In a little-noticed #FAA filing last month, fed regulators requested comments on a proposed rule that would mandate #Boeing update a critical communications malfunction in their 787 Dreamliner plane that could lead to disastrous accidents.

VHF radio channels are transferring b/w the active & standby settings w/o flight crew input. “The uncommanded frequency changes could result in missed communications between the flightcrew & Air Traffic Control."

'Under the FAA’s updated policy, aircraft owners will be able to request that ownership information, including the name and address of the person in possession of the jet, be made private and no longer publicly accessible via FAA services. Jet owners will be able to submit a request through the Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) to withhold registration information. '

"At NASA, after repeated nudges by #Musk, the agency is being squeezed to turn its focus to Mars, allowing #SpaceX to pursue federal contracts...

And at the #FAA & the White House... #Starlink satellite dishes have recently been installed"

“A senior Federal Aviation Administration official said, referring to Musk, “He IS A LEAKER. When you put hard drives on data systems at government agencies you are creating the biggest security breaches we have seen in years and years. Possibly ever.””

" #Musk has been in de facto control of the #FAA through #DOGE for the last 6 weeks. He appears to be on the verge of taking a major contract away from #Verizon & giving it to his company #Starlink...

Text from article: Now, another one of the Starship rockets blew up in January, causing another disruption of air traffic in the southeast. That was Starship Flight 7. But on Friday, February 28th, the FAA announced that it had issued SpaceX a new license to authorizing Starship Flight 8 despite the fact that the investigation into the January explosion was still ongoing. Now maybe Whitacker was just terribly unreasonable. And maybe it made perfect sense to give the go-ahead for another Starship launch only a few weeks after the other explosion. But it seems very reasonable to ask whether Musk’s de facto control over the FAA has led to more lax oversight of his rocket launches. These questions are reasonable and inevitable when you’re in effect running the agency that regulates your rocket launches. Again, the facts currently available don’t prove anything in themselves. But they raise more than enough questions to press for more information about who’s making decisions to keep the skies of the Caribbean safe, and whether reality-star-turned-Transportation-Secretary Sean Duffy is fulfilling his commitments to the American people.

Is Elon Regulating His Own Rockets Now?

"One of Elon Musk’s #Starship rockets exploded over the #GulfOfMexico early yesterday evening, creating a spectacular #fireworks -like display and disrupting commercial air traffic...

#Musk had claimed repeatedly that he was over-regulated by the #FAA, especially after the agency fined #SpaceX $633,000 for launching rockets with unapproved changes."
