Italian aircraft accident investigation authority ANSV has determined that for a takeoff from Verona, Italy, on September 1, 2009, 87 passengers flying onwards to Rome were not redistributed. 58 of these passengers had been in the rear cabin and another 25 in the center cabin, with just 4 in the front. The passengers were supposed to be redistributed with 29 seated in each cabin. Originally, the tail-strike accident was attributed to an imbalance due to luggage distribution, but upon further investigation, probable cause has been identified to be due to uneven passenger load.

Pratt & Whitney, IAE, and MTU aerospace have come together to form what is now known as the MTU Maintenance Canada V2500-A5 maintenance line. Creating a newer division that will allow for maintance upon the V2500-A5 aircrafts all over the world. Newly certified by the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Authority the maintenance program has proven to be capable of reaching high levels of criteria the Aviation Authority requires. The building of the maintance line will allow for newer opportunities for aftermarket networking for as long as the V2500 program exist. Read more >>

Many users have experienced the unfortunate event of having their SiC MOSFETs over heat due to high voltages and switching of the voltages. Many of the SiC MOSFETs have been worn down due to isolation barriers. Due to unfortunate events such as these the Electronic Company RECOM, they have created a new way to not only save the unit but increase its longevity when continuously switching the voltage. RECOM released a 2W DC/DC converter family that is specifically designed for the newest SiC MOSFETs editions. The RxxP21503D has become a key part for the SiC MOSFETs when turning the voltages on and off which is one of the SiCs most common characteristics. Read more >>
