  1. The #FAA requires all active aircraft to be registered with the agency, with exceptions that include periods of ownership transfer & “aircraft of the national defense forces of the United States,” according to federal #law.​
    
That registration number had been reserved by a company that has no obvious website & lists its address as a mailbox at a UPS store in Virginia, records show.

  2. Radio communications & flight-tracking data…show the plane, a Cessna Citation Longitude, arriving in El Salvador from Tennessee with a crew of 6 in November.
    
It flew under a #US registration number, according to radio transmissions, & taxied to a #military section of the airport upon landing. Available #FAA documents show no aircraft registered to that number.

  3. When stopped by Police Sargent Drone, step away from the car and put hands in the air! <joke> 😃

    Drone as a First Responder - DFR! DFR programs are exploding across the USA.

    As of Feb 2026, over 1,000 public safety agencies—police, fire, emergency management agencies, have received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) waivers needed to automate drone operations and launch a DFR program.

    Concerns re invasion of privacy and the safety of "automated" flight operations are being flagged already.

    So this happened Thursday afternoon at #MSP #TwinCities #FAA

    Described as “brief” outage, but we arrived at our destination 3 hours late.

    Maybe they didn’t tell new hires not to play their favorite video games while on the job.

  5. When the #FAA released its draft powered-lift safety continuum for #eVTOL aircraft two years ago, it appeared to be moving closer to harmonization with #EASA. Not anymore. In my latest story for The Air Current, I break down what's changed. #aviation #electricaviation theaircurrent.com/regulation/f
