Video shows the airplane’s engine throwing sparks in bursts out of the back of the engine. It isn’t immediately clear what caused the incident, but the FAA said the aircraft had a “Softball sized hole” above the incident engine. The crew returned to Miami and landed without injuries. We’ll let you know if we see more. New up this week is Zenith Aircraft, who will be hosting a hands-on workshop for kit aircraft! The event will be February 23 and 24th at Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1), north of San Antonio, Texas. Participants will learn to read blueprints, drilling, blind riveting, will learn the process for assembling an aircraft, and will leave with an assembled rudder kit for a Zenith Aircraft. Fees for the event are $375 for a Zenith rudder kit, and 425 for a CH 750 model kit. If you’re in the area, this seems to be a pretty cool workshop opportunity. Third this week is MOSAIC, which closed comments after a number of major aviation groups asked for tweaks. The primary requested changes include increasing the maximum clean stall speed to 57kts and increasing the number of passengers from one to three, allowing sport pilots the ability to fly more aircraft. As of Monday, the NPRM had more than 1200 comments. We’ll keep you updated when we see a final rule from the FAA.
