Circle-To-Land Maneuver A maneuver initiated by the pilot to align the aircraft with a runway for landing when a straight-in landing from an instrument approach is not possible or is not desirable. At tower-controlled airports, this maneuver is made only after ATC authorization has been obtained and the pilot has established the required visual reference to the airport.

“We’re going to introduce this strategic coordination of air traffic at high altitude. When the airplanes are en route, we’ll be deconflicting the projected trajectories from each aircraft, and we’ll be providing [updated] arrival times.” Source: Federal Aviation Administration senior certification advisor and technical pilot Steve Fulton, in comments made as he told the FAA/European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s annual safety conference in Chantilly, Va. that the plan for its new air traffic management software will be a “bounded introduction,” limited to air traffic at 24,000 feet and above.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, nestled inside its transport container nicknamed ‘the Chariot’, passes by the Vehicle Assembly Building on its way to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center. Image: Adam Bernstein/Spaceflight Now NASA’s next great observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, arrived at the Kennedy Space Center aboard the agency’s massive Pegasus barge late Sunday morning. The spacecraft was nestled inside its protective case, which NASA nicknamed the “Chariot” in keeping with the “Roman” theme. That said, telescope is named not for the ancient empire, but instead for NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy,…

Hilton had mostly quit building truly new hotel brands from scratch, preferring to buy (Graduate, NoMad) or borrow (a deal with Yotel). Since the pandemic, it added only one new-build brand, LivSmart Studios, and one brand for lightly converting existing hotels, Spark. But that’s changing.  “There’ll be other organic brand launches that you’ll be seeing from us in short order,” said Christian Charnaux, who returned to Hilton as chief development officer last July, in an exclusive interview. The brands will be part of CEO Chris Nassetta’s target for a broader portfolio of over 30 brands. Charnaux helped develop Home2, Tempo,…

The Starlink 17-28 mission lifts off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on June 21, 2026. Image: SpaceX. SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 9:39:06 a.m. PDT (12:39:06 p.m. EDT / 1639:06 UTC). The Father’s Day flight added another 24 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit constellation. It was the 72nd Falcon 9 launch of the year and flew a south-southwesterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.  SpaceX launched the mission atop one of its most heavily used Falcon 9 boosters, B1063…

Leonardo Providing Italian Air Force M-345 Trainers The government of Canada has begun negotiations to buy the Leonardo-made M-346 trainer aircraft, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney. “Canada and Italy are becoming increasingly close in defense and security. To that end, the leaders were pleased to launch negotiations for Canada’s purchase of M-346 advanced jet trainer aircraft designed and produced by Leonardo, one of Italy’s largest aerospace companies,” said the statement released from Carney’s meeting with Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni.

Aero Linx: What Makes Airplanes Fly? History, Science and Applications ofAerodynamics This curriculum from the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute brings together topics like aerodynamics, physics and the historical developments of the aerospace industry. In March 1990, seventy-eight teachers from the New Haven Public Schools became Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute to prepare new curricular materials for school courses. One-fourth of these teachers were participating in the Institute for the first time. Established in 1978, the Institute is a partnership of Yale University and the New Haven Public Schools, designed to strengthen teaching and improve learning of the humanities…

Flight Check A call sign prefix used by FAA aircraft engaged in flight inspection/certification of navigational aids and flight procedures. The word “recorded” may be added as a suffix; e.g., “Flight Check 320 recorded” to indicate that an automated flight inspection is in progress in terminal areas.

One week into the World Cup, hotels are seeing a healthy boost in revenue per available room, with CoStar data showing RevPAR up anywhere from 24% to more than 100% during the first three match days. But the findings suggest host city hotels are largely benefitting by charging more, not filling more rooms. While San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles saw an increase in occupancy, the remaining six host markets tracked by CoStar saw declines ranging from 4% in Boston to nearly 35% in Guadalajara.   “A week in, the gains for most of our clients are based on…
