FAA imposes 5G operating limits on aircraft flying to Canada from 1 July, with ~1,000 US-registered aircraft affected

The FAA issued new operating limitations and airworthiness directives tied to 5G radio-frequency interference risk for aircraft operating in Canadian airspace starting 1 July. The rules require equipment “tolerant” capability or radio-altimeter upgrades and block non-tolerant jets from certain low-visibility approaches.

FAA proposes new noise standards to enable civil supersonic travel over the continental U.S. The FAA is proposing new civil supersonic noise standards aimed at making overland supersonic travel across the continental United States possible. The rulemaking would adjust the regulatory framework governing aircraft noise impacts as supersonic operations move closer to practical deployment.

FAA decision clears SpaceX rocket launch licensing while tightening employee stock-trading restrictions The FAA has licensed SpaceX’s rocket launches, authorizing the company’s launch activities under the agency’s safety framework. Separately, the FAA is directing that employees can’t purchase SpaceX stock, signaling additional compliance guardrails tied to regulatory oversight.

FAA breaks ground on advanced air mobility test range in Oklahoma City to support eVTOL testing and integration The FAA has broken ground on an Advanced Air Mobility test range in Oklahoma City, designed to support eVTOL aircraft testing, pilot training, and system integration. The range is intended to provide a dedicated environment for evaluating emerging urban air mobility operations ahead of broader commercialization.

White House order and FAA NPRM target a new path for overland U.S. supersonic flight via a sonic-boom–based noise standard A White House executive order directs the FAA to finalize supersonic noise certification standards by mid-2027. In parallel, the FAA proposes ending the decades-old blanket overland supersonic ban by moving to a measurable ground-impact/sonic-boom noise standard that would allow civil aircraft to exceed Mach 1 when they do not create a sonic boom at the surface, including in the “Mach cut-off” regime.

FAA prepares mandate requiring aircraft-technology to improve pilots’ awareness of nearby traffic after D.C. midair collision Federal aviation regulators are moving toward a sweeping mandate for technology designed to help pilots see nearby aircraft, a change advocated for years by safety advocates following the deadly midair collision in Washington, D.C. last year.
