Podcasts about Avcon

AirAsia places a large A220 order, a Frontier jet collides with a pedestrian, Boeing hopes for a mega-deal in China, power banks in the cabin are in the cross-hairs, the Senate hopes to save the last three Tomcats, and FedEx plans to return MD-11s to service. Also, preliminary information about AvCon 2027, upcoming airshows and fly-ins, and a detailed explanation of weight and balance for airliners. Aviation News Air Asia orders for 150 A220s, giving program a big boost; launches high density version AirAsia becomes the launch customer for a 160 PAX high-density version of the Airbus A220 currently under development. The order from the Malaysian LCC brings total A220 orders to more than 1,000. Airbus wants to increase the production rate to 14 per month, and this order will help. Deliveries could begin in late 2027 or early 2028. Credit: Airbus Tony Fernandes, Chief Executive Officer of Capital A (the holding company of AirAsia), said “My philosophy has been built on a very strong network. Two of the driving factors of AirAsia's network are that 60% of our routes are routes that were never done before. We go into secondary and tertiary cities. And the second underlying principle of what we do is frequency. So, obviously, we've bought a lot of A321s, which have 244 seats. Not every route pairing could fill 244 seats.” Person who jumped perimeter fence is hit and killed by Frontier plane during takeoff on Denver runway, airport says A person crossed the perimeter fence and a runway at Denver International Airport and was subsequently struck and killed by a departing Frontier Airlines plane, Flight 4345. The flight was aborted, and a brief engine fire was extinguished. Twelve people reported minor injuries in the evacuation, and five were taken to local hospitals. Potential 600-aircraft Boeing mega-order from China hinges on Trump-Xi summit President Donald Trump's business delegation is visiting China, and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg is reportedly attending. Thirteen Chinese domestic carriers operate 97 737 MAX aircraft, and Boeing is hopeful that with Trump's help, as many as 500 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and about 100 widebody jets can be ordered. In April 2026, Ortberg said, “Without the administration's support, I don't think we'll see any near-term large orders out of China. It really is something that would be tied to the effort from the administration.” The CAAC does not simply rubber-stamp Western approvals. It runs a parallel, sovereign certification process based on the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) signed by the US and China in 2005, with the operational details specified in the Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness (IPA). Airlines Are Cracking Down on Portable Power Banks According to ICAO, power banks caused more reported airplane fires and thermal runaway incidents than any other lithium-battery device in 2025. FAA data shows that airlines reported lithium battery events involving fire, smoke, or extreme heat nearly twice a week on average in 2025. Airlines ban power banks in checked luggage and are now implementing new rules for these devices brought on board. ‘Maverick Act' saves last 3 F-14 Tomcats from destruction The US Navy has just three remaining F-14D Tomcats. The aircraft were retired in 2006, but the U.S. Senate wants to ensure that those three jets survive and maybe even fly. S. 4161, the Maverick Act, passed by the Senate but not yet enacted, authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to transfer the three F-14D Tomcats to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. The Commission could put the aircraft on display or operate them at “an airshow … or a commemorative event to preserve United States naval aviation heritage.” FedEx's MD-11 comeback to start with short cargo flight to Miami FedEx hopes to repair and return to service 29 grounded MD-11 freighter aircraft. The company proposes to send technicians to 16 locations worldwide, where they will remove the engine pylons and transport them to maintenance facilities in Indianapolis and Memphis. There, Boeing redesigned bearings will be installed, and the pylons will be returned to the aircraft. MD-11 operations were halted after the November 4, 2025, crash of UPS Flight 2976 in Louisville, Kentucky. See: FAA Ends MD-11 Grounding After Boeing Review Mentioned AvCon is billed as “The world's only convention built for aviation fans by aviation creators.” The organizers say,  “Based on the success of 2026, we've extended this – so for THREE amazing days, we're taking over the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando, Florida for panels, merch, meet-ups, and good old-fashioned AvGeek fun. Whether you're a YouTube fan, private pilot, model collector, or airline loyalty nerd — join us aboard.” May 21, 21 & 22 2027” [sic].

In this episode, we sit down with Jeb Brooks, Josh Cahill, and Noel Philips in a special episode from AvCon 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The decline of enjoyment in today's air travel experience, special TSA treatment for Congress members, consolidating ATC functions, TRACON evacuations, Artemis II, Part 141 training organizations, and aerial refueling. Also, Av-Con 2026, Spacewoman documentary, “souls onboard,” and EAS. Aviation News ‘The alarm bells are going off': Air travel hits new lows Recent events have made commercial air travel a difficult proposition for many air travelers. We see increasing fuel costs and increasing ticket prices, long lines at some security checkpoints, TSA workers absent, recent accidents, air traffic controller shortages, equipment malfunctions, and more. The U.S. Travel Association's senior vice president of government relations, Erik Hansen, said of passengers, “What they're seeing is chaos, and what they're seeing is a system that doesn't work.” Delta suspends special congressional services amid shutdown In a statement to The Hill, Delta said, “Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta. Next to safety, Delta's no. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.” Those services have included airport escorts and red coat services. Senate passes measure prohibiting preferential airport screening for lawmakers Just days before the Delta action, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a proposal to end the special treatment members of Congress get at airports. That included permitting members of Congress to speed through or skip security screening checkpoints. To become law, the House would have to pass the bill, and the President would have to sign it. LaGuardia controller staffing may have violated procedures on night of collision, document shows On March 22, 2026, an Air Canada jet landing at LaGuardia struck a fire truck, killing both pilots. LaGuardia tower’s standard operating procedures specify that a controller cannot perform both air and ground duties. The NTSB is investigating the roles of the controllers at the time of the crash. A 2023 rule in the LaGuardia ​Tower Standard Operating Procedures states, “Positions at LaGuardia Tower are not to be consolidated to one position prior to midnight local time or 90 minutes after the start of the shift, whichever is later.” Those familiar with the matter said the rule remained in effect in 2026. D.C.-area ATC evacuations followed 2025 smoke event which injured controllers On March 13, 2026, FAA operations were disrupted after Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) reported a strong smell. Fire responders investigated, and the source was identified as an overheated circuit board. That incident caused a ground stop lasting a little over two hours, affecting DCA, IAD, BWI, and nearby airports. On March 27, 2026, the TRACON was evacuated again after another strong chemical smell, reportedly originating from an overheated battery backup or other electrical component in the break room/IT area. That second evacuation also triggered ground stops and significant delays across the region. A similar event occurred in April 2025, when smoke entered the Potomac TRACON control room. That incident did not lead to an evacuation, but did leave multiple controllers with health issues severe enough to affect their medical certificates. Artemis II Headed for the Moon The Artemis II Mission flew four astronauts around the moon before returning them to Earth. The planned 10-day test flight is the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972 that humans have departed Earth orbit. NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT on April 1, 2026. The Artemis III mission will launch a crew in the Orion spacecraft atop the SLS rocket to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft (SpaceX and Blue Origin) needed to land astronauts on the Moon. NASA will announce specifics on the Artemis III mission design and crew closer to the 2027 launch. Artemis IV astronauts will travel to lunar orbit, where two crew members will descend to the surface and spend approximately a week near the Moon’s South Pole conducting new science before returning to lunar orbit to rejoin their crew for the journey back to Earth. Report Calls for Major Flight Training Changes The FAA has released a 471-page report by the National Flight Training Alliance (NFTA) titled A Comprehensive Modernization of Pilot Training Conducted by 14 CFR Part 141 Training Organizations, which states: “The goal of this modernization effort is unambiguous: to develop a robust certification and regulatory framework under 14 CFR Part 141 that stands alone as the preeminent accreditation and method by which aviators are trained throughout the world. Under this new framework, achieving FAA certification would represent the highest standard of training excellence available anywhere negating the need for further accreditation or external oversight. The American flight training system would, in this vision, stand alone already.“ The key recommendations include: Establishing a dedicated Central Management Office responsible for all Part 141 pilot school initial certification and ongoing certificate management. Establishing both Safety Management Systems and Quality Management Systems within the Part 141 training environment. Reforming how the FAA manages and oversees certificated pilot schools. Developing industry consensus standards as an alternate means of compliance with Part 141 regulations. Reforming the Part 141 examining authority framework. Expanding Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) and Technology Credit and Usage. Modernizing training course appendices. Replacing Provisional Pilot School with Registered Pilot School. A-10 Warthog Being Tested With Aerial Refueling Probe Bolted Onto Its Nose A test A-10 has been flown for the first time with a refueling probe replacing its normal aerial refueling receptacle. The A-10 successfully connected to the aerial refueling drogue of a C-130.  The Air Force uses a flying boom system, while the Navy uses a probe-and-drogue system. Mentioned The “Spacewoman” documentary about Eileen Collins, the first woman Shuttle pilot. Journey is the Reward / Airplane Geeks Meet-Up, Sunday, May 17, 2026, 4:00 PM at Charlie's Pizza, Restaurant and Pub (1980 Rt. 37, Manchester Township, NJ 08759). Visiting the Av-Con 2026 in Atlanta – Held April 4, 2026, at the Delta Flight Museum. Av-Con is described as “the world's first convention built for aviation fans by aviation creators.” Souls On Board Hosts this Episode Max Flight, our Main(e) Man Micah, and Rob Mark.

A successful career in engineering, and also in business as a VP at AVCON, INC, Rick Baldocchi has a great love and passion for mission work. This has resulted in a new outreach, a company he founded called Agua Viva Serves, which provides wells that bring clean water to many areas in Costa Rica. It was a mission trip to this region about 16 years ago that exposed such a great need for clean, safe water. Rick was compelled to do something, and he shares that story on this podcast.

Chantal and Jörg took their games to different game events last week: BitSummit in Kyoto and AVCon in Adelaide. While Jörg was in nerd heaven, Chantal met the dark side of nerddom. Naturally.

It's a Showdown! Amy and Sean are going head to head over to Richard Curtis's film Notting Hill, with Alex caught in the middle. Except Alex is too obstreperous to stay above the fray, and Amy and Sean keep agreeing on everything. We can't even argue properly. This week we're looking at character, motivation, embedded sexisms and other isms in Notting Hill (a film from the Dark Ages that we keep finding ourselves arguing over at the pub), and a whole range of random logic holes in films that bear no resemblance to Notting Hill at all. This is peak Word Docs, where there's madness in the method, and we regret everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Desde que empezó la crisis del Covid-19 muchos de nosotros que trabajamos en el sector AV estamos realmente preocupados pues es uno, sino EL sector que mas pronto ha caído y que más tarde se va a recuperar y muchas personas de este colectivo son autónomos, empezando por muchísimos técnicos que están en régimen autónomo y también muchos empresarios con empresas, algunas grandes y muchas pequeñas . Todos ellos se enfrentan a muchas dudas dada la ambigüedad de la información que se está recibiendo desde el gobierno. Durante este periodo, casi todos los días vemos en Televisión u oímos en radio a Lorenzo Amor, presidente de ATA, la Federación de asociaciones de trabajadores autónomos, el cual está en constante contacto con las diferentes fuerzas políticas, incluido el gobierno, presionando todos los días para que no se olviden de los autónomos. Por eso, desde Avify, se nos ocurrió la idea de llamarle a participar en una mesa redonda virtual con una representación de este colectivo formada por asociaciones de técnicos y empresas para que Don Lorenzo Amor oyera de viva voz las preocupaciones de todo el sector. Aunque no es una escucha fácil el episodio, si te dedicas a este mundo, seas o no autónomo, te aconsejo que continúes en este episodio especial, pues hay información relevante que te puede interesar ya que la conversación no solo fue sobre el autónomo sino que se abordaron otras diferentes preocupaciones más generales del sector. El resultado ha sido muy interesante, al principio éramos algo mas de 300 pero llegamos a mas de 400 personas registradas durante el desarrollo del evento y si bien es verdad que no todas pudieron quedarse todo el rato hubo un gran número que aguanto toda la jornada con muchas preguntas que nos tuvieron activos durante más de hora y media.

RECORDED LIVE AT AVCON 2018 - Australia's LARGEST anime and video game convention. Ben and Dan gush over the aweomeness of Octopath Traveller, interview some developers of some of the sweetest looking indie game titles to come out of Australia and talk about all that SDCC news that is coming out of the US.

Neil Kaplan is known voice actor portraying Optimus Prime from Transformers Robots in Disguise (2001) and King Zarkon from Netflix's Voltron Legendary Defender was at AV Con 2018 as one of the highlighted guests!

An impromptu interview with Spike Spencer known for the English voice of Shinji from Evangelion and many more tidbits about his well-storied career as a voice actor who is one of the featured guests at AV Con 2018.

Join Ben, Nat, and special guest Andrew, as they chat about what they are looking forward to at AVCON - cosplay, speedruns, tourneys, board games, panels, and the Indie Games Room. 

This week on Player Attack, we're chatting to all sorts of fascinating people. Want to know about retro video games? How to start collecting? Where to find the coolest stuff? Who to talk to about the best old-school treats? Retrospekt should be able to help you - we caught up with Marcus at AVCon and picked his brain about what the team's been up to recently (mad respekt!). Also at AVCon, Angelo found Jen Taylor wandering the halls - while she's an accomplished stage actor (who visited Australia years ago to rehearse a play, no less), most people would know this lady as the voice of Princess Peach, Toad, or maybe your favourite blue AI: Cortana! Bringing things back home again, the latest episode of Player A-Chat features Adelaide developer Philip Mayes. He draws back the curtain on the local industry, revealing that South Australia might not be the deadzone many people seem to believe it is! ...plus, of course, we have all the latest in gaming news - this is Player Attack! http://www.playerattack.com

This week on Player Attack, we're chatting with some locals. AVCon is Adelaide's Anime and Video Game Festival, and one of the absolute highlights each year is checking out the wide variety of titles that make up The Indie Games Room. It's a curated collection of independently-developed games from Australia and New Zealand, and it's been a part of AVCon since 2008. This year, we dropped in to chat with IGR coordinator Brad Barrett, and caught up with some of the local developers showing off their latest projects. Of course, there were more than 50 games on show this year and we were only able to highlight a handful - for a full list, head to theindiegamesroom.com ! Featured games: Bloodbeard's Revenge - https://www.facebook.com/bloodbeardsrevenge/ Think of the Children - http://www.thinkofthechildrengame.com/ Intergalactic Space Princess - http://www.spaceprincess.net/ Monadnock - https://monadnock.machinespirit.net/ ...plus, of course, we have all the latest in gaming news - this is Player Attack! http://www.playerattack.com

This week on Player Attack, we're off to AVCon to meet interesting people! AVCon is Adelaide's Anime and Video Games Festival, an annual gathering that brings the South Australian community together to celebrate what makes them happy. Each year, an assortment of guests are also invited, drawn from across the realms of pop culture - and it's difficult to tell who has more fun, the attendees or the VIPs! This year, we caught up with special AVCon guest Steve Downes - you might not recognise his face, but the moment he opens his voice, you'll know exactly who he is. A Los Angeles disc jockey for the better part of 40 years, he says his career suddenly skyrocketed (literally) when he was hand-picked for the role of Spartan John-117... that is, Master Chief, from the Halo series. We also spent some time with one of the other guests in town for AVCon - Chris Pope, known to his fans as the Space Pope. His childhood dream was to become a game developer at Sierra, working on games like Space Quest. Fast-forward a few years, and even though Sierra is long gone, the Space Pope has teamed up with two of the original developers to create Space Venture - a spiritual successor to the series. Did we mention he also held a world record for playing Pac-Man? This is a man of many talents! ...plus, of course, we have all the latest in gaming news - this is Player Attack! http://www.playerattack.com

Brad, Jake and Aido are joined by the the superstars from Sydney, the Hungry Gamers in a special recording from AVCon in the Adelaide Convention Centre. We talk about the crazy weekend that was AVCon, the best burgers in Adelaide, the best indie games in the country and PokemonGo, much to Brad's disgust. 

Just days before AVCon 2016 we get to talk to Brad Barrett, the organizer of the Indie Games Room. Last minute tips for first time devs, what attendees can expect, awesome panels and the must see games. Get it in your earholes! 

Jake and Brad chat to Carmine, the man behind indie game The Icebox, available to play at the Indie Games Room at AVCon for the first time. One of the most enjoyable interviews we've done to date, Carmine talks about his motivation for making the game, what he hopes to gain from the Indie Games Room and the strengths of the Adelaide games development industry.  

Jake and Brad chat to Adelaide developer Lindsay Hall about his upcoming VR racing game Formula C. You can get a hands on experience with Formula C at the Indie Games Room at AVCon in July and check out the game in more details at http://formulac.eulercode.com/  

The guys talk about their AVCon in the Mall experience, the awesome team behind Greg’s Eggventure, Jake’s Uncharted 4 review, the Overwatch love, Alien Isolation, a bit of tech, a bit of news, how many cheeseburgers Jake orders at a time and Brad hardly mentions Bethesda…much Check it out!

Brad and Aido got to chat with Kira and Ellie, some of the minds behind AVCon, Adelaide's Anime and Video Game Festival. We get their views on everything from Nathan Drake to why you should wear bloomers, the first AVCon in the Mall to the popularity of bus ads.   

So this week is another special episode, which focuses on the Adelaide AVcon (anime and video game convention). A few of the nerdier GFAF members discuss their time at the event and play some interviews they recorded with people attending the convention. This episode is a LOT nerdier than the usual GFAF episodes, but don't fret if you are not really into all things nerdy, this is just a special episode and the first experiment doing roving interviews.

Scudda is off 'living the life' somewhere on the East coast, but has sent in a mix of the newest club tunes, and Whitey brings it home with a mix dedicated to the fans of AVcon and video games...

From the 23rd to the 25th of July, Adelaide played host to AVCon, the Anime and Video Game Convention. Brad was there for the whole weekend and brings us this compilation of interviews from the various traders, indie game developers, Street Fighters and convention organisers. Thanks to everyone who contributed. You can see more of their work via the Level 3 forums.

This week, Brad is in Adelaide to cover AVCon 2010 in all its costumed glory. Back home, it's all about Singularity, Transformers: War For Cybertron, Deathspank, cross-fighters and off-mic shenanigans aplenty.
