46.  
47.  
48.  
49. <p>“No one enjoys flying through turbulence, whether you’re piloting a single-engine piston or riding in the back of a jet,” said Henrik Hansen, ForeFlight’s chief technology officer.</p>
50.  
51.  
52.  
53. <p>ForeFlight says the additional feature within the mobile app displays the measured intensity of turbulence at multiple altitudes, making it easy for pilots to find the smoothest altitude along their flight path. ForeFlight Mobile automatically uploads the reports once it establishes an internet connection after the flight or instantly if connectivity is maintained during flight, according to officials.</p>
54.  
55.  
56.  
57. <p>Turbulence reports are depicted as colored markers on the Maps tab: Gray signifies smooth air, while yellow, orange and dark orange represent increasing levels of turbulence, ranging from light to severe.</p>
58.  
59.  
60.  
61. <p>While pilots traditionally rely on weather forecasts and PIREPs for route planning, ForeFlight says its Reported Turbulence method offers distinct advantages, including enhanced accuracy and objective reporting.</p>
62.  
63.  
64.  
65. <p>ForeFlight estimates its Reported Turbulence layer offers 50 times more turbulence reports than manual PIREPs, per <em><a href="https://ipadpilotnews.com/2024/04/foreflight-introduces-crowdsourced-turbulence-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sporty’s IPAD Pilot News.</a> </em></p>
66.  
67.  
68.  
69. <p>Reported Turbulence is available as two add-ons for Pro Plus subscribers. Reported Turbulence (Low) offers access to turbulence reports up to 14,000 feet, whereas Reported Turbulence (All) provides access to reports across all altitudes.</p>

140.  
141. <p>Despite reporting a first-quarter revenue of $6.3 billion, the low-cost carrier incurred a loss of $231 million in the first quarter of 2024, surpassing the $159 million loss it took in the same period last year.</p>
142.  
143.  
144.  
145. <p>As the world’s largest carrier of 737 MAX aircraft, Southwest has been reeling in the effects of Boeing’s manufacturing woes. The airline says it expects to receive 20 aircraft deliveries from Boeing this year, a significant decrease from its initial projection of 46 aircraft. Additionally, the carrier says it plans to cut 2,000 jobs and offer voluntary time off programs.</p>
146.  
147.  
148.  
149. <p>&#8220;The recent news from Boeing regarding further aircraft delivery delays presents significant challenges for both 2024 and 2025,&#8221; Southwest CEO Bob Jordan said on Thursday.</p>
150.  
151.  
152.  
153. <p>Meanwhile, American Airlines announced a quarterly loss of $312 million but maintained an optimistic outlook for its earnings in the current quarter. According to the <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/business/southwest-airlines-boeing-airports.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Times</a></em>, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines reported narrower losses than expected in the first three months of the year, while Delta Air Lines was the only major carrier to report a profit in the first quarter.</p>

181. <p>Although substantial, the numbers were better than analysts had expected—especially in the midst of management shakeups, whistleblower claims and ongoing production delays.</p>
182.  
183.  
184.  
185. <p>The company&#8217;s reputation has taken a hit since the Jan. 5 midair door plug blowout, which led to the grounding of its of its 737-9 MAX fleet. The setback seems to have derailed Boeing in recovering from the two fatal MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019.</p>
186.  
187.  
188.  
189. <p>&#8220;Our first quarter results reflect the immediate actions we&#8217;ve taken to slow down 737 production to drive improvements in quality,&#8221; said&nbsp;Dave Calhoun, Boeing president and CEO. &#8220;We will take the time necessary to strengthen our quality and safety management systems and this work will position us for a stronger and more stable future.&#8221;</p>
190.  
191.  
192.  
193. <p>According to an <em><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/boeing-q1-results-better-than-expected-after-tumultuous-quarter-headlined-by-737-max-crisis/ar-AA1nAmlM" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MSN</a> report</em>, Boeing’s first-quarter deliveries indicated a total shipment of 83 aircraft, including 67 737 jets, three 767s and 13 787 Dreamliner wide-body jets. The total reflects a 47% decrease compared to the same period last year, during which Boeing delivered 130 aircraft.</p>
194.  
195.  
196.  
197. <p>Despite its challenges, Boeing managed to secure 131 gross orders in the first quarter, maintaining a commercial order backlog of 5,591 planes valued at some $448 billion.</p>

405. <p>On Tuesday (April 23), Gulfstream Aerospace announced it delivered the first two G700s to U.S.-based customers. Both are now in service with their buyers. The deliveries come less than a month after Gulfstream received FAA type and production certification (March 29 and April 8, respectively) for the new, Rolls-Royce Pearl 700-powered G700. The engines have greater than 18,000 pounds of thrust, each.</p>
406.  
407.  
408.  
409. <p>The FAA nods, entry-into-service, and as many as 15 deliveries had been expected by the end of last year. But delays in the certification process, largely attributed to FAA staffing woes, have slowed the progress for the new model. The good news for Gulfstream is that this year’s deliveries for all models are expected to spike to as many as 160 aircraft, a boost of some 44 percent. Mark Burns, Gulfstream president, said, “We appreciate the confidence our customers have demonstrated in our aircraft and look forward to continuing these deliveries in the weeks ahead.”</p>
410.  
411.  
412.  
413. <p>The $75 million G700, which Gulfstream says features “the most spacious cabin in the industry,” also features a maximum range of 7,750 nautical miles (at Mach 0.85). The twinjet can cover legs of 6,650 nautical miles at Mach 0.90. Its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.935, making it the fastest business jet in the Gulfstream line. And the G700’s pressurization system enables the “industry’s lowest cabin altitude,” according to the Savannah, Georgia-based manufacturer.</p>

436. <p>The Queen of the Skies is one tough old bird. Lufthansa has confirmed what all 345 people onboard one of its 747-8s already knew when the aircraft thundered onto LAX&#8217;s Runway 24 on Wednesday. The airline said there was training going on when the plane hit hard and began to porpoise before the crew firewalled it for a go-around. The video was captured during Airline Videos Live&#8217;s streaming of the comings and goings at LAX.</p>
437.  
438.  
439.  
440. <p>The airline said the flight crew and maintenance had a look after the second successful try and declared the plane reusable for the return flight to Frankfurt. &#8220;Following an assessment by the cockpit crew, a consultation with the technical department on site and in Frankfurt and an initial visual inspection, the aircraft (registration D-ABYP) flew back to Frankfurt,&#8221; Lufthansa said in a statement. Maintenance staff will give it another going-over at the home base.</p>

464. <p>The National Air Transport Association (NATA) says General Aviation Modifications Inc.&#8217;s (GAMI) FAA-approved G100UL is not yet &#8220;commercially available&#8221; even though the licensed manufacturer of the unleaded avgas, Vitol Aviation, has more than a million gallons of it for sale. In a statement, the organization, which represents FBOs and fuel distributors, said that because G100UL has not been granted a consensus standard by ASTM International, it cannot be considered commercially available. &#8220;Because the FAA does not indemnify any entity in the supply chain for damages caused by fuel-related issues, fuel distributors and FBOs will similarly lack assurances that the unleaded fuel they are selling will not expose them to liability,&#8221; the statement says. &#8220;At present, G100UL is not commercially available for distribution and sale in the U.S. largely due to the fact it does not have an ASTM International product specification.&#8221;</p>
465.  
466.  
467.  
468. <p>G100UL has an STC that covers every engine in every certified aircraft on the FAA registry. GAMI founder George Braly has argued that an ASTM specification is not a prerequisite for commercial availability. The opposing positions take on new significance in California where an environmental group is trying to force several dozen FBOs to sell G100UL. The FBOs were signatories to a consent agreement that resulted from a suit by the Center for Environmental Health over leaded avgas in 2018. That agreement compels the FBOs to offer a lower lead alternative for sale as soon as one becomes &#8220;commercially available,&#8221; and the CEH has sent letters to them all saying that G100UL must be offered.</p>
469.  
470.  
471.  
472. <p>NATA says it has heard from some of those FBOs who have taken the position that because it lacks an ASTM standard and hasn&#8217;t been properly tested and approved to be mixed with other fuels, G100UL is therefore not commercially available. &#8220;NATA’s understanding is that most distributors and FBOs do not believe that G100UL is &#8216;Commercially Available&#8217; as defined in the settlement and have provided a detailed response to CEH explaining their reasoning. NATA shares the position of these distributors and FBOs.&#8221; The stakes have also been raised somewhat in that there&#8217;s a <a href="https://sd20.senate.ca.gov/news/protecting-communities-across-california-sb-1193-banning-sale-leaded-aviation-fuel" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bill working its way</a> through the state legislature that would ban leaded avgas.</p>
473.  
474.  
475.  
476. <p>NATA is a member of the End Aviation Gasoline Lead Emissions (EAGLE) group and its president Curt Castagna is the co-chairman of EAGLE. The organization held a <a href="https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/eagle-projects-approval-for-pafi-unleaded-fuel-in-2025/">press briefing</a> on Tuesday updating media and stakeholders on its efforts to find and transition to a suitable unleaded fuel. </p>
477.  
478.  
479.  
480. <p><em>AVweb</em> has asked the Center for Environmental Health for comment on the question of commercial availability but has not received a response.</p>

507. <p>Stars and Stripes <a href="https://www.stripes.com/branches/air_force/2024-04-25/air-force-hercules-marathon-flight-13652191.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported today</a> (April 25) that a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules four-engine turboprop established a new record by flying direct from Dyess Air Force Base (AFB) in Texas to Andersen AFB in Guam. The C-130J made a single fuel stop in Hawaii, with a total flight time of 26 hours, 33 minutes.</p>

510.  
511. <p>Since C-130s are not equipped for air-to-air refueling, the April 18 flight used a pair of external fuel tanks, according to the USAF 7th Bomb Wing press release. Two separate crews from the USAF 40th Airlift Squadron began shifting their circadian rhythms 49 hours in advance to help complete the marathon mission, meant to spotlight the Super Hercules’s maximum endurance capability.</p>
512.  
513.  
514.  
515. <p>USAF Captain and pilot Anna Santori said, “The external tanks have new capabilities for us, allowing us to fly farther without refueling. It gives us about 17,000 pounds of fuel, which translates to roughly four extra hours of flying.” The Super Hercules will now participate in exercises focused on enabling refueling and deployments in forward areas not previously accessible in the area near the Luzon Strait near Taiwan. The aircraft, whose internal and external fuel tanks can also serve as refueling assets for remote locations, can also transport U.S. Marines from Lal-Lo to Batan Island, “a strategically important island in the northern island chain that USAF mobility aircraft have not been to in over a decade,” according to the Air Force, which added, “Utilizing our external fuel tanks and ability to land in austere locations, we will be able to provide fuel for follow-on missions from USMC aircraft.”</p>
