A World Trade Organization panel ruled a state tax break Washington offered to Boeing is a “prohibited” subsidy. (AP)
A World Trade Organization panel ruled a state tax break Washington offered to Boeing is a “prohibited” subsidy.
The state extended the business tax reduction to Boeing in 2013 to ensure production of the 777x plane would stay local. The decision found the state promised to give Boeing the prohibited subsidies from 2024-2040.

Prohibited is the WTO’s strictest legal category, and indicates a subsidy that can’t be allowed to stand. If the ruling is upheld on appeal, action would be taken to remove the subsidy, the Associated Press reports.
The European Union says the subsidies would have amounted to $8.7 billion, according to the Associated Press. EU Trade Commissioner Cecila Malmstrom told the AP the panel ruled against $5.7 billion of the measures.
The European Union is claiming this as a victory in a

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian government forces captured more than a third of opposition-held eastern Aleppo on Monday, touching off a wave of panic and flight from the besieged enclave as rebel defenses in the country’s largest city rapidly collapsed.
The dramatic gains marked an inflection point in Syria’s nearly 6-year-old conflict, threatening to dislodge armed opponents of President Bashar Assad from their last major urban stronghold.
Reclaiming all of Aleppo, Syria’s former commercial capital, would be the biggest prize of the war for Assad. It would put his forces in control of the country’s four largest cities as well as the coastal region, and cap a year of steady government advances.

Dynon and Garmin cracked the code earlier this year on bringing non-TSO’d digital attitude indicators into production airplanes.
Paul Odum, a San Francisco IT executive and aircraft owner, has established The STC Group, LLC, to develop and own supplemental type certificates to install the Trio Pro Pilot in certified airplanes. “Trio’s Pro Pilot autopilot has a proven record of reliability in the amateur-built and warbird fleets. As such, the Trio Pro Pilot is an excellent off-the-shelf choice to retrofit into the legacy GA fleet based on its record of safety and reliability,” said Odum.
Trio was established in 2000 and has been delivering autopilots around the world for more than a dozen years with some 3,000 systems flying. The two-axis Pro Pilot model utilizes roll and auto-trim pitch servos to provide precise horizontal and vertical navigation capabilities. Altitude control includes climb and descent functions with altitude pre-select. Vertical navigation can be flown at pilot-selected speeds.
When connected to a WAAS-enabled GPS, Pro Pilot can fly the lateral and vertical portions of RNAV approaches and other procedures. The digital autopilot also provides flight envelope protection, nudging the flight controls away from an overspeed or stall situation. An “automatic 180-degree turn” feature can guide VFR pilots out of inadvertent weather encounters—a feature that has been credited with saving lives in EAB aircraft. Chuck Busch, Trio Avionics president and designer of the Pro Pilot, said, “As experimental aircraft builders, our primary design goal has always been safety of flight. We are especially proud that our Pro

The World Trade Organization on Monday struck a blow against Boeing Co., determining a key tax benefit granted for production of its newest long-haul jetliner contravenes international trade rules.
The tax was a central part of a case the European Union in December 2014 filed with the WTO against the U.S. as part of a wider protracted dispute…

PARIS (Reuters) – Airbus tentatively aims to deliver as many as 80 A350 jetliners in 2017, two people familiar with the plans said on Friday.
The target marks a new stage in ambitious plans to raise output of the company’s newest long-haul jet to 10 a month in 2018, but depends mainly on how successful suppliers will be in curbing delays in cabin equipment. An Airbus spokesman declined to comment on the provisional thinking on deliveries for 2017, which would equate to production of just under 7 aircraft a month. Airbus is expected to give details of its 2017 delivery plans in February. Speaking at an event to mark the first flight of the large A350-1000 variant on Thursday, Airbus planemaking chief Fabrice Bregier said he was more optimistic than before about reaching a target of at least 50 A350 deliveries in 2016. Airbus delivered the 35th airplane of the year on Thursday. At the same time, Airbus aims to swiftly increase deliveries of the smaller A320neo, which have been held back by delays in the supply of engines from U.S.-based Pratt Whitney . Programs chief Didier Evrard told Reuters on Thursday the supply chain had improved but remained under scrutiny. Also key to the ramp-up is the amount of outstanding work that needs to be done later in the assembly process than scheduled, a drag on time and costs that is often caused by missing or defective parts. Bregier said on Thursday the amount of A350-900Article source: http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/latestnews/2016/11/25/Airbus-hopes-deliver-80-A350-aircraft-2017-sources
