There’s a new airline in the Y-K Delta, and its name might sound a little familiar. Renfro Aviation has launched its very own Yute Commuter Services (YCS), which serves villages throughout the region. The new airline is not to be confused with Yute Air, the similarly named service that abruptly shut down earlier this year. "A lot of the same people are here," said Andrew Flagg, who worked for Yute Air when it folded last spring and is now Yute Commuter Services’ station manager. Flagg noted that YCS has even moved into the old Yute Air terminal in Bethel. YCS has scheduled service to tundra villages, upriver villages, Napaskiak, and Napakiak. Organizations can charter flights anywhere in rural Alaska; all of Renfro Aviation’s charter services to the villages have now been taken over by YCS. Renfro will continue to operate off-airport aircraft and specialty flights, like surveys for fish and game. To make a reservation or schedule a charter with YCS call 907-543-2684 or 907-543-2685.
Quad-City travelers headed for the warmth of southern and western Florida will have nonstop service again to Punta Gorda and access to the flights through the summer months, Quad-City International Airport officials said Monday. After an 19-month hiatus, on Friday Allegiant will resume the direct, twice weekly service between Moline and Punta Gorda. Allegiant recently extended the seasonal service into August 2018. It marks the third schedule extension since Allegiant first announced plans in May to resume the service. The flights serve travelers bound to Punta Gorda as well as the Cape Coral, Port Charlotte, Ft. Myers, Sanibel Island and Naples areas. "Our Quad-Cities passengers have really embraced this route, and we're excited to add more opportunities to visit this beautiful area," said Lukas Johnson, Allegiant's senior vice president of commercial. Cathie Rochau, the airport's marketing director, said the extended schedule is welcomed news to travelers who have found other flight alternatives since the flight ended in April 2016. She said many have sought service from other regional airports, including Cedar Rapids and Peoria. "People who live there like to come back and forth," she said, adding, "Those folks who do go back frequently are looking for the best fare, it's just that kind of traveler." Resuming the service also will aid the airport's passenger retention efforts, Rochau added. "I'm very pleased to see this extension in our schedule between the Quad-Cities and the Fort Myers area," said Bruce Carter, the airport's aviation director. "I know our regional area travelers will be happy to hear this news as well, as they do ask about the flights outside of the seasonal time frame." According to Rochau, the service is re-starting with strong passenger numbers as Allegiant also brings in new larger, 186-seat jets to provide the service. As of Monday, she said four of the first five flights are booked with about 140 passengers, and more passengers are booked for the Christmas Day flight. Allegiant services five nonstop cities via the Quad-Cities, including Las Vegas and Phoenix-Mesa and two other Florida destinations, Orlando-Sanford and St. Petersburg/Clearwater.

Melbourne, Arkansas – Brandon Muse of Mountain View, AR has completed his first solo flight at the Melbourne Municipal Airport on November 14. Muse makes the thirteenth Ozarka College student to complete the solo flight. He is currently working towards earning an Associate of Science degree in Aviation – Professional Pilot. Prior to taking a solo flight, students are required to receive and log flight training for maneuvers and procedures ranging from proper flight preparation procedures to emergency procedures and equipment malfunctions. Additionally, they have to pass an aeronautical knowledge test. Upon completing solo flights, students begin flying to larger airports with an instructor. Just prior to certification, students will fly solo to the Branson Airport. For more information about flight training or the aviation program, please visit fly.ozarka.edu or call John Catlett, Aviation Director and Flight Instructor at Ozarka College, at 870-368-7926.

He added that the biplane settled back onto the runway and that he continued to maintain the runway centerline. Subsequently, when he raised the tail for takeoff, the biplane veered sharply to the right, and the lower left wing struck the ground. The biplane sustained substantial damage to the lower left aileron. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the biplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot added that he may have "accidently hit the right brake" during the landing roll. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a touch-and-go landing. Findings Aircraft Directional control - Not attained/maintained (Cause) Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot (Cause) Factual Information History of Flight Landing Abnormal runway contact Takeoff Loss of control on ground (Defining event)

The commercial pilot and three passengers were not injured. The airplane was registered to Quick Gas Aviation LLC and was operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Day, visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed. The flight originated at P K Airpark (5W4), Raeford, North Carolina about 1300, and was destined for TVI. The pilot reported that the enroute portion of the flight was uneventful. While lowering the landing gear for the approach at TVI, the left main gear did not indicate down and locked. The pilot cycled the landing gear three times, and then utilized the manual landing gear extension procedure, with no changes. Aerial observation of the landing gear by airport personnel indicated that all three-landing gear appeared to be down. The pilot continued the approach for a landing on runway 4. After touchdown, the left main gear collapsed. The airplane turned 90ยบ to the left and came to a stop in the grass, adjacent to the runway. The airplane was examined by an airframe and powerplant mechanic with inspection authorization. Structural damage to the left wing was confirmed. The left main landing gear was found partially retracted in the gear well. The other gear were extended and locked. The airplane was raised with a backhoe and the left main gear was manually pulled down. The down lock hooks would not engage and the drag links would not allow full extension. The mechanic then ran his finger through the drag link mating surfaces and a small stone, with grease on it, came out and fell into the grass. He was unable to find the object in the grass. The landing gear then extended and locked in a normal manner. After manually troubleshooting the landing gear, hydraulic power was applied and the gear extended normally with three green indications. The airplane was then moved to a hangar where an additional examination was performed by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector who noted no anomalies.

The pilot and two passengers were not injured. The airplane received substantial damage to fuselage longerons and the aft flange of the main wing spar carry through. The aircraft was registered to Luftladder Inc. and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions existed at the time of the accident. A visual flight rules flight plan had been filed. The flight originated from the Wellsville Municipal Airport (ELZ), near Wellsville, New York, about 1630, with JVY as the intended destination. The pilot reported that when the airplane was about 5 miles from JVY, he lowered the landing gear and the right main landing gear was slow to extend, but within a few seconds all three gear down indicator lights illuminated. A normal descent was made and when the airplane was over the runway about to flare, the right main landing gear light went out. The pilot initiated a go-around, increasing engine power, pitching for climb, and retracting the landing gear and flaps. He stated that the airplane may have settled after the flaps were retracted and he heard a noise as if a propeller blade had contacted something. He decided to discontinue the go-around and landed the airplane straight ahead, coming to a stop on the runway with the landing gear retracted. After the accident the airplane landing gear was tested under the supervision of Federal Aviation Administration inspectors. Before the test, an o-ring was replaced on the hydraulic reservoir, but this would not have prevented the right main landing gear from extending. The gear retraction tests were performed satisfactorily, with no defects in the landing gear operation noted.
