Tema helicópteros del FAMET.

Comunicado oficial:

El pasado 14 de junio, durante la fase de ejecución del ejercicio FLEETEX 250, se produjo un fenomeno atmosférico espontáneo (microbust), no previsto por los servicios meteorológicos que produjo daños a los tres helicópteros del ET que se encontraban estacionados en la Base New River del Cuerpo de Marines de los EEUU.

Los helicópteros se encontraban estacionados mientras se preparaban para realizar actividades de adiestramiento con la 26 Unidad Expedicionaria de los Marines durante el citado ejercicio, programado para reforzar la interoperabilidad con fuerza aéreas y navales aliadas.

Voepass ATR 72-500 passenger plane (PS-VPB) 2024 crash report latest update:

The latest CENIPA report on the August 9, 2024 crash of the Brazilian Voepass aircraft indicates that the combination of crew conduct inflight, internal safety management issues of the carrier along with failures of Anac's follow-up would have been behind the accident that killed 62 people in 2024, in Vinhedo, in the interior of São Paulo.

Mônica Bergamo, from Folha de São Paulo, had access to excerpts from the draft report of the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aeronautical Accidents, sent to authorities in France and Canada.

Brazilian CENIPA Draft report: "During a significant portion of the flight, the pilots remained engaged in informal conversations unrelated to the technical and operational management of the aircraft, which reduced the crew's focus on both monitoring the external environment, characterized by the presence of conditions favorable to severe ice formation, and observing the indications and alerts triggered in the cockpit."

"This state of distraction favored the emergence of inattentional blindness and inattentional deafness," according to the CENIPA report.

The agency added further, "organizational culture of the company (Voepass)," fragile in the area of safety, also contributed to the tragedy."

🇵🇰 The wreckage of K2 Airways' Boeing 737-400 freighter (AP-BOI) has been found 53 nautical miles south of Ormara after over 12 hours of intense search by the Pakistan Navy and Maritime Security Agency.
This was a cargo flight from Sharjah to Karachi yesterday evening. The crew reported navigation system problems, then contact was lost. Five crew members on board... all presumed gone. Tragic.

My thoughts with the families of Captain Rizwan Idris, the FO, loadmaster, and engineers.

This is not good news. Following the 1st Drishti-10 crash on Jan 13, 2025, this is now the second crash, occurring at the same Porbandar location.

The crash is classic symptom of either:
(a) GPS-denied maritime multipath and sudden C-band LOS dropout near coastline or
(b) propulsion transient (turboprop torque spike) triggering FCS mode reversion at low altitude.

No ground damage is good news here, but we must push for full FDR and telemetry dump analysis before blaming airframe 👀

A U.S. Air Force UH-1N "Huey" assigned to the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, appears to have made a hard landing in a field near Union Bridge, Maryland, approximately 55 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.

The 1st Helicopter Squadron provides helicopter transportation for senior government and military officials throughout the National Capital Region.

The cause of the apparent hard landing and the condition of those aboard are not yet known.

Some Chetak helicopters down the ages with the Indian Armed Forces.

The Chetak, along with the Cheetah (not in these photos), continue to operate in large numbers across the spectrum. The wait to replace them continues....

Northrop Grumman has released the first-ever photos of the next-generation LGM-35A Sentinel nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

The Sentinel is set to replace the aging Minuteman III ICBMs currently in service with the U.S. military.

IAF's MiG-25 and its mighty camera.

Some photos from our archives. The colour pix of the massive A70M camera was taken on 1 May 2006.

The enigmatic MiG–25 (NATO: Foxbat) served in the
ultra high altitude strategic reconnaissance role with
the Indian Air Force for near 25 years from its induction
on 17 August 1981 till its formal phasing out from service
on 1 May 2006 at Air Force Station Bareilly.

We were there to cover the event.
