The week in aviation, plus one incident review. This week: why two airline captains with more than twenty-three thousand hours between them got surprised by a stall — and the one-word lesson every pilot should groove; Lycoming extends time-between-overhaul to 2,600 hours for a wide range of engines; Swift Fuels' unleaded 100R clears FAA approval for roughly 1,200 piston engine models and 1,600 aircraft; and more than fifty aviation groups ask Congress for another $20 billion to modernize air traffic control. Then a two-minute Regs Corner on 14 CFR § 91.103 (preflight action and performance planning) that sets up our incident review: an Aero Commander 112 that couldn't hold a climb about thirty seconds after takeoff near Fabens, Texas — a controlled forced landing, and a pilot who walked away.

Learning, not blame. The incident segment is drawn solely from the published NTSB preliminary report.
