vertigo writes "A Piedmont Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-100 on
behalf of US Airways, registration N934HA performing flight US-4560 from
Philadelphia,PA to Newark,NJ (USA) with 31 people and 3 crew, was on
approach to Newark when the crew reported they had a left hand main gear
unsafe indication and requested a low approach to have the gear
inspected from the ground. The aircraft was cleared for a low approach
to runway 04L, offset left of the runway, tower asked the landing lights
to be turned off to get a better sight of the aircraft. Tower
subsequently reported the left hand main gear appeared only half way out
of the wheel well. The aircraft climbed back to 3000 feet and entered a
holding west of the aerodrome for about 90 minutes to work the
checklists and burn off fuel. The aircraft positioned for an approach to
runway 04L and landed with all gear up. The aircraft slid on its belly
to a safe stop on the runway, the occupants evacuated through the left
hand main door. No injuries occurred.
The airport was closed temporarily following the landing.
US
Airways reported the aircraft landed with its landing gear retracted
after a gear indication could not be resolved following multiple
attempts to lower the gear. The aircraft landed safely on its belly, no
injuries occurred. The passengers were evacuated and bussed to the
terminal.

The Federal Communications Commission moved to establish a multi-gigabit in-flight Internet service using newly–available airwaves in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band on Thursday. The proposal, based largely on a petition from Qualcomm first made in 2011, would involve the creation of 150 ground stations which would beam Internet signals up to aircraft.
In its petition, Qualcomm cited the explosion in mobile broadband usage, noting that the use of mobile is “now an integral part of many Americans’ lives “The reality is that we expect and often need to be able to get online 24/7, at home, in an office or on a plane,” said Julius Genachowski, the FCC chairman, at a meeting Thursday. “This will enable business and leisure travelers aboard aircraft in the United States to be more productive and have more choices in entertainment, communications and social media, and it could lower prices.”The new service would provide connectivity to aircraft flying within the contiguous United States and would not work over Alaska, Hawaii, or island territories
