BGR Approach & Tower edited down for time/relevance... originals attached... pilot side not audible until landing at BGR... not sure where to find the original declaration of emergency and diversion/handoff to BGR I assume it's ZBW Boston Center ACK 17 but can't find that sector in the archive list.

Listener Forum / ZLA Sector 31- can hear pilots but not the controller.
« Last post by airtrafficjam on March 03, 2024, 05:51:52 PM »
Hi,

On the ZLA Sector 31 feed, I can only hear the pilots talking. No communication from the ATC can be heard. Is the source for the feed out of range from the ATC?

Listener Forum / Re: ADB-S Exhange FAA Charts

So both ADS-B and Airplanes.Live have the FAA Chart tiles back. But there is still a problem with the tile loading. If you zoom in too much you
lose the adjacent map tiles if you move the map around. In congested airplane traffic areas such as NYC airports you get a mass of airplanes,
with the zoom setting that keeps the tiles properly loaded. Hopefully they can get this corrected.

Listener Forum / ZLA Sector 25/28 Feed-cannot hear pilots
« Last post by airtrafficjam on March 03, 2024, 04:49:30 PM »
Hi,

While listening to the Sector 25/28 feed for ZLA, I can clearly hear the controller talking. However, I cannot hear the pilots talking to the controller (most times there is nothing or sometimes there is static). Very rarely do I hear a clear reply back from a pilot.

Is this because the planes in the sector are out of range for the receiver that supplies the feed?

(first time I've heard a Mayday call while on the ground)

Smoke was reported inside the cabin of an American Airlines plane that arrived at New York City's LaGuardia Airport from Chicago Thursday morning.

The Fire Department of New York said it received a "report of smoke in [a] cabin airbus" shortly after 9:30 a.m. Thursday from LaGuardia's main terminal.
American Airlines, in a statement to USA TODAY, said "possible odor" was reported in the cabin of Flight 2084 as it was taxiing to the gate.  "Customers deplaned normally and the aircraft was taken out of service to be inspected by our maintenance team," said the airline. "Safety is our top priority and we appreciate our team members for their professionalism.”
Fire teams and EMS personnel responded to the incident, which was "controlled," said the fire department.

No injuries were reported, said FDNY, and the matter will be handled by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Port Authority, in an email to USA TODAY, said "Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) arrived on scene to assess the situation, and the FAA to investigate."

Aviation News (General) / Boeing Gets 90 Day FAA Ultimatum to Fix Its Quality Woes
« Last post by KB4TEZ on February 29, 2024, 06:39:18 AM »
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/boeing-gets-90-day-faa-ultimatum-to-fix-its-quality-woes/ar-BB1j3guZ?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=e0c00cc5d40a495f81b675e30185ae1e&ei=24

(Bloomberg) -- US regulators issued an ultimatum to Boeing Co. in the wake of a near-catastrophic accident last month, giving the US plane manufacturer 90 days to devise a plan to fix what it called “systemic” quality-control issues.

“Boeing must commit to real and profound improvements,” Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker said in a statement Wednesday, a day after an extensive meeting with Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun. “Making foundational change will require a sustained effort from Boeing’s leadership, and we are going to hold them accountable every step of the way, with mutually understood milestones and expectations.”     The deadline follows a blunt assessment this week of shortfalls in Boeing’s safety culture from a panel of experts who issued their report after a yearlong study. The report, commissioned by Congress in late 2022, found that steps the planemaker had taken to bolster safety following two 737 Max crashes weren’t working as intended and cautioned of a “disconnect” between senior executives and other workers.   In his meeting with Calhoun and top Boeing safety executives, Whitaker said the plan must incorporate results from the safety-culture report along with the forthcoming results of an FAA production-line audit. Boeing must also evolve its Safety Management System program, established in 2019 in response to the crashes, and integrate this with a quality management system that applies the same level of oversight to suppliers.

“Boeing must take a fresh look at every aspect of their quality-control process and ensure that safety is the company’s guiding principle,” Whitaker said.
While Whitaker chose strong words to fault Boeing, he didn’t resort to some of the harsher measures at his disposal, like halting 737 Max deliveries outright. That gave investors some reason for optimism, sending the shares up as much as 3.2% in US trading.

The outcome of Calhoun’s meeting with agency officials “could have been worse, the FAA could have imposed a plan,” said George Ferguson, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence.

Boeing has a “clear picture of what needs to be done,” Calhoun said in an emailed statement, citing the employee feedback gained through quality stand-downs in its factories, findings from the unfinished FAA audit and the expert review panel report.

“Transparency prevailed in all of these discussions,” Calhoun said. “Boeing will develop the comprehensive action plan with measurable criteria that demonstrates the profound change that Administrator Whitaker and the FAA demand. Our Boeing leadership team is totally committed to meeting this challenge.” 

Boeing has faced heightened scrutiny from regulators, lawmakers and customers after a fuselage panel covering an unused door flew off while an Alaska Airlines 737 Max was airborne on Jan. 5. Investigators later determined the jet was delivered without four bolts needed to lock the door plug in place.

Whitaker has visited Boeing’s Seattle-area 737 factory in recent weeks, while Calhoun has made multiple public apologies. The FAA administrator has already taken the highly unusual step of capping output of the Boeing narrowbody until he’s satisfied Boeing has full control over the quality of work in its factories and those of its suppliers.

The US regulator has teams of inspectors auditing work at Boeing and suppliers like Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc., which builds most of the 737 airframe in Wichita, Kansas. Work should wrap up on the review of the planemaker’s production and manufacturing systems in the coming weeks, the FAA said. An investigation of Boeing’s “alleged noncompliance” is also under way.

Boeing has stepped up inspections since the Alaska Airlines near-miss, while adding new protocols to document when a door plug is removed within its factories. The planemaker has also deployed more employees to Spirit and added inspections of the work done there before the 737 fuselages are shipped by rail to Seattle.

The planemaker has also shaken up the executive ranks of its commercial division, placing Katie Ringgold in charge of the 737 program, while promoting Elizabeth Lund to a new post as senior vice president of quality that also gives her oversight of companywide initiatives.

The other pilot may have viewed it as down, but not locked down.
all ok.

An incident involving a private aircraft occurred at Page Field Airport in South Fort Myers on Wednesday.

According to authorities at Page Field, nobody was injured in the incident involving the private aircraft around noon on Wednesday.  After the incident, authorities explained the aircraft suffered collapsed landing gear.

For the last month or so, I can hear pilots but no controllers on YEG tower frequency. Is it just me?
