Another bad landing, this time in Halifax. Apparently a landing gear malfunction. Fortunately the outcome was not serious as per the SK incident a few hours earlier. The aircraft was a Dash-8.

They are already assembling the first prototype, but this is the first time i heard about this TVRS-44 program, indeed in the same class as ATR42 and N245.
Many aircraft development programs in Russia ending up in the prototype stage (like in a certain country in South-East Asia), so i wonder if they can finish this one.

Ryan Air wants a 2 drink limit at airports. If airlines kept scheduling better there wouldn’t be a need for more than two over priced drinks at an airport! Delayed flights fuel passenger anger, booze just amplifies the problem airlines create, weather events excepted.

This time an aviation disaster in the US..... its remarkable that so many accidents happen in such a short time.
So a American Airlines regional jet collided with a UH-60 near Reagan National Airport, Washington DC.
It seems to be a Blackhawk of the army.

Update
|" Het passagiersvliegtuig is een Bombardier CRJ700-toestel van PSA Airlines, een regionale luchtvaartmaatschappij die onderdeel is van American Airlines. "|
So the aircraft is a Bombardier CRJ-700 with 64 passengers on board and 4 crewmembers, with 3 persons on board the Sikorsky UH-60.

ATC will get rough days ahead on this. Especially under present administration pressure to make government and public agencies accountable.
Now there're talks the Army Blackhawk is flying dark and not emitting ADS-B signals. This is going to get heavier later on.

I heard ATC at Reagan uses two frequencies, one for rotorcraft, one for fixed wing.

By coincidence i found this video.
The visual effects are not that great, but it is a funny video. So with Turkish Airlines it is possible to take your pet into the cabin, after checking in at a special pet check-in counter.
The only animals permitted to travel in the cabin are cats, dogs and small songbirds (budgies, canaries).
The weight of the pet with its crate should not exceed 8 kg. Crate sizes should not exceed 23 cm height, 30 cm width and 40 cm length. Your pets can only be transported in specially designed soft-sided cages/bags.

This is the first time i see that pets can travel in the cabin, but is Turkish Airlines really the first airline to do this?

During this Alaska Airlines flight, a passenger suddenly became aggressive and attacked other passengers. In this video we see a steward punching the aggressive passenger in order to let him release a female passenger in the seat in front of him.

A can of pepper spray would be deemed politically incorrect I assume.

I think pepperspray is not such a good idea in an aircraft cabin....

Depends on how close your seat is to its release I guess.

No, it's always a terrible idea as the air is recirculated in the cabin. And that same air makes it's way into the flight deck. And no one wants pilots with even slightly irritated eyes and blurry visionDepends on how close your seat is to its release I guess.
knuckle sandwich is the only answer or given room a size 10 between the legs. Seen it once on a flight from Bangkok to Singapore the young lady cabin crew handled very nicely, as the grumpy male started to get up from his seat she whacked him on the head with a full plastic bottle of soda, he sat down quickly dazed and the other cabin crew secured him in his seat.

I believe some Airlines in Asia like Korean and Singapore Airlines already equip their flight attendants with stun gun. Garuda unofficialy from what I heard from talking to their pilots already prepared that especially on their long haul International routes where they open alcoholic beverages. The idea that in domestic and regional ASEAN routes, it is short enough that they can reroute for passenger attitude emergency.
Stun Gun in my opinion is better alternative on confined space like in commercial plane.

I don't care with those humanity NGO call this endangering that particular unruly passenger. If there're passenger getting hostile, it is better options to other passenger and the flight attendants.
