NTSB Concerned about proper evacuation procedures after Frontier 4345 The NTSB has not yet determined whether it will open a formal safety investigation. The agency is currently gathering information about the evacuation process. Passenger behavior during the evacuation has drawn scrutiny. AFA president Sara Nelson cited concerns over passengers failing to leave carry-on bags behind, calling it deeply troubling. The FAA issued a SAFO last September directing airlines to re-evaluate evacuation procedures regarding carry-ons, noting that bags slow evacuations, put lives at risk, and can damage emergency slides. The SAFO recommends airlines ensure safety briefings clearly instruct passengers to leave all carry-on items behind, conduct passenger outreach campaigns, and leverage their SMS to evaluate evacuation procedures. AFA is conducting its own investigation into the incident. Measures such as locking overhead bins during flight have been considered previously but were not implemented due to safety concerns. An MSU Denver aviation expert described the crew's rejected takeoff as textbook, noting high marks for both the flight deck and cabin crew. #NTSB #Frontier4345 #EvacuationSafety #PassengerSafety #CarryOnConcerns #AFA #SafetyBriefings #EmergencyEvacuation

Introducing the CineJet MkII from XBRAND. The world’s highest-performance and most maneuverable dedicated camera jet platform. Powered by an upgraded DV2 engine producing nearly 1,200 pounds more thrust than a standard L-39C, the CineJet MkII is capable of more than 400 knots in straight and level flight with a fully stabilized cinema system attached, while reaching speeds approaching 500 knots in a dive. Engineered to sustain maneuvering loads up to 5 Gs with the camera system installed, this is an aerial cinema platform built to operate at the absolute edge of the envelope. But raw performance is only half the equation. For the first time, a specialized cinema gimbal system now exists that can fully operate in that environment: the Phoenix Immortal. Engineered specifically for extreme speed, high aerodynamic loads, and aggressive maneuvering flight, the Phoenix Immortal unlocks an entirely new category of aerial cinematography. The CineJet MkII also features a fully integrated real-time RF broadcast system developed in partnership with RF Film, allowing live cinematic monitoring directly from the ground during high-performance aerial operations. Powered by our partners at the Patriots Jet Team, one of the world’s most experienced L-39 operators, the CineJet MkII is flown by world-renowned Aerial Coordinator and Stunt Pilots Kevin LaRosa and Randy Howell. This is not a slightly modified L-39 camera jet. This is a purpose-built cinematic weapon system operated by the team who brought your the aerials on “Top Gun: Maverick” The next generation of aerial cinematography has arrived.
