Crave Aviation curates the day's most useful airline, GA, and training stories — plus practical tips from people who fly for a living.
A temporary outage at a Minnesota air traffic control facility grounded flights across the Midwest on Friday, the FAA said, according to ABC News. When a control facility goes dark, even briefly, the disruption spreads fast — departures held, arrivals rerouted, and schedules tangled across the region.
Nashville International is in the middle of a major build-out, and WZTV walks through what is changing at BNA. For a fast-growing airport, the projects are about keeping pace with passenger growth — more room, smoother flows, and a terminal that fits the city it serves.
The Washington Post looks at the contest for Washington’s best airport lounge, where airlines and card programs are competing for travelers’ downtime. Lounges have become a battleground amenity — and in D.C., the race is on to offer the quietest seat, the best food, and the shortest walk to the gate.
Panasonic Avionics says it has now sold 500,000 of its Astrova 4K OLED seatback screens, Runway Girl Network reports. The system is flying with more than 45 airlines across more than 150 aircraft programs — a sign that crisp, modern seatback entertainment is still winning cabin space.
Aero-News Network’s Classic Aero-TV looks at how Avilution is growing its footprint in general aviation. For a GA-focused outfit, expanding its presence means more touchpoints with the pilots, schools, and shops that keep light aviation flying.
United Therapeutics plans a corporate hangar at Rochester International Airport, with construction set to begin in early 2027, Avi-Go reports. A new corporate hangar means more based aircraft, more local aviation activity, and another vote of confidence in the airport’s future.
Honeywell Aerospace’s 35th annual Global Business Aviation Outlook sees the sector still growing over the next decade, Runway Girl Network reports. More deliveries, bigger fleets, and more hours flown — plus a shift beyond traditional ownership toward charter and managed fleets — are driving the forecast.
Airmont and DPI Labs have put their live television solution into operation on a Boeing Business Jet, Runway Girl Network reports. The setup pairs Airmont’s StreamTime delivery with DPI Labs’ certified cabin platform, bringing live TV to the business-jet cabin in this configuration.
The regs allow 30 minutes day / 45 night. A 60-minute personal minimum costs almost nothing in planning and buys you every alternate you might ever need. (Tip #1)
The time to turn around is when you first think about turning around. Waiting "to see if it clears" is how the accident reports start. (Tip #2)
Fly the wing down into the wind all the way to the runway, keep the upwind wheel down first, and don't let the controls go neutral after touchdown — increase aileron deflection as you slow. (Tip #3)
Ten quiet minutes walking through flows, checklists, and the "what if" before engine start does more for your performance than ten more hours of rote flying. (Tip #4)
