Sincerely, The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award Board www.ltbaward.org Back to Top EU Aviation Safety Agency Task Force To Study Germanwings Plane Crash Report Following the publication of an interim report by French air accident investigators on the Germanwings plane crash, Commissioner Violeta Bulc asked the European Aviation Safety Agency to set up a task force to look into the findings set out in the report. The areas of review include the cockpit door locking system and cockpit access and exit procedures, as well as the criteria and procedures applied to the medical monitoring of pilots. The first meeting will already take place Thursday, the European Commission said in a press release. The task force will gather senior safety and medical staff from the industry and from the regulators. It will use the results from the preliminary investigation report, and gather evidence, including from hearing experts. It will also look at further results coming out of the on-going safety investigation. The work of the task force will run in parallel to the independent safety investigation led by the French Civil Aviation Safety Investigation Authority. The French air accident investigation agency, the BEA, released its report on Wednesday, based on analysis of the aircraft's black box. The co-pilot of the crashed Germanwings plane appears to have rehearsed a rapid descent on a previous flight before the March 24 incident, according to the report. The co-pilot, First Officer Andreas Lubitz, intentionally forced the Duesseldorf-bound Airbus into a rapid descent, which eventually led to a crash in the French Alps, killing all 150 people aboard. Initial inquiry had pointed to the possibility that the German co-pilot manipulated the flight monitoring system to accelerate the descent of the flight. http://www.rttnews.com/2495161/eu-aviation-safety-agency-task-force-to-study-germanwings-plane-crash- report.aspx?type=pn Back to Top SOUTHWEST AIRLINES PLANE MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING AT HOBBY AIRPORT A plane made an emergency landing at Hobby Airport today HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A Southwest Airlines plane headed to New Orleans with 127 people aboard declared an emergency this afternoon, but landed safely at Hobby Airport. A Southwest representative says a cockpit indicator light associated with the number 1 engine on Flight 4820 came on and the pilot decided to turn back and declare an emergency. The plane managed to land without incident and taxi down the runway, followed by airport fire vehicles. Southwest says the plane involved in this landing has been taken out of service for a maintenance review. The passengers going to New Orleans were moved onto another flight and are expected to be a couple hours late. http://abc13.com/news/video-southwest-airlines-plane-makes-emergency-landing-at-hobby-airport/700784/ Back to Top Indian Safety Regulators Respond to EASA, ICAO Scrutiny Since the U.S. restored India's Category 1 status, Jet Airways and Indian Airlines can add service to the country and code share with U.S. airlines. (Photo: Flickr: Creative Commons (BY-SA) by Kurush Pawar - DXB) Even as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restored India's safety oversight to Category 1 in March following a 14-month downgrade to Cat-2 under its International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) program, Indian authorities will make presentations this month on their country's safety status to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). As India looks to expand its economic footprint with fiscal engagement in the Asian region, air connectivity gains added importance, making it imperative to ensure and project a satisfactory air safety record. "Every country is concerned about safety and it cannot be compromised," Indian minister of civil aviation Ashok Gajapathi Raju told AIN. "ICAO sets the standards and we were downgraded by the FAA...Now we're back with many issues addressed." India's Category 2 status signaled that its civil aviation safety oversight regime did not comply with international safety standards set by ICAO. Though India's two airlines serving the U.S.-Jet Airways and Air India-could continue existing flights there, their Category 2 status meant they could not establish new service to the country nor code share with U.S. carriers. The downgrade prompted international safety authorities to voice concerns. Following the downgrade last year, India sent a team to Brussels to EASA, the head of the Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), M. Sathiyavathy, told AIN. "[EASA has] asked us to explain how we will be able to sustain our position as Category 1 in the days to come," she added. While the FAA focused on safety elements such as airline operations, flight training organizations and India's legal system, a comprehensive audit due from ICAO this coming November "will cover the entire gamut of civil aviation including airports, navigation, air traffic control along with FAA issues," said Sathiyavathy. She stressed that India could sustain its position only "if we have the cooperation of all aviation-related stakeholders, and that can happen only if all of us feel safety is important. "We have put systems in place including re-certification based on CAP3100, the new ICAO-recommended certification manual for airlines to ensure safety of passengers and student pilots is not compromised," she added. One of the main observations in the FAA audit involved the lack of flight operations inspectors (FOI), Sathiyavathy said. The FAA had objected to the DGCA deputizing FOIs from airlines rather than using those on its own rolls. Of the 75 FOIs required, the DGCA has managed to fill posts for 50. "We are trying to work as soon as we can on more hirings as this was one of the main issues of the FAA," said Raju. "If conflicting interest comes in, it is not correct." http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2015-05-05/indian-safety-regulators-respond-easa-icao-scrutiny Back to Top Two Hurt in Helicopter Crash in Denton County Engine trouble preceded a helicopter crash Wednesday afternoon involving an instructor and a student pilot, according to Denton police. The crash, reported at about 2:15 p.m., happened in a thicket of trees on a large piece of private property just west of Interstate 35W, along Robson Ranch Road in Denton. The aircraft, a 1984 F28F Enstrom helicopter, owned and operated by Longhorn Helicopters - based in Denton - sustained significant damage when it crashed to the ground. The flight instructor was treated for a broken arm, according to Denton Police Officer Orlando Hinojosa, and the student pilot suffered a lower back injury. Emergency personnel had difficulty reaching the crash site, due to its location in a wooded area as far as two miles removed from the nearest paved road. "When you get instructions about, 'Go a mile-and-a-half, turn at the big rock and follow the dirt road,' it took us a little bit to get up there," Hinojosa said. Because of the remote location of the crash, medical helicopters were required to transport the patients to area hospitals, according to police. Representatives from the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed Wednesday that a team of investigators will work to determine what caused the crash. NBC 5's Holley Ford contributed to this report. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Aircraft-Down-in-Denton-County-302812961.html Back to Top FAA program tests drones flying beyond pilot's line-of-sight The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has announced tests of drones in urban areas as well as outside the pilot's line-of- sight, possibly paving the way for operations such as the aerial delivery of packages as proposed by companies like Amazon.com. FAA administrator Michael P. Huerta announced Wednesday a new Pathfinder Program under which the agency has partnered with three U.S. companies to explore three key types of unmanned operations. PrecisionHawk, a drone manufacturer, will be surveying crops in rural areas using unmanned aircraft flying outside of the pilot's direct vision, while BNSF Railroad will test the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to inspect their rail infrastructure beyond visual line-of-sight in isolated areas, Huerta said at a conference of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International. News network CNN will be testing drones for news gathering in urban areas. The FAA and Department of Transportation proposed in February new rules that would allow companies to fly drones of less than 55 pounds at an altitude of up to 500 feet and at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour during daylight hours. The drone must be flown by a licensed drone operator and kept within visual line-of-sight at all times. Huerta described the proposed rules as containing "commonsense provisions," like not flying near airports, at night, or more than 500 feet off the ground. While the FAA addresses over 4,000 comments on the proposal before finalizing the rule, which would take time, it is meanwhile looking for other ways to expand the use of unmanned aircraft. "We anticipate receiving valuable data from each of these trials that could result in FAA-approved operations in the next few years," Huerta said. The FAA also released at the conference a smartphone app, called B4UFLY, that users can use to determine whether there are any restrictions or requirements in effect at the location where they want to fly their UAS. The FAA is inviting volunteers to test the app, with plans to release to about 1,000 beta testers. It will be available on iOS first with an Android version to follow. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2919872/faa-program-tests-drones-flying-beyond-pilots-lineofsight.html Back to Top Jet Airways Pilot 'Incapacitated' on Bangkok-Delhi Flight The captain of a Jet Airways flight from Bangkok to Delhi 'fell sick' midair on Wednesday night, with some reports suggesting that he was 'incapacitated'. The Jet Airways Flight 9W063 was flying 200 passengers when the co-pilot informed the Air Traffic Control of the midair scare and took control of the plane, according to Hindustan Times. The plane landed safely in Delhi, and the pilot was attended to by a doctor who was travelling on the flight, according to the report. It is not clear how the pilot's health deteriorated during the flight and what his medical condition was. "As part of our flight training program, the flight crew and cabin crew of Jet Airways are routinely trained to handle this as well as other possible exigencies that may develop during a flight," a Jet Airways spokesperson told the newspaper. Some news channels reported that the pilot had been 'incapacitated' and that the passengers had a close shave. The incident comes a month after another major scare to Jet Airways passengers when a plane made an emergency landing at the Khajuraho airport. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/breaking-jet-airways-pilot-incapacitated-bangkok-delhi-flight-631622 Back to Top Rome airport fire strands thousands of fliers Smoke is seen over Rome's Fiumicino international airportSmoke is seen over Rome's Fiumicino international airport where a fire broke out overnight on May 7, 2015.

The incident has stranded "thousands" of passengers, according to media reports. The fire broke out inside the international terminal -- Terminal 3 -- just after midnight local time (6 p.m. ET). It took about five hours to bring under control, according to The Associated Press. The fire, thought to be sparked by an electrical short circuit in a restaurant, spread through about 4,000 square feet of retail space beyond the airport's security checkpoints. The impact to fliers was significant Thursday. Some departures had resumed by noon local time, but a third of the day's flights had been canceled as of 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET), according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. Airport officials told The Wall Street Journal Fiumicino was "gradually" beginning to resume its schedule, but it was unclear how long significant disruptions might linger. The international terminal was closed to passengers as of early Thursday afternoon. Flights scheduled to operate from that terminal were being shifted to other parts of the airport. Overnight, 19 international long-haul flights were permitted to land at the airport early Thursday, but most others were canceled or had to divert. The Rome airport is Italy's busiest airport, serving about 130,000 passengers a day. It's a hub for Italian carrier Alitalia. http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2015/05/07/rome-airport-fire-stranded-thousands-of-fliers/70934062/ Back to Top Back to Top Air Force Announces First Ever Female F-35 Fighter Jet Pilot, Lt. Col. Christine Mau Meet Lt. Col. Christine Mau, the first woman to fly the F-35 Lightning II fighter jet. Lt. Col. Christine Mau, 33rd Operations Group deputy commander, puts on her helmet before taking her first flight in the F- 35A on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., May 5, 2015. Mau took to the skies in an F-35 from Florida's Eglin Air Force Base on Tuesday, the Air Force announced. Previously, she'd completed 14 virtual training missions in a flight simulator. "It wasn't until I was taxiing to the runway that it really struck me that I was on my own in the jet," the former F-15E Strike Eagle pilot said, per a news release. "I had a chase aircraft, but there was no weapons system officer or instructor pilot sitting behind me, and no one in my ear like in simulators." Mau is the 88th F-35 pilot who has trained at Eglin in the last four years, the Air Force says. The F-35 program includes the Navy, Marine Corps and allied forces. Lt. Col. Christine Mau navigates her F-35A through the "bird bath" after returning from her first flight on Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., May 5, 2015. The F-35 is a state-of-the-art fighter jet. According to the Telegraph, the plane can fly at nearly twice the speed of sound, and is equipped with the latest in intelligence-gathering and stealth technologies. "This is simply a phenomenal flying machine," a British test pilot told the news outlet in 2013 after taking the jet for a spin. As The Hill points out, women have flown in combat since the 1990s, but the Air Force said Mau is the "first woman in the Air Force's premier fighter." Mau is no stranger to making history. In 2011, she was part of the first all-female combat sortie while deployed to Afghanistan. "Flying is a great equalizer," said Mau, per the release. "The plane doesn't know or care about your gender as a pilot, nor do the ground troops who need your support. You just have to perform. That's all anyone cares about when you're up there -- that you can do your job, and that you do it exceptionally well." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/07/christine-mau-first-female-f35-pilot_n_7229768.html Back to Top Air India Said Talking to Airbus for $1.5 Billion Jet Order An Air India Ltd. aircraft prepares to land at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, India. Photographer: Dhiraj Singh/Bloomberg Air India Ltd., the state-owned carrier, is in talks with Airbus Group NV to order single-aisle jets worth $1.5 billion at list prices, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions. The carrier wants to purchase at least 14 A320neo aircraft, according to the person, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. An A320neo costs $106.2 million at list prices, and buyers usually get a discount if they order planes in bulk. Air India will sell the new planes to lessors and then lease them back, the person said. A member of the Star Alliance, debt-laden Air India recently has focused on improving services and flying newer planes to compete with low-cost rivals like market leader IndiGo. The order for A320neos also would help consolidate Airbus's position in India's single-aisle market, where the French company has had a lead over America's Boeing Co. among budget airlines. "We're always in discussion with our customers, but we can't comment on any specific commercial discussions," Airbus spokesman Justin Dubon said by telephone. Boeing Decision Air India will lease the older version of the A320 until the new planes arrive, the person familiar with the discussions said. The carrier needs to replace at least 14 of the 62 A320s in its aging fleet this year, the person said. Air India also will decide in the next few days whether to convert its remaining orders for Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners to newer 787-9 jets, the person said. The carrier has taken delivery of 20 of the 27 Dreamliners it ordered. Air India also is considering placing an order for Boeing 737-Max planes to expand its fleet, a person with direct knowledge of the plan said in January. Air India plans to sell real-estate assets to trim its $6.5 billion debt load, an aviation ministry official said in January. The airline hasn't turned an annual profit since its 2007 merger with state-owned domestic operator Indian Airlines Ltd. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-07/air-india-said-in-talks-with-airbus-for-1-5-billion-jet-order Back to Top Common Black Fungus That Eats Oatmeal Used To Create Jet Fuel Compounds A common black fungus, Aspergillus carbonarius ITEM 5010, found in decaying leaves, soil and rotting fruit has been used to to create hydrocarbons, the chief component of petroleum, similar to those in aviation fuels. The fungus produced the most hydrocarbons on a diet of oatmeal but also created them by eating wheat straw or the non-edible leftovers from corn production. Fungi have been of interest for about a decade within biofuels production as the key producer of enzymes necessary for converting biomass to sugars. Some researchers showed that fungi could create hydrocarbons, but the research was limited to a specific fungus living within a specific tree in the rainforest, and the actual hydrocarbon concentrations were not reported. Using fungi for hydrocarbon and biofuels production is better than other methods because they do the work themselves, bypassing multiple complicated chemical processes required by other biofuel production methods.The team suspects that fungi produce hydrocarbons, large compounds that are costly for the organism to produce, as a protective mechanism and that fungi react to bacterial attacks by increasing their hydrocarbon production. Aspergillus carbonarius ITEM 5010. Credit: DOE Standard Aspergillus fungi have been used to produce enzymes and other useful products, which have been patented and are under commercialization, so a team led by Birgitte Ahring, director and Battelle distinguished professor at Washington State University Tri-Cities, decided to look into A. carbonarius ITEM 5010's potential for biofuels. Kenneth Bruno, a researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, developed the method essential for the genetic manipulation of A. carbonarius. The researchers are now working to optimize the fungi's hydrocarbon production and improve biochemical pathways through genetic engineering. They have obtained mutants with a higher production level and are working on improving these strains by using gene coding for specific hydrocarbons out of blue green bacteria and algae. It's the same challenge faced by mold researchers nearly a century ago, who found they could only produce a tiny amount of their product. Once they optimized production, we had antibiotics. The researchers hope the process leads to economically viable production of aviation biofuels in the next five years.

Until then, airline passengers are just hoping for decent Wi-Fi to Tweet or Instagram important moments from their journeys. And when that Wi-Fi ain't working, it's time for a class action lawsuit! NJ resident Cary M. David has filed a $5 million lawsuit against United Airlines that, according to Top Class Actions, "alleges passengers who purchased in-flight Wi-Fi and DirecTV services during an international flight were not informed by the airline that these two types of services were only available in continental U.S. flights." David paid $7.99 for DirecTV service for her four-hour flight to Puerto Rico, but only got 10 minutes of use time because it only works over the continental U.S. From her lawsuit: [DirecTV and Wi-FI] services can be purchased for a fee. DirecTV and WiFi service work only when a plane is flying over the continental United States. Despite this known limitation, United sells these services to passengers on the Flights and fails to disclose that the services will not work as advertised when the aircraft is outside the continental United States or is over water. It is not until they have crossed U.S. borders or are over water, with no service, that customers learn that their DirecTV and/or WiFi service will not work for all or part of the flight. Despite knowing that DirecTV and/or WiFi will not work on flights (or portions thereof) over water or outside the U.S. Borders, United both advertises the availability of the Services and accepts payment for same from customers on those flights. The lawsuit notes that United's website details where Wi-Fi and DirecTV are available, but during David's flight (substantially all of which is over water) United "advertised to passengers via the TV screen to 'SWIPE NOW to receive over 100 channels of DirecTV.' Nowhere does United disclose that this advertisement is intentionally false, made to induce passengers to swipe their credit card in-flight, knowing that the Services passengers thought they were purchasing were unavailable." As for why it's a $5 million class action lawsuit, well, United charges anywhere from $4.99 to $49 for Wi-Fi and DirecTV services, "Plaintiff reasonably estimates that there are thousands of Class members who purchased the services complained of herein, and at least hundreds, if not thousands, of members of the Sub-Class who purchased the same services." United has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. And this is how the airline outfits planes with Wi-Fi: http://gothamist.com/2015/05/06/nj_woman_sues_united_airlines_for_n.php Back to Top Research Request Website: www.pilothealthstudy.org Survey Link: https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_5tI5A1w1asEx0CF Back to Top Research Request Research Request for Pilots Assistance in Validating a Prototype Knowledge & Competency Exam The Center for Aviation Safety Research (CASR) at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, MO (USA) requests your help recruiting volunteers to validate a new exam they have just created to test pilot's knowledge in certain topic areas.
