On this week’s episode of AvTalk, we discuss Iran’s missile attack on Israel and the consequences (so far) for commercial aviation. The NTSB shakes its fist at the FAA over moist rudders, while the FAA’s investigation into United’s safety system turns up nothing. Qatar Airways is taking a 25% stake in Virgin Australia, with an interesting twist. A WWII-era bomb long-buried under a taxiway at Miyazaki Airport in Japan explodes. And NOAA is getting a new pair of hurricane hunter aircraft.
Plus, we sit down with Capt. David Surridge, American Airlines’ director of air traffic management to learn more about ADS-B IN and how the airline is working with the FAA to gain operational efficiencies and save money in the process.

Great broadcast! You guys are great orators, clear speaking, no pregnant pauses, no ahs or ums, just smooth conversation. So appreciated!
Back in 1988/89, I knew a pilot who was among the first to have winglets on his single engine aircraft. He was the laughing stock of the active pilots in Edmonton Alberta. It is interesting to see how far winglet use has come.
What a great show !!! Love it !!!
It’s so interesting.
