☆ It looks like Elon Musk started using a new program that blocks jet tracking after the man who follows his plane wouldn't take his Twitter account down
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Grace Kay | Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The program allows aircraft owners to apply for a temporary aircraft registration number that is not currently attached to any other plane — meaning that celebrities like Musk can essentially fly anonymously. The PIA program allows aircraft owners to switch out their registration number every 60 days. The incognito registration number also doesn't prevent Sweeney from tracking the private jet via ADS-B Exchange, a public flight-tracking database.

☆ Elon Musk and Donald Trump are trying new ways to dodge jet-tracking Twitter accounts — but its not a 'silver bullet'

Jet-tracker Jack Sweeney rocked the boat when he started posting Elon Musk's private jet flights on Twitter. Celebrities can block their jets on certain websites via a special federal program, but Sweeney says it doesn't help. Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault is one: He recently sold his private aircraft so "no one can see where I go." The program allows private aircraft owners to block their planes from being tracked by websites like FlightAware and FlightRadar24 because they use FAA data.

☆ FAA refuses to let regional airline hire co-pilots with less experience because it believes the plan poses a risk to safety
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The FAA blocked Republic Airways' request to cut the number of hours co-pilots need to fly for training. Republic Airways said the proposal would help address the pilot shortage, but the FAA disagreed. The FAA said in a denial exemption that Republic's request "would adversely affect safety." The FAA said Republic's pilot training cannot be compared with military training programs, per the denial exemption. The agency added the argument that Republic's request would address "a perceived pilot shortage" was "overly simplistic."
☆ FAA rejects proposal to halve flight-time requirement for pilots as shortage prompts route cuts
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday said it has rejected a proposal to halve the number of hours required to become a co-pilot, as a severe shortage of aviators prompts carriers to cut routes. Normally, 1,500 hours of flight time are required before a new pilot can fly commercially, though there is an exception for certain military experience that cuts the requirement in half. The so-called 1,500-hour rule was passed after the fatal Colgan Air crash in February 2009 near Buffalo, New York. The crash also led to new requirements for a minimum period of rest for pilots before a flight. The FAA's decision comes as airlines grapple with a severe shortfall of pilots, which executives have blamed on service cuts, particularly to small cities.

☆ Elon Musk wants SpaceX's biggest rocket ready to launch in July, but experts say he may not get his wish
  + stars: | 2022-06-26 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Elon Musk might not be ready to launch SpaceX's Starship rocket in July, space industry experts say. SpaceX has to carry out the FAA's 75 actions by then, but two experts said they were fairly minor. Starship is a fully reusable rocket that SpaceX wants to send to the Earth's orbit and outer space. With July just days away, experts in the space industry aren't convinced Starship will be ready to launch by then. SpaceX and Musk have predicted various dates for the Starship launch.
☆ Elon Musk says SpaceX's Starship rocket will be ready to fly in July — but the company needs to comply with the FAA's 75 terms first
  + stars: | 2022-06-15 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
Elon Musk said SpaceX's Starship spacecraft will be ready to launch into orbit in July. A second Starship prototype will fly in August and SpaceX is planning monthly flights, Musk said. "Starship will be ready to fly next month," Musk tweeted. His tweets came after the FAA found no significant environmental impact with SpaceX's launch site in Boca Chica, meaning the company can expand its launch site in South Texas, known as Starbase. Before SpaceX launches Starship, it needs to take more than 75 actions, listed in the FAA's 43-page review, to mitigate the environmental impacts.
☆ Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket site expansion coincides with a decline in bird numbers in the local area, investigators say
  + stars: | 2022-05-04 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
SpaceX's expansion of its Texas rocket site correlates with falling bird numbers, officials say. SpaceX wants to expand the site with another launch and landing pad ahead of a Starship rocket launch. Elon Musk's space company wants to expand its Texas rocket site, Starbase, by adding a second launch and landing pad where the company's huge Starship rocket can lift off from. The wildlife agency's letter was part of the FAA's environmental review of SpaceX's plans at its Boca Chica rocket launch site. SpaceX can only carry out orbital launches of the Starship rocket once the FAA finishes its assessment and gives the company the green light.
☆ SpaceX's Texas expansion plans hit by a fourth FAA delay over environmental concerns
  + stars: | 2022-04-30 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The FAA has delayed issuing its review of SpaceX's proposed expansion at its Texas launch site. Getting the FAA's sign-off is key to SpaceX's plans to launch its huge Starship rocket into orbit. The company can only begin orbital launches of its huge Starship rocket once the FAA's assessment is complete. SpaceX's expansion plans hit another hurdle last month as the US Army Corps of Engineers wanted more information on the environmental impact of the plans on local endangered species and surrounding areas. It is not clear whether the repeated delays have impacted the likelihood of an orbital Starship launch.
☆ 'If it blows up, it's cool': The far-out philosophy that explains why Elon Musk won't let a few baby sea turtles stop SpaceX's quest to get to Mars

In the case of Elon Musk v. Charismatic Megafauna, the agency intends to publish its final report in late April. Musk went on: "Either explicitly or implicitly some people seem to think that humans are a blight on the Earth's surface. Musk is talking about existential risk, the idea that something — an asteroid, a rogue artificial intelligence — might kill every human on Earth. And if you assume that future human minds will "mainly be implemented in computational hardware instead of biological neuronal wetware," as Bostrom does, you end up with a mind-boggling 1054 human lives. Musk has made the defense of "future life" his mission.
