A Denver-bound United 757 hit severe turbulence hard enough that unbelted occupants were thrown into the ceiling and overhead bins before landing safely. ✈

Why turbulence injuries keep happening

Sudden vertical jolts can cause head, neck, and back injuries to unbelted occupants, leading to hospital evaluations. Clear-air turbulence is invisible to radar, and the Rockies' mountain-wave environments create operational challenges. The FAA typically reviews such events to see if forecasting or procedures can be improved. 👇

A U.S.-registered Gulfstream declared an emergency, returned to La Romana, executed a go-around, and attempted a second landing before crashing in flames. Two pilots were killed; no passengers were on board. ✈

The final approach under scrutiny

The crew declared an emergency 16 nautical miles from the airport. After a go-around on the first approach, they attempted a second approach from the opposite direction. The aircraft touched down at high speed, causing the gear to collapse and the jet to veer off the runway into a fire. Investigators are now focusing on approach speed, potential systems failures, and the recovery of flight recorders. 👇

One year after the deadliest aviation accident of the 2020s, India’s AAIB must either publish the final Flight 171 report or formally explain where the investigation stands ✈

Why this report matters

The Boeing 787-8 crashed 32 seconds after takeoff, killing 241 people aboard and at least 19 on the ground. A preliminary report stated both engines lost thrust after fuel control switches moved from RUN to CUTOFF, with no mechanical fault found in the engines or fuel systems. 👇

This is the ADSB flight track of N318JF before they touched down. Looks like they were trying to burn down fuel.

[AviatorDB @AviatorDB]

This is what we know about this plane. N318JF is a 2004 Israel Aircraft Industries GULFSTREAM 200 owned by AIBONITO AVIATION LLC out of PR. They have their ADSB Flight records blocked. Last time we spotted it was June 3 in San Juan.
