FAA
TWEAKS DRONE RULES
The FAA on Monday released some revisions
to its rules governing the use of unmanned aircraft systems in the
National Airspace System. The changes increase the allowable weight for
UAS operated by law enforcement agencies from 4.4 pounds to 25 pounds,
and also establish a procedure for those agencies to obtain a waiver to
fly UAS. The applicant will first get a waiver for training and
performance evaluation, then "when the organization has shown
proficiency in flying its UAS," it will receive an operational waiver.
The FAA said it has already streamlined its procedures for obtaining
waivers and lengthened the duration of operational waivers from 12
months to 24 months. More...

NEW
'BARR' RULES OPEN FOR COMMENT
The FAA will accept comments
until June 8, 2012, on revised rules (PDF) for what used to be called the Block Aircraft
Registration Request program, which allows aircraft owners to prevent
public access to information tied to their aircraft N-number. The FAA
wanted to all but scrap that ability last year but was blocked by
Congress by an amendment in an appropriations bill. At the time, the FAA
said it would present new rules for participation in the program; the
Notice of Proposed Process appeared in the Federal Register May 9.
Aircraft already on the list will be automatically included under the
new rules but the rulemaking sets out some specific criteria for new
applicants. More...

INSIDER BLOG: THE F-22 DEBACLE
Ya gotta give the two Air
Force officers who went on record dissing the F-22's oxygen system
credit. It took a set of stones to do that. The larger question is what
will the Air Force do about this flawed super fighter, the most
expensive fighter aircraft in U.S. history by orders of magnitude? In
his latest post to the AVweb Insider blog, Paul Bertorelli asks,
"Are they really holding Lockheed Martin's feet to the fire to fix this
thing?" Read
more and join the conversation. More...
