WASHINGTON - The National Transportation Safety Board plans two hearings in April to explore whether lithium-ion batteries are safe on jetliners, while investigators continue to search for the cause of a battery fire in a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The board will have the first forum in mid-April to discuss battery technology with transportation safety experts. The investigative hearing later in the month will focus on the design and certification of the Dreamliner's battery system. Deborah Hersman, chairman of the NTSB, says the meetings will help the transportation community understand the risks and benefits of the batteries - an issue that's arisen since troubles broke out in January in the batteries aboard two Dreamliners. The sophisticated new 787 jetliners have been grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration and other nations since then, while its investigators, Boeing engineers and NTSB investigators and safety investigators in Japan have sought to find the cause and solution to the troubles. Thursday's announcement of the forums came the same day that the NTSB released an interim report that detailed how the fire occurred and how investigators have taken apart and tested the failed battery. But within 499 pages of documents released, the board drew no conclusions about what caused the fire and hasn't made any recommendations yet. "The NTSB is also continuing to review the design, certification and manufacturing processes for the 787 lithium-ion battery system," the report said. Marc Birtel, a Boeing spokesman, called the interim report a positive step toward completing the investigation. "The Boeing team has worked tirelessly in support of the NTSB to help develop an understanding of the event and continue to do so," Birtel said. In 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration set nine conditions on the batteries that are vulnerable to overheating before the 787 was certified. But the battery fire in a Japan Airlines plane parked in Boston occurred after only 52,000 flight hours for the innovative plane, despite Boeing projecting a battery would overheat only once every 10 million flight hours. The FAA - followed by safety regulators around the world - grounded the fleet of planes Jan. 16, the same day an All Nippon Airways flight made an emergency landing in Japan because of a smoldering battery. Boeing officials proposed changes to house the two batteries on each plane in fireproof shells, and separate the eight cells in each battery with ceramics, to prevent overheating. The goal is to get planes back in the air in experimental flights within weeks. But no decision has been made on the proposals yet. And FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, who is reviewing it, said last week he has no timetable for approving flights. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has also said he wants to be "1,000% sure" the plane is safe before returning it to the sky. Huerta said he expected a report from technical experts this week evaluating the proposal. Even if the plan is approved, Huerta said on Feb. 27, there would be "a great deal of testing, a great deal of further analysis and reengineering before these planes are back in the air." http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2013/03/07/ntsb-dreamliner/1970549/ Back to Top Pilot found guilty of carelessly operating aircraft (New Zealand) The Auckland-based Pacific Blue pilot accused of carelessly operating an aircraft flying from Queenstown to Sydney in June 2010 has been found guilty by Judge Kevin Phillips. The written decision comes after a prolonged defended hearing in the Queenstown District Court, which was held over two weeks each in March and July last year, with the final day of the hearing last September. In his written decision, released today, Judge Phillips said he was satisfied "no reasonable or prudent pilot" faced with the conditions the pilot - who has interim name suppression - encountered, would have commenced a "take off roll". Taking into account the Evening Civil Twilight requirement, poor light, cloud cover below the minima and cross wind levels, including gusts, Judge Phillips found the pilot did not exercise the degree of care and attention a reasonable and prudent pilot would have exercised on June 22, 2010. "I am satisfied that the defendant... was careless in his manner of operating the aircraft. "The defendant ignored the mandatory requirements and, in their place, used his planned self designed contingency. "I have found against him on that issue. "I consider the findings of fact that I have made establish clear fault on the part of the defendant. "Indeed, on my findings, the defendant's fault is self evident in each and every particular." A sentencing date is yet to be confirmed. The New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association (NZALPA) issued a statement saying it was disappointed with the verdict. "The three year judicial process has been very difficult for the pilot and the family. NZALPA does not wish to make any further comment as this may prejudice the pilot's ability to launch an appeal." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10870056 Back to Top NC jet aborts takeoff for possible bird strike CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A Delta passenger jet headed to Detroit aborted a takeoff at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport because of a possible bird strike. Delta officials say the jet was taking off shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday when the crew of the Airbus A320 reported the possible hit. Several Charlotte Fire Department trucks were called to the scene, but there was no sign of fire or other major problems with the aircraft. The jet remained on a ramp next to a runway for about 30 minutes while the brakes cooled before it was towed back to the concourse. Delta said the 130 passengers were put on another flight to Detroit. Back to Top FAA sequestration cuts not safe or sensible Association urges better cooperation with aviation industry AOPA President Craig Fuller on March 6 leveled sharp criticism at the sequestration cuts planned by the Obama administration and the FAA, suggesting that the decision to close control towers and scale back aviation services constitutes a risk to aviation safety. "The White House budget office has forced troubling, and possibly dangerous, cuts on the FAA," Fuller said. "It doesn't have to be that way. Rational savings can be found, and we are ready to work with the FAA and the Department of Transportation to build workable solutions. But closing more than 200 air traffic control towers, derailing certification, and allowing our navigational aid system to deteriorate just doesn't make sense. "These are vital FAA commitments and abandoning them is unsafe, unwise, and unacceptable to AOPA members." During an appearance at the Helicopter Association International's Heli-Expo 2013 in Las Vegas, Fuller urged the FAA to step back from its planned cuts and work with aviation industry groups on alternative spending reductions that would have little impact on air safety and the operations of general aviation. "I fear that administration officials are driving a process that will have dire consequences for air safety and general aviation," Fuller said. "General aviation is under assault from people who either don't understand the dangerous consequences of their actions, or worse, simply do not care. "We are calling on the Obama administration to grant FAA the necessary flexibility to find more rational savings." Fuller spoke March 6 at a town hall meeting featuring the CEOs of the general aviation alphabet groups-Fuller, Matt Zuccaro of Helicopter Association International, Pete Bunce of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Henry Ogrodzinski of the National Association of State Aviation Officials, Tom Hendricks of the National Air Transportation Association, and Ed Bolen of the National Business Aviation Association. Other association heads shared his concern that the Obama administration is waging an "assault on general aviation&rdquo with policies that harm pilots, aircraft owners, and the manufacturing industry. The administration's advancement of proposals such as a $100 per flight user fee for turbine aircraft are part of a bigger issue related to the administration's treatment of general aviation, Fuller said. Zuccaro cited the administration's effort to stop accelerated depreciation schedules for aircraft-which Bolen said stimulates jobs and growth-as further evidence. "Promote the industry, don't disparage it," Bolen urged. On March 1 the administration and Congress failed to halt legislation that imposes automatic, across-the-board federal spending cuts of $85 billion. The FAA told aviation industry representatives that its share of cuts would total $600 million-the largest portion of the cuts sustained by the Department of Transportation. To reach those savings, FAA officials have decided to close nearly 200 control towers at airports around the country, reduce repairs to most of the nation's navigational aids, and give most of the FAA's 47,000 employees a one-day-per pay period furlough. The FAA's plan has caused confusion in a number of communities with airports that rely on control towers. The FAA has identified 77 essential operating areas. But general aviation aircraft-everything from two-seat, single-engine piston airplanes to helicopters to business jets-often operate at smaller airports that are closer to destinations and business sites outside of major metropolitan areas. Those communities could experience a drastic reduction in aviation services, revenue, and jobs if the cuts go forward in April as planned. Fuller said that AOPA already has recommended a number of streamlining initiatives and spending cuts that the FAA could adopt without any impact on the strong record of general aviation air safety. These suggestions include expanding the use of the driver's license medical by adopting the AOPA-EAA medical proposal. Fuller, as head of the world's largest civil aviation organization, suggested the FAA revisit its planned cuts and work with AOPA and other aviation groups to find better ways to achieve them. "Voters did not ask for fewer towers!" Fuller said, referring to the November presidential election. "They did not ask for fewer controllers! They will not tolerate safety reductions! And neither will we." http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/articles/2013/130306faa-sequestration-cuts-not-safe-or- sensible.html?CMP=ADV:1 Back to Top FBI seeks public's help in finding operator of unmanned aircraft near JFK The FBI is asking for the public's assistance in helping to find the operator of unmanned aircraft spotted Monday near Kennedy Airport. A pilot of an Alitalia flight was on the final approach to Runway 31R at about 1:15 p.m. when he spotted the unmanned or remote-controlled aircraft hovering at about 1,750 feet, and about 200 feet from the plane, according to the FBI. "The FBI is asking anyone with information about the unmanned aircraft or the operator to contact us," said Special Agent in Charge John Giacalone. "Our paramount concern is the safety of aircraft passengers and crew." The pilot reported seeing the aircraft about four to five miles southeast of the airport, which would put it roughly in the area of Atlantic Beach in Nassau County, the FAA said. In an air traffic control recording provided by LiveATC.net, the pilot is heard telling the controller, "We saw a drone, a drone aircraft." The pilot continued on his path and landed safely. No other pilots reported seeing the aircraft. It's still not clear if the object was a drone, though a drone could pose a threat despite its small size. "Even the smallest drone is a substantial weight, and it could easily do damage like ripping off a part of a wing or impacting a cockpit area," said Dan Rose, an aviation expert and attorney specializing in aviation litigation. Drones are growing in popularity with government agencies and the public. The FAA is preparing a plan to regulate their widespread commercial use by 2015, though Rose wants to see more safety measures along with the increased use. "All the indications so far is that we're seeing a lot more close calls and near-misses, and not more on the technology of how to avoid these near-misses," said Rose. http://www.nbcnews.com/travel/fbi-seeks-publics-help-finding-operator-unmanned- aircraft-near-jfk-1C8704354 Back to Top Heli-Expo 2013: Flight Safety Foundation targets laser pointers Flight Safety Foundation is warning about the increase use of ground-based laser pointers endangering aircraft. The warning came at the Heli-Expo exhibition in Las Vegas where the foundation's president and CEO, Kevin Hiatt, said the main thrust of the foundation is 'to promote aviation safety; be an advocate; identify best practices; and collaborate and share that information with our membership and all those around the world'. From its formation in 1947, Flight Safety Foundation has pursued the continuous improvement of global aviation safety. As an independent, impartial and non-profit international membership organisation, the foundation is uniquely positioned to identify global safety issues, set priorities and serve as a catalyst to address the issues. 'If you take a look right now at where many of the hot button issues are, you've got: South America; Africa; India; and the Oceania region, which includes areas like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea,' he added. 'That's where the accident rates are the highest right now. So we're starting to concentrate on those particular areas to help increase the awareness, decrease the risk, and move forward.' One of the 'hot button issues' being addressed by the foundation involves the dangerous and increasingly frequent of aircraft by ground-based laser pointers. Describing laser pointers as a 'festering concern' that has been in discussion for the last few years, Hiatt described a target audience obtaining 'a device that has some decent pointing power, so to speak, and they wonder what happens if they do [fire the laser at an aircraft]'. Relating his own experiences being lazed as a commercial airline pilot, he said: 'There has to be some better regulatory guidelines around the type of laser that might be available to the general consumer's purchase. 'I'm not against lasers being used in things like architecture and construction where they've got much better range and power because of what they are doing. In the right hands they are a great tool. But just to be able to go out and purchase something off the shelf to have a great time - we're not in favour of that at all.' Quick to credit 'the fantastic job' performed by HAI's flight safety team, Hiatt explained that Flight Safety Foundation membership currently includes more than 1,000 individuals and organisations around the world. '[They] share a vested interest in making sure that there is an independent and international party that can be somewhat the voice of safety and cut through some of the politics and governance out there where a single entity might not be able to navigate,' Hiatt said. Hiatt said that the foundation hosts two major annual safety seminars: the Aviation Safety Summit and the Business Aviation Safety Summit. In addition, they are now producing smaller Regional Safety Seminars - either free or sponsored by a particular entity - 'placed in areas of the world that actually need more training, more information on risk, and safety.' http://www.shephardmedia.com/news/rotorhub/heli-expo-2013-flight-safety-foundation- targets-la/ Back to Top IATA CEO says Russia's flight safety below global average A flight accident occurs once in nearly 275,000 flights in Russia and CIS countries while the global average is one per 500,000 flights, Vedomosti business daily reported on Thursday, citing International Air Transport Association (IATA) CEO Tony Tyler. A flight accident occurs once in nearly 275,000 flights in Russia and CIS countries while the global average is one per 500,000 flights, Vedomosti business daily reported on Thursday, citing International Air Transport Association (IATA) CEO Tony Tyler. Tyler said that the largest Russian airlines Aeroflot, Yakutia Airlines, Nordavia, Siberia, Urals Airlines, Transaero, UTAir and VIM-Avia underwent an audit under IATA's IOSA standards and saw no serious incidents in 2012, but there is no uniformity of standards across the country's air transportation industry. "A Russian passenger barely wants to think on which airline's plane he or she is boarding, all air carriers must equally guarantee safety," he said. Tyler said that African Union countries introduced compulsory certification of their airlines under IOSA standards which would be a good example to copy for Russia. According to the IATA official, Russian airlines lack investments and trained pilots. Permission for foreign pilots to operate on Russian companies' aircraft is just a temporary tool to cover the deficit. He also said that local airports must upgrade their equipment because old equipment is potentially dangerous. http://www.aviationpros.com/news/10890489/iata-ceo-says-russias-flight-safety-below- global-average Back to Top FAA: Boeing should inspect for cracks on 747s WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing additional inspections for Boeing's 747s because of the risk that cracks around a rear door could cause the planes to depressurize in flight. Boeing agrees with the proposal, which the company already had recommended to airlines and which FAA is publishing Wednesday in the Federal Register. The proposal calls for additional inspections every 3,000 flights on various models totaling about 150 planes. Each round of extra inspection is projected to cost $1.5 million. "This (proposal) was prompted by multiple reports of cracking outside of the previous inspection areas," the FAA's 17-page announcement says. "We are issuing this (proposal) to detect and correct such cracks, which could cause damage to the adjacent body structure and could result in a rapid depressurization of the airplane." No such incidents were cited in the proposal called an air worthiness directive. The proposal affects 747 models 100, 100B, 100B SUD, 200B, 200C, 200F 300, 400, 400D, 400F and SR. The added inspections are aimed at finding and fixing cracks in supports for the fuselage around main door five in the rear of the plane. Kate Bergman, a Boeing spokeswoman, says the company continuously monitors inspection reports to ensure the highest level of safety for the world's jetliners. She said the FAA proposal would mandate what Boeing already recommended to airlines. "Boeing's recommendations are not binding on operators," Bergman says. "Only a regulator agency has the authority to require them. That is what the FAA's proposed rule would do." In January. the FAA ordered more inspections of 737s because sections of the roof came off two planes in flight, which depressurized the cabins and forced emergency landings. But those two incidents involved different joints rupturing, and the company says they are unrelated to the 747 problem. "This in no way resembles the crown skin cracking experienced by some 737s," Bergman says. http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2013/03/06/747-inspections/1965813/ Back to Top Back to Top CANSO mulls global safety audit The Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) is mulling introducing a future safety certificate, as part of an evaluation and audit scheme for air navigation service providers. The safety audit is one of a series of actions prompted by proposals made by leaders of the air transport industry at the recent World ATM Congress. At the event, UN aviation agency ICAO and CANSO agreed to work together much more closely on air navigation safety principally through improved information sharing and to build on joint work over recent years, notably in the area of runway safety. As part of the agreement, an aviation safety intelligence model - a shared safety databank that brings together all aviation stakeholders in the collection, analysis and sharing of safety information - will now be developed and help target resources based on need and safety risk assessment. Speaking at the World ATM Congress, Roberto Kobeh González, president of the Council of ICAO spoke of his desire that CANSO goes further and establishes a safety evaluation audit programme similar to the IATA Operational Safety Audit and a similar programme developed by the Airports Council International. At the time Poole told reporters that the idea of such a programme for the ATC community had been considered although some CANSO members had expressed concern that it would simply add yet another layer of safety evaluation and monitoring. "One of the incredibly frustrating things about CANSO is that there is already an incredible amount of great work being done through its committees that don't have the profile," said Poole. "If you think about safety, you think about the IATA's IOSA and ACI's APEX scheme and you'll think, what about CANSO? The reality is that we have been doing a hell of a lot of work in the safety area." While the CANSO chief defended the existing safety programme which is aligned with ICAO standards and recommended practices, the organisation is now committing itself to take action in three broad areas: safety, operations and policy and to work with ICAO, states, regulators and industry partners to achieve them. CANSO director general Jeff Poole, said safety would remain the industry's number one priority. "Many of CANSO's initiatives will lead to further improved safety to match expected traffic growth," he said. "These include working with ICAO to create a framework for enhanced air navigation safety dialogue, cooperation and information exchange; considering the possible establishment of a CANSO safety certificate, which would include an evaluation and audit programme for air navigation service providers; and developing safety guidance to address the shared risks between controllers and pilots." Jeff Poole added that transformation of the industry would take time but that CANSO would report on progress at World ATM Congress 2014. http://www.airtrafficmanagement.net/2013/03/canso-agrees-global-atm-action/ Back to Top Senator Claire McCaskill drafting bill to allow in-flight electronics during takeoff and landing Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is making good on threats to force the Federal Aviation Administration's hand on in-flight electronics use. After asking the FAA in December to speed up its reevaluation of whether things like laptops or e-readers were safe to use during takeoff and landing, McCaskill has now announced that she is working on a bill to loosen the rules. "Given my concerns with the agency's lack of commitment to adopt changes to the current PED [personal electronic device] rules, I am beginning to draft legislation," she says in a public letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "In the coming weeks, I will be calling in various stakeholders to receive input on the issue, and I will be working with my colleagues to build bipartisan support for action in Congress." "Devices that are allowed above 10,000 feet should be allowed for use during all phases of flight." We've reached out for more details on the proposed legislation, but McCaskill's letter suggests that it will focus on expanding the times during which it's safe to use devices. "I am not currently advocating for the use of cell phones for voice communications during flight," she writes. "Simply put, electronic devices that are currently allowed above 10,000 feet should be allowed for use during all phases of flight." This tallies with what FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has suggested, and the FAA itself promised a year ago to take a "fresh look" at whether a rule change would be safe. Cellphone use during flights isn't up for discussion, but the FAA faces mounting pressure to allow other electronic devices, and McCaskill has essentially accused it of dragging its feet on implementing "commonsense changes." Given her references to the "coming weeks," the bill doesn't seem to be imminent, but neither does any action from the FAA. http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/7/4075904/senator-claire-mccaskill-drafting-in-flight- electronics-bill Back to Top FAA Seeks Advice On Engine Bird Ingestion Protection The FAA will ask its Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) to look at engine bird ingestion requirements , a task it will describe in detail by mid-March in the Federal Register , Aviation Week has learned. Separately, the FAA also will ask ARAC to examine issues related to transport aircraft performance and handling characteristics. At an ARAC meeting March 5 in Washington, the panel also reported that a working group is nearing completion on proposals for rudder reversal training, but is still evaluating proposed rule changes for rudder-related aircraft structure and systems. Excessive use of the rudder , beyond its design capabilities, has been identified as a contributing factor in several incidents and accidents, the FAA said in assigning the project to the ARAC in March 2011. The working group 's "Phase 2" work on the task , which will consider whether retrofits should be required for existing aircraft , will start this month, and the group 's report to the committee could be ready in six to nine months, ARAC says. http://www.aviationweek.com Back to Top Enders Sees New Aircraft Certification Issues After 787 crisis NEW YORK - EADS CEO Tom Enders believes certification of new aircraft programs likely will become more difficult following the recent troubles surrounding the Boeing 787 program. "Certification authorities are probably a bit nervous now, [and] the 787 will not [make] certification any easier," Enders told reporters in New York. Enders was in New York for a roadshow with analysts following last week's announcement of EADS results for 2012. He says that because of the positive results achieved last year, those meetings have been "rather easy." EADS subsidiary Airbus recently decided to switch from lithium-ion batteries to more proven nickel-cadmium units for the Airbus A350 . Enders says he is "quite happy that we are two years behind the 787" in the development of the next Airbus long-haul aircraft because Airbus can learn from Boeing 's experience in some regards, including the batteries . Enders points out that "the industry needs to be careful to get the risk/reward balance right" when launching new programs. He concedes that Airbus, too, "got carried away with too much innovation that was not mature." When still Airbus CEO, Enders was the driving force behind the decision not to develop a new Airbus narrowbody, but rather re-engine the A320 family. According to Enders, the A350 likely will fly for the first time "in July or August." When asked whether an appearance at the June Paris Air Show is possible, he stated that "sometimes miracles happen." Industry sources have said that Airbus internally is targeting a mid-May date for first flight, although the company has not confirmed this information. Enders also says that "there is no decision to stop the A350-800 ," the smallest member of the aircraft family. The backlog of orders for the aircraft essentially is half of its former size and could be reduced further if the merged American/ US Airways decides to drop an earlier US Airways order for 18 units of the type. Airbus currently has firm orders for 92 A350-800s . Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker signaled earlier this year that Airbus might drop the type. Qatar is launch customer for the model and has 43 A350-900s and 37 -1000s on firm order . EADS is open to the idea of adding another engine type on the A350 . "We never made [it] a secret that we are looking for a second engine for the A350 . Having an engine choice is preferable for the customers, but it is not always possible. Having just one engine did not hamper A350 sales." Enders says he is pleased with the progress made in the A320NEO development . On the engine side, " Pratt & Whitney had a big risk reduction program . It's called the [ Bombardier ] CSeries." He does not believe that the new Bombardier narrowbody will "affect our sales very much." Going for the NEO "was a decision to keep in check all the new competitors, including Bombardier, for the next 15 years. We can sleep better now." Another part of Enders' U.S. visit is to promote the new corporate governance of EADS , which will be fully implemented following the March 27 extraordinary shareholder meeting . The changes will significantly reduce the special rights previously allocated to members of the so-called shareholder pact. Enders expects private shareholders Daimler and Lagardere quickly to sell their EADS stakes following the implementation since they had indicated their intention to sell for many years. Even though the share of government-controlled stakes rises to nearly 30% with Germany entering for the first time, Enders says EADS gets "indications that this is seen as a significant improvement" by the U.S. government and could pave the way for future business opportunities in the U.S. defense market. http://www.aviationweek.com Back to Top TWITTER For late breaking aviation news, follow us on Twitter @ curtllewis01 Back to Top Back to Top Quick Links Products Services Training Contact us...
