System Issue Cited in United 787 Jolt
An investigation into the January incident is ongoing.

March 18, 2025 2:21 pm ET
By Ryan Ewing

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its preliminary report on Tuesday regarding the United flight 613 incident that occurred on Jan. 24. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, operating from Lagos, Nigeria, to Washington Dulles, experienced altitude fluctuations during its cruise phase in Côte d’Ivoire airspace.

According to the report, the incident began when the aircraft, flying at 36,000 feet, suddenly experienced autopilot disconnection. This led to a series of altitude deviations lasting about 12 minutes, with the 787 reaching a maximum altitude of 36,203 feet and dropping as low as 35,577 feet.

The report indicates that just prior to the “altitude excursions,” the aircraft’s systems had registered failures in both the left and right inertial reference units (IRUs). These failures occurred approximately one hour and five minutes and 55 minutes before the event, respectively.

During the incident, the flight crew took manual control of the aircraft. The report notes several events, including the activation of the stick shaker, multiple autopilot disconnections, and the disengagement of the autothrottle system.

Passengers and Crew Injured
The incident resulted in injuries to passengers and crew members. One crew member sustained serious injuries, while 15 others on board the flight suffered minor injuries. Many of these injuries occurred during the meal service, which was underway at the time of the altitude fluctuations, investigators stated.

Following the incident, the flight crew made the decision to return to Lagos, where the aircraft landed safely. Emergency responders met the plane upon arrival and transported the injured to a nearby medical facility.

The 12-year-old jet – registered as N27903 – remained out of service in Lagos for just over a week following the incident. It returned to revenue service on Jan. 31.
Data from Flightradar24 shows that just three days before this incident, the same aircraft diverted to Accra, Ghana, while also flying from Lagos to Washington. The reason for this diversion remains unclear.

A spokesperson from the airline blamed the Jan. 24 diversion on a “technical issue and an unexpected aircraft movement” soon after the incident.

As part of the investigation, the NTSB said that the flight data recorder had been successfully downloaded. However, the cockpit voice recorder, which has a two-hour recording capability, had overwritten the data from the incident by the time it was retrieved.

The NTSB’s investigation is ongoing, with specialists assigned to examine various aspects of the incident, including operations, human performance, airplane systems, survival factors, and flight data recorder analysis. The investigation team includes representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration, United, Boeing, Honeywell, and the Air Line Pilots Association.

Lithuania sends Ukraine cutting-edge AI drones that don’t just avoid Russian jamming—they overcome it
The GA-10FPV-AI boasts advanced anti-jamming technology, precise lock-on-target capability, a 3 kg warhead, and a striking range of up to 20 km.

Note: See photos in the original article.

Lithuanian company Granta Autonomy has delivered hundreds of advanced GA-10FPV-AI attack drones to Ukraine under a €1 million contract, Forbes reports.
“Even in 2014, it was already obvious that drones would create a difference,” Gediminas Guoba, CEO and co-founder of Granta Autonomy, said.
The Vilnius-based company is one of the few foreign manufacturers producing highly capable drones to survive intense electronic warfare environments at low cost. Forbes tech correspondent David Hambling notes that US equivalents tend to be “astronomically expensive and vulnerable to jamming.”

“The hardware in FPVs is all at least ten years old,” explains Guoba. “The difference is in the software. The autopilot is all software, the communications capabilities to beat jammers are software, and the optical lock on target is software. You can have two drones with the same hardware, but software can give them completely different capabilities.”

What makes these drones particularly effective is their unique approach to electronic countermeasures.
“Our GA-10FPV-AI attack drone employs a unique anti-jamming approach,” Guoba explained. “Instead of seeking alternative frequencies, it powers through the jammed signal.”

Granta’s drones have proven their effectiveness in Ukraine’s challenging combat conditions. During tests, even when their drones’ communication frequency was known, electronic warfare operators using a powerful 2.5-kilowatt jammer could not disrupt them.The company’s drone development has been heavily influenced by battlefield experience. Guoba and his team actually went to the front lines in Ukraine to gain firsthand knowledge of operational conditions.
“Participation, doing those missions at the front lines, that is absolutely different compared to working in military ranges and on exercises,” Guoba said. “It changes your mindset.”
Unlike many competitors who source components from China, Granta prioritizes local sourcing.
“We source everything locally,” Guoba noted. “For most things – PCBs, magnets, motors – there is no problem.”
The GA-10FPV-AI drones can carry payloads of up to 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) and have an operational range of up to 20 kilometers (12 miles). Ukrainian forces also operate Granta’s Hornet XR drone, a fixed-wing reconnaissance aircraft with a three-hour flight time that can conduct fully autonomous missions at ranges of up to 100 miles.

Granta Autonomy has been preparing for drone warfare for more than a decade, beginning after Russia’s 2014 invasion of Crimea when Guoba and co-founder Laurynas Litvinas established the company to develop asymmetric weapons to help Lithuania counter potential Russian aggression.

March 14, 2025

Piaggio Aerospace recently delivered a new-production P.180 Avanti Evo to a U.S. customer after fitting it with the Astronics Max-Viz 2300 enhanced vision system (EVS). Now being operated by a Missouri-based entrepreneur, the aircraft has an eight-passenger cabin configuration and is decorated in grey and blue livery developed with the customer’s input.

A Max-Viz 2300 EVS was fitted to the Avanti Evo under a service bulletin based on an optional type design change for the twin pusherprop, which has a Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite. It can also be fitted to Avanti II models, which are equipped with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Installation of the EVS does not include a head-up display; EVS information is displayed on the primary flight display.
The EVS combines an infrared camera with merged long-wave infrared and black-and-white sensors. It improves visibility for pilots at night and in flying conditions compromised by smoke, haze, smog, fog, snow, and rain.

Meanwhile, Piaggio has 11 other Avanti Evos on the production line at its Villanova d’Albenga factory. The Italian company is in the process of being acquired by Turkish aerospace and defense group Baykar.

Sikorsky Successfully Flies Rotor Blown Wing UAS in Helicopter and Airplane Modes
Tail sitter drone can be scaled to larger sizes with hybrid-electric propulsion

STRATFORD, Conn, March 10, 2025 – Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company (NYSE: LMT) has successfully validated the advanced control laws to successfully fly a ‘rotor blown wing’ uncrewed aerial system (UAS) in both helicopter and airplane modes. Powered by batteries, the 115 pounds (52kg) twin prop-rotor prototype has demonstrated operational stability and maneuverability across all flight regimes, and the potential to scale the unique vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) design to larger sizes requiring hybrid-electric propulsion.

“Combining helicopter and airplane flight characteristics onto a flying wing reflects Sikorsky’s drive to innovate next-generation VTOL UAS aircraft that can fly faster and farther than traditional helicopters,” said Sikorsky Vice President and General Manager Rich Benton. “Our rotor blown wing platform is a prime example how we are leveraging the breadth of our 102-year aviation heritage to develop new designs that meet the emerging missions of commercial and military operators.”

Innovation Breakthrough
Sikorsky Innovations, the company’s rapid prototyping group, heads the effort to develop and mature the rotor blown wing design. In just over a year, Sikorsky Innovations has progressed through preliminary design, simulation, tethered and untethered flight to gather aerodynamic, flight control and quality data.

Breakthrough was achieved in January 2025 with the 10.3-ft composite wingspan aircraft when Sikorsky Innovations successfully completed more than 40 take-offs and landings. Notably, the aircraft performed 30 transitions between helicopter and airplane modes, the most complex maneuver demanded of the design. In horizontal flight mode, the aircraft reached a top cruise speed of 86 knots. Simultaneous wind tunnel tests were conducted on a 1:1 scale model providing valuable validation of the newly developed control laws by correlating them with real-world experimental data.

“Our rotor blown wing has demonstrated the control power and unique handling qualities necessary to transition repeatedly and predictably from a hover to high-speed wing-borne cruise flight, and back again,” said Sikorsky Innovations Director Igor Cherepinsky. “New control laws were required for this transition maneuver to work seamlessly and efficiently. The data indicates we can operate from pitching ships decks and unprepared ground when scaled to much larger sizes.”

Applications of future UAS rotor blown wing aircraft include search and rescue, firefighting monitoring, humanitarian response, and pipeline surveilling. Large variants will enable long range intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and piloted drone teaming (crewed/uncrewed teaming) missions.

All rotor blown wing variants will include Sikorsky’s MATRIX™ flight autonomy system to navigate the aircraft during flight.

Family of Systems
The rotor blown wing design is one of a future family of systems in development by Sikorsky. The family will include winged VTOL UAS and single main rotor aircraft.
Also in development by Sikorsky is a 1.2 megawatt hybrid-electric demonstrator (HEX) configured with a tilt wing and a fuselage to carry passengers or cargo across long distances. A HEX power system test bed is expected to demonstrate hover capability in 2027.

FAA Calls for New 787 Inspections
Errors in forward pressure bulkhead assembly and installation could ‘adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane,' the agency said.

March 13, 2025 9:50 pm ET
By Caleb Revill

The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Boeing 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10 aircraft requiring they be inspected for design issues.
The FAA stated in its AD filed Thursday that the directive was prompted by reports of erroneous assembly and installation of the aircraft’s forward pressure bulkheads, located in the nose of the fuselage.

“This proposed AD would require an internal and external detailed inspection (DET) of the forward pressure bulkhead (FPB) for any damage and performing applicable on-condition actions,” the AD stated. “The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.”

The AD stated that the FAA has received reports of excessive gaps and pull-up found in the FPB, “caused by insufficient clamp-up and nonconference to the manufacturing process requirements.”

The agency added that existing gaps were found between the Y-chords and attach angles common to fastener joints, which can trap foreign object debris between the parts.
“This condition, if not addressed, could result in undetected fatigue cracks that can grow to weaken the primary structure where it cannot sustain limit load, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane,” the AD continued.
The FAA estimated that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would affect 135 U.S.-registered airplanes, costing operators $114,740. The agency added that some of this cost could be reduced if covered under warranty.

This proposed AD comes just months after the FAA ordered inspections on 787 aircraft in August following a LATAM flight’s sudden descent.

Ask Paul: Is it OK to fly my Mooney lean of peak?
By Paul McBride
March 12, 2025

Question for Paul McBride, the General Aviation News engines expert: What is your professional opinion about flying a Mooney 20J with a Lycoming IO-360 engine lean of peak without fuel injectors if the temperatures are within guideline perimeters?

Paul’s Answer
This is a subject that has been around the general aviation community for a long time and it has always been a controversial topic. So, with that in mind, I’ll step off the cliff and give you my “professional opinion.”

Right out of the gate I’ll start off by saying that if it were my airplane and engine, I wouldn’t do it, and I’ll give you some reasons why.

Hopefully, anyone who is considering doing this during the operation of their Lycoming engine should first refer to Lycoming Service Instruction 1094D or its latest revision.
Probably the most important recommendation set forth in SI1094D is this statement in bold text: “ALL LEANING RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON CALIBRATED INSTRUMENTATION.”

Lycoming follows this statement by stating that the company also recommends “that all engine instrumentation be calibrated annually.”

Now I’ve been around the aviation community for a long time and I’ve got to be honest with you: I couldn’t tell you of one aircraft owner I’ve met over the years who has complied with that recommendation. How about you?

Another thing that really concerns me is that instrument calibration of the more sophisticated turbocharged engine is extremely important because of the higher operating temperatures.

While there are all kinds of products that claim better operational results — and there may be — I still am from the old school that subscribes to the aircraft and the engine manufacturers’ recommendations.

In my mind if these so-called improved operational products were that good, don’t you think the original manufacturer would be using them?

The one big question you must ask yourself is if these improved products are going to be suitable for safe operation across the board worldwide in some very different operational arenas than the one you operate in.

I’d also like you to think about one other thing: Is it worth it to operate your engine at lean of peak?

I think the two least expensive things you can put in your engine are avgas and oil.
If you don’t believe that, just ask someone who recently had to replace a cylinder.
