Controller’s Expectation That VW02 Would Have Departed Sooner Led To An Inadequate Scan And Loss Of Situational Awareness Analysis: A Robinson R-44 helicopter N744AF, VW02 (View 02), and a Diamond DA20-C1 Eclipse, N857PA were involved in a near midair collision (NMAC) approximately 1.7 miles west of the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT). At the time of the incident the VGT airport traffic control tower (ATCT) was staffed by two controllers with three personnel available. The local control 1 (LC1), local control 2 (LC2), local assist (LA1), and controller in charge (CIC) positions were all combined to the LC1 position. The…

The Boeing 737 MAX has a very familiar silhouette, but to keen observers, something looks slightly different: the nose seems a little higher, the stance a touch taller, and the instantly recognizable LEAP-1B engines appear to sit closer to the ground than on other new-generation narrowbodies. That raises an obvious question: why does the 737 MAX sit higher than the Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) in the first place, and why didn’t Boeing just give it much taller landing gear and be done with it? The answer lies in a web of design compromises stretching back to the original 1960s…

All airlines adapt schedules and change where aircraft fly, and Air Canada is no exception. In the latest schedule update, the Star Alliance member has nearly fully removed the Airbus A321XLR from its brand-new route between Montreal and Palma de Mallorca. The Boeing 787-8 will primarily be used instead. The XLR will now only operate eight round-trip services in June, including the inaugural departure on June 17. The 787-8 will then replace it for the rest of the season, until the final Palma-bound departure of the seasonal service leaves on October 23. Air Canada To Palma De Mallorca Credit: GCMap In…

In early December, USAF F-35A Lightning IIs and F-16 Fighting Falcons took part in agile airpower exercises across the Baltic states and in Romania. Two F-16s from the U.S. Air Force’s 31st Fighter Wing (FW), based at Aviano Air Base, Italy, launched on Dec. 3, 2025 and flew to Câmpia Turzii Air Base, Romania – home to Romanian Air Force F-16s as well as MQ-9 Reapers of the USAF’s 731st Expeditionary Attack Squadron, a geographically separated unit under the umbrella of Aviano’s 31st FW. The two jets landed at the Romanian base, rapidly refueled, and relaunched with support from Romanian…

The FAA has begun reviewing Boeing’s redesigned crew-alerting and angle-of-attack systems for the 737 MAX 10, marking the start of a formal evaluation process Congress mandated before Boeing can win certification of the long-delayed jet. The review also covers retrofits that must eventually be installed across the entire MAX family under post-crash safety reforms, the agency said. The proposed package adds a synthetic enhanced angle-of-attack system and introduces a new capability for crews to disable stall warning and overspeed alerts in specific scenarios. The FAA will assess whether these design changes satisfy the safety improvements Congress required following two MAX…
