk because they usually do not
have additional flight crew members to assist them.
