The eIPP creates one of the largest real-world testing environments for next-generation aircraft that have the potential to generate new jobs, connect communities, and strengthen American leadership in aviation.

When Darren Rojohn plugs in at Kansas Downtown Tower, he carries on the legacy of three generations of air traffic controllers keeping KC’s airspace safe for passengers and pilots. An FAA Academy graduate, Darren is now adding on to the 73 cumulative years his father and grandfather recorded as military-to-FAA controllers with careers at Kansas City Center.

Austin Fisher’s connection to aviation began at birth. The FAA’s revolutionary Enhanced Air Traffic – Collegiate Training Initiative (E-CTI) program was created for the next generation of air traffic controllers, just like Austin. It is designed to shorten the distance between the classroom and the control tower. E-CTI students who pass final performance and written assessments receive an official endorsement certificate. E-CTI graduates can apply to become a controller and be directly placed in an FAA facility to begin their facility-specific training, bypassing the agency’s Air Traffic...

Let’s look at some of the ways building a brand-new air traffic control system will help increase GA safety across the nation. The FAA’s deployment of a Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) is bringing modern tools and tech to air traffic controllers while strengthening the reliability and sustainability of U.S. aviation infrastructure.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford talks about the future of flight. "As a pilot with more than three decades in this industry, I know firsthand the weight of our shared responsibility."

SMS implementation marks a deliberate move toward a proactive, data-driven approach to helicopter safety. It formalizes processes to ensure hazards are identified early and addressed systematically rather than reactively.

FAA update on disclosing a mental health condition and treatment.

Remote pilots may not operate over people, for any duration, unless they have a category-compliant drone or a waiver. Learn how to avoid swift consequences from the FAA, alongside potential state and local law enforcement interventions.

When it comes to safety and maintenance efficiency, one key aspect is the ability to accurately diagnose and address aircraft faults. Understanding new technologies in aircraft system diagnosis methods and airplane fault detection techniques is crucial for ensuring reliable and safe operations.

Access to useful machine intelligence tools has never been more widespread, and these tools are becoming increasingly useful by the day. They are being used more and more in place of search engines and for researching topics by some users. What does that mean in the aviation world?
