Attorneys representing the FAA now say errors in the cost calculation are “sufficient” to review those calculations. The decision to revisit the issue is concurrent with a lawsuit brought against the FAA by UPS’ pilots union. And the FAA’s attorneys have made a request regarding that action.

A Chicago film maker will feature Polehinke in the movie “Sole Survivor,” which creates accounts of the lives of people who became sole survivors of commuter aircraft crashes. It will be released this fall. Polehinke was at the controls of Comair’s CRJ-100 as it sped into the grass off the end of the airport’s shorter, narrower Runway 26. It had been cleared for the twice as wide and twice as long Runway 22. Polehinke awoke from a coma after the crash to learn he had facial fractures, a complex fracture of the pelvis, two fractures of the spine, and broken bones in his left leg, right foot and right hand. The film may show that wasn’t the worst of it.

Johnson, known as “Mama Bird,” taught more than 5,000 students and gave more than 9,000 check rides for the FAA. She ran a small airport in Morristown, Tenn., until she was past 100. “Mrs. Johnson said she would retire when she was old enough, which she never was,” reads her New York Times obituary. “Each time she went up in a plane — her last flight was as a passenger in 2009 — she said she saw something new and beautiful.”

The changes increase the allowable weight for UAS operated by law enforcement agencies from 4.4 pounds to 25 pounds, and also establish a procedure for those agencies to obtain a waiver to fly UAS. The applicant will first get a waiver for training and performance evaluation, then “when the organization has shown proficiency in flying its UAS,” it will receive an operational waiver. The FAA said it has already streamlined its procedures for obtaining waivers and lengthened the duration of operational waivers from 12 months to 24 months.
