Conversations about widebody aircraft are currently dominated by the astonishingly impressive advances offered by next-generation jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, 777X, and the Airbus A350. However, airlines like United continue to fly older widebody aircraft while this transition is ongoing. This leads to some quirky and aging aircraft remaining of vital importance for some carriers. As a result, United now dominates one old widebody variant. Just two other airlines use this aircraft, but none to the same extent as United Airlines. Furthermore, neither of these two airlines is US-based, and they are incredibly unlikely to fly this jet into…

TAT Technologies has engineered a remarkable transformation, evolving from an established but previously dispersed and relatively unknown company into a rapidly growing powerhouse that dominates its core fields of activity. Riding the momentum of three consecutive years of double-digit revenue and profit growth and armed with a robust backlog and long-term agreements exceeding $524 million, the company secured $46 million in equity funding in June 2025, accelerating the company into its next phase of strategic expansion across aviation, aerospace, and defense markets.The funding, predominantly backed by U.S.-based institutional investors, positions TAT as a formidable new force in the American market,…

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner (specifically the Boeing 787-9 variant) is currently the most popular widebody aircraft on the market. It was built to replace the Boeing 767, complement the Boeing 777, and compete with the Airbus A330 (now A330neo) and the A350 that entered service four years after the Dreamliner. It also helped to doom the Airbus A380 as well as the Boeing 747-8i. Even though Boeing slashed production of the 787 during the pandemic by shutting the assembly line in Seattle, it is currently being delivered in higher numbers than other widebody aircraft. Boeing is also working to expand…

The Airbus A330-800neo is one of two variants in the Airbus A330neo family, with the other being the A330-900neo. The A330neo is an upgrade over the original A330 variants, with new engines, updated wingtips, interior improvements, and software upgrades. The A330-900, directly succeeding the A330-300, has proven effective and has even found love in the United Statesat Delta Air Lines. Contrastingly, the A330-800 has been shunned in the US. In some ways, you can consider the start of the A330neo to be the original A350 program. To compete against the Boeing 787, Airbus took the A330 family and added new…

Is Parts Integrity Finally Having Its Moment? | Aviation Week Network https://aviationweek.com/themes/custom/particle/dist/app-drupal/assets/awn-logo.svg Skip to main content Sean Broderick August 29, 2025 Digitizing maintenance and other aircraft records would help streamline MRO visits and transactions, such as lease transfers. Credit: Chris Rank/Airbus Years from now, when seamless digital record transfers are as routine as clouds in the sky, many will cite the AOG Technics fraud in 2023 as the event that sparked a fundamental shift in how aviation keeps tabs on aircraft assets. They will be right—sort of. AOG Technics, a London-based company that… Sean Broderick Senior Air Transport & Safety…

Failure To Maintain Lateral Control Of The Helicopter During Takeoff, Which Resulted In A Dynamic Rollover Analysis: The non-certificated pilot of the helicopter reported that the purpose of the flight was to practice takeoff, hover, and landing maneuvers from his private grass field. During takeoff, he increased the engine power and inadvertently applied right cyclic concurrently as he raised the collective. Subsequently, the helicopter’s right skid dug into the ground, resulting in a dynamic rollover.

From 2011 (YouTube Edition): Rugged, Legendary, STOL Twin Makes A Comeback The de Havilland Twin Otter is an airplane with a long history, and it gained a reputation as a workhorse of an airplane. But after it went out of production, Viking Air became one of the principal suppliers of spare parts and service to keep the airplanes flying. Dave Curtis, President and CEO of Viking Air Limited, told ANN at NBAA in Las Vegas this year that he often heard operators ask why the airplane wasn’t put back into production.

Basic Radar Service These services are provided for VFR aircraft by all commissioned terminal radar facilities. Basic radar service includes safety alerts, traffic advisories, limited radar vectoring when requested by the pilot, and sequencing at locations where procedures have been established for this purpose and/or when covered by a letter of agreement. The purpose of this service is to adjust the flow of arriving IFR and VFR aircraft into the traffic pattern in a safe and orderly manner and to provide traffic advisories to departing VFR aircraft.
