This graphic from CBS Chicago illustrates how Southwest Airlines Flight 3828 to Tulsa, Oklahoma, had been cleared for takeoff and was speeding down the runway at the same time Delta Air Lines Flight 1328 to Atlanta was beginning to take off on the intersecting runway without proper clearance. (CBS Chicago/Google Earth) CHICAGO - Two passenger jets began to take off at the same time on intersecting runways at Chicago's Midway International Airport, prompting a controller to shout over the radio for one of the pilots to halt to avoid a collision, aviation officials said Wednesday. The Federal Aviation Administration was investigating Tuesday night's near-miss in which each plane stopped about 2,000 feet from the runway intersection. Southwest Airlines Flight 3828 to Tulsa, Oklahoma, had been cleared for takeoff and was speeding down the runway. At the same time, an air traffic controller saw Delta Air Lines Flight 1328 to Atlanta beginning to take off on the intersecting runway without proper clearance, the FAA said. "1328, stop, stop stop!" the controller shouted, according to audio posted on the website LiveATC.net. "1328 stopping," the pilot answered in a calm voice, before the controller directed both planes to different taxiways. The Southwest plane also safely aborted its takeoff, according to airline spokesman Brian Parrish. The aircraft later continued on to Tulsa. http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2015/06/chicago_controller_prevents_de.html Back to Top NTSB expected to investigate close call at Midway Close call between two airliners at Midway Airport Two airliners shared a close call at Midway Airport after similiar-sounding flight numbers caused confusion during takeoff. contact the reporter Delta Air Lines Southwest Airlines Federal Aviation Administration National Transportation Safety Board Midway Airport O'Hare International Airport Jon Hilkevitch Close call at Midway Airport may have been because of similar flight numbers Confusion over similar-sounding flight numbers is under investigation as the cause of a close call between two airliners taking off on intersecting runways at Midway Airport, an aviation source said Wednesday. A Southwest Airlines plane, Flight 3828, was cleared for takeoff on runway 31 Center on Tuesday night, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. As Flight 3828 began its takeoff roll, Delta Air Lines Flight 1328 also began rolling on runway 4 Right without clearance from the Midway tower, according to the preliminary FAA investigation. Midway traffic Passengers wait to travel at Midway Airport in July 2012. A Southwest Airlines plane, cleared for takeoff on Midway runway 31 Center on June 16, 2015, came close to colliding with a Delta Air Lines flight that had not been cleared for takeoff. (Zbigniew Bzdak, Chicago Tribune) Both planes were operating at full takeoff power, which is standard procedure on the Southwest Side airport's relatively short runways, the source said. The controller directing both planes spotted the Delta plane's movement and ordered the Delta pilots to stop immediately, the FAA said. The Southwest pilots also hit the brakes. Each aircraft traveled about one-third down its respective runway, stopping 2,000 to 3,000 feet short of the runway intersection between 31 Center and 4 Right, the source said. Before the incident, a Midway ground controller had notified both pilots about the similar and potentially confusing flight numbers of the two planes waiting to depart, and he advised the pilots to listen carefully to radio calls, according to tapes of the incident, which are on http://www.LiveATC.net On the transmission, the tower controller is heard clearing Southwest Flight 3828 for takeoff. But when the Southwest pilot radios back confirmation, his voice is obscured, or "stepped on," by a dual transmission, apparently from Delta Flight 1328. During a dual transmission, each pilot hears only some of what is being communicated. A second dual transmission then occurs, and seconds later, as the Southwest plane is accelerating down runway 31 Center, the Delta plane is also on a takeoff roll on intersecting runway 4 Right, sources said. A controller abruptly yells, "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" A pilot says, "Aborting," and another pilot announces, "SWA stopping." After both planes safely make an emergency stop short of the intersection, the Southwest pilot is heard on the tape asking the control tower whether he mishandled his takeoff clearance. "Were we the ones cleared for takeoff?" The controller responds, "Yes, sir, you were. You were doing what you were supposed to be doing." "Delta took our -. Delta was rolling also?" the pilot asks. "He took your call signs," the controller says. "Somebody kept stepping on you. I couldn't figure out who it was, that's why I reiterated that it was you that I was calling for takeoff." The controller is also heard providing an FAA phone number and advising the Delta captain to report a pilot deviation. The Southwest plane taxied back to the terminal for a safety check because of overheated brakes from the emergency stop, the source said. The plane ended up leaving for Tulsa, Okla. where it landed safely, according to a Southwest spokesman. The Delta crew also contacted its company, but the plane quickly got back into the departure line and flew out of Midway to Atlanta, officials said. Delta released a statement saying that it was "fully cooperating with the FAA's investigation." The Delta plane, a Boeing 717-200, is designed to carry 110 passengers. It was not immediately known how many passengers were on the plane. The Southwest plane was a Boeing 737, and had 139 passengers and five crew members on board, according to Southwest officials. The National Transportation Safety Board, which has investigated runway incursions at O'Hare International Airport in recent years, is expected to assign investigators to examine the incident at Midway, officials said. Runway incursions involving planes taxiing on the airfield, taking off or landing are a top safety concern - much more so than the risk of a midair collision - and the FAA has worked with airports and airlines to reduce the danger at airports, officials said. The FAA, as part of its NextGen air traffic modernization program, is developing a program to provide data communications between pilots and air traffic controllers in place of voice communications for many routine functions. Data communications will improve safety by reducing communications errors that can occur during verbal exchanges, the FAA said, particularly involving pilots for whom English is a second language, as well as cut the time spent exchanging information and reconfirming it. The new data system, which is likely years off, would also reduce delays, fuel burn and pollution, according to the agency. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-midway-airport-close-call-20150617-story.html Back to Top Thai aviation sector 'red flagged' for safety Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok Thailand's aviation body has been 'red flagged' for failing to meet the ICAO safety standards The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has downgraded Thailand's aviation standards, "red flagging" the country for failing to address safety concerns. In March, the ICAO issued an alert on Thailand's aviation body after a safety audit revealed that it failed to adequately oversee its airlines. The move led to a ban on new flights to China, Japan and South Korea. Thai officials had then submitted plans to deal with the concerns in March. But, the ICAO "red flagged" the country's body on Thursday for failing to solve the issues within 90 days. Thailand's aviation sector joins 12 other developing countries, including Nepal and Sierra Leone, that have been downgraded to Category 2 from Category 1 by the organisation for its safety standards. An audit in January by the United Nations body had found that Thailand's aviation authority had a shortage of technical officers and issues with certifying the transportation of hazardous goods. The warning meant the country's airlines had to cancel flights and refund or alter thousands of air tickets. The country's flag carrier, Thai Airways, said in a statement that it followed the "highest safety standards" in all operational areas, despite the red flag from the international regulator. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33181534 Back to Top France opens judicial investigation into Germanwings crash that killed 150 PARIS - A French prosecutor says a judicial investigation has begun into the Germanwings jet crash that killed all 150 people on board. Brice Robin, the Marseille prosecutor in charge of the original probe, said the independent judicial inquiry started late Wednesday in an involuntary manslaughter case, allowing investigating magistrates free rein to look into any person, company or public agency in France, Germany or elsewhere who might have been responsible. The co-pilot of the flight slammed the jet into the Alps on March 24. Investigators say Andreas Lubitz locked the pilot out of the cockpit and flew the plane into the French mountainside after researching suicide methods and cockpit door rules and practicing an unusual descent. Lubitz, who had a history of depression and medical issues, was cleared to fly. http://www.startribune.com/france-opens-judicial-investigation-into-germanwings-crash/308112501/ Back to Top US flight takes shocking U-turn for two mystery passengers According to United Airlines, this last-minute chaos held up the flight for 46 minutes. Who were they? No one seems to really know. But on flight UA-83 of United Airlines, passengers were curious. The two mysterious men were embarked, at the cost of a 46-minute delay even after the Delhi- Newark flight had begun taxiing, after the plane returned to the boarding area of the international terminal of IGI Airport on June 13 night. It was 11.35 pm when the passengers of flight UA-83 were all aboard the aircraft, waiting to take off for the American destination. The aircraft had begun taxiing -- moments away from the sky. Then came a phone call. The pilots had to abort the take-off. The airline was allegedly called up by an Indian government agency demanding that the aircraft return to the boarding area for these two men. "After getting clearances from ATC, customs, etc, the doors of United Airlines flight UA-83 were closed and the staff removed the jetty. As the flight started moving towards the runway, a senior official of the United Airlines got a call to abort the take-off as they had to take two passengers. After a few seconds, the pilots made a Uturn and came back to the area where the passengers board flights. This is shocking as no airline is allowed to take passengers the way United Airlines did," a senior aviation official told Mail Today. The airline has confirmed the incident. According to United Airlines, this last-minute chaos held up the flight for 46 minutes. According to an estimate, this 46-minute delay must have burnt extra fuel of around 1.5 to 2 tonnes. After returning to the boarding area, the aircraft had to go through a re-run: jetties had to be attached and all the clearances had to be taken once again. The two mystery men boarded the flight, took their seats even as questions floated through rows of seats about their identity. United Airlines has refused to reveal the identity of these two passengers and told Mail Today that these passengers were handed over to them by the Immigration as they were denied entry into India. "Flight UA-83 on June 13, 2015 returned to the gate briefly to enable the embarkation of two customers after United was informed by the Indian Immigration authorities that the customers had been denied entry into India and would have to be returned to the US. We did not accommodate any late-arriving customers on the flight. The flight departed at 12.21 am, 46 minutes behind schedule," Kevin Johnston, Head of Press, Europe, Middle East, Africa and India told Mail Today. But who were these two men? Were they spooks of some foreign spy agency? Why were they unwanted in India? The questions are unanswered. However, officials of the civil aviation ministry have questioned the argument made by the airline. "The aircraft reached IGI Airport around 9.30 pm and given A-03 parking bay as per record. If the Immigration had deported much before the scheduled time as they had almost three hours. Also, if the Immigration delayed it then United Airlines could have refused to accept the passengers in the same flight as without Immigration departure clearance it is not possible for any flight to start operations," a senior ministry official told Mail Today. According to the ministry, an inquiry has to be ordered to understand why the flight got delayed. And as to who were these men actually? So it was 11.50 pm when the pilots sought the start-up clearance once again. However, the take-off was still many minutes away. There were procedures to be followed. While the mystery men and other passengers remained seated inside the aircraft, the clearances from the airport officials followed one by one. It consumed time and possibly tested patience of the passengers. In the end, the flight did take off. However, there is discrepancy in the timing of Two mystery men force US plane's U-turn take-off and other procedures as claimed by the United Airlines and the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC). While the airline claimed the flight took off at 12.21 am, the AOCC said it took off at 12.12 am. A senior AOCC official confirmed that UA-83 had arrived at 9.30 pm at Gate A-03 and was scheduled to take off at 11.35 pm. But it all went haywire at the last moment. The flight's start-up clearance was pushed back at 11.50 pm and finally the aircraft took off at 12.12 am. But, according to the airlines, the flight got delayed by 46 minutes and took off at 12.21 am. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/us-flight-united-airlines-flight-ua-83-mystery-passengers-delhi-newark- flight-igi-airport/1/445013.html Back to Top JetBlue Aircraft Cleaners Demand Better Protection From Bodily Fluids, And A Living Wage Airline workers protesting outside of JetBlue headquarters this afternoon Airport terminal and cabin cleaners who work for JetBlue are protesting outside of the airline's Long Island City headquarters this afternoon to demand living wages and benefits, as well as more stringent health and safety standards to protect them from all the vomit and blood they regularly encounter. Workers allege that Roma and Ultimate Aircraft, JetBlue's non-union cleaning service subcontractors, fail to supply their employees with sanitary gloves or goggles to clean airport bathrooms and airplane galleys, and distribute unmarked cleaning chemicals. Workers say their wages, which start at the Port Authority- mandated minimum of $10.10, are not livable. Today's protesters are also calling on JetBlue to formally acknowledge their membership in SEIU 32BJ, the service workers union they recently voted to join. Dominise Wright has been working the graveyard shift for Ultimate Aircraft as an on-flight cleaner for just shy of two years, and recently got a raise to $11.00 per hour. Wright commutes from Bed-Stuy, where she lives with her sister. "I have my cellphone bill to pay, and putting food in the house, and paying rent-even now making $11 an hour is not doing anything." Wright opted out of Ultimate's optional health care plan, which, according to a 32BJ spokeswoman, withholds up to $300 monthly. She uses Medicaid instead. On a given night, Wright and a handful of workers clean between 10 and 16 airplanes, from the restrooms to the seat-back pockets. While cleaning airplane galleys, "Sometimes I find vomit on the floor, sometimes blood, sometimes used wet and dry wipes, and gum under the seats." Workers allege that without adequate gloves from their employer, they must use JetBlue gloves that are stored on each flight for attendants, but are too thin to adequately protect them from harsh chemicals. "The chemicals soak right through and break the gloves," Wright said. She added that she occasionally comes across syringes in seatback pockets. On Monday, cabin cleaners filed the latest in a string of OSHA complaints, this one focusing on lack of protective equipment and exposure to blood-borne pathogens in JFK's Terminal Five. One anonymous Ultimate employee of two years wrote in his testimonial: "I have never been offered a hepatitis vaccine. I never got training on the chemicals we use.... When we find blood we are supposed to clean it with a rag and spray. When we tell the supervisors they say, 'Just clean it.'" Another wrote, "The company gives me 5 rags to clean 14 or more planes and each plane has 3-4 bathrooms. I have to use the same rag to clean the floor, wall, toilet, and sink." As a whole, the airline industry relies heavily on non-union subcontractors. In January 2014, cabin cleaners, bag haulers, and other minimum wage airport employees-all employed by subcontractors-rallied outside of Port Authority, demanding a living wage, in addition to vacation days and health benefits. Later that month, 32 protestors were arrested outside of LaGuardia while rallying for similar benefits. Reached by phone, a JetBlue spokesman reiterated that "all of our 17,000 crew members make more than minimum wage." Ultimate Airline did not immediately responded to requests for comment. http://gothamist.com/2015/06/17/jetblue_plane_cleaners_rights.php Back to Top Back to Top Rolls-Royce Fights Back in Business-Jet Turbine Market British engineering group to develop new range of engines as part of technological push An employee on the final assembly line of Rolls-Royce Holdings' aircraft-engine factory in Dahlewitz, Germany. By ROBERT WALL LE BOURGET, France- Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC plans to refresh its lineup of aircraft engines aimed at the lucrative business-jet market, part of a technological push by the British engineering group to extend the reach of its jet-engine business. The decision to create a new generation of turbines for pricey private planes comes as Rolls-Royce explores how to re-enter the huge market for single-aisle jetliners, four years after exiting the segment. Rolls-Royce is a leading supplier of engines for long-range, widebody jets. The U.K. group, which has long dominated the market to power corporate jets, has recently seen rivals gain ground. Snecma, the engine arm of Safran Group SA, has become the engine supplier on the French Dassault Aviation SA Falcon 5X jet after Rolls had that position early on in the design phase. 'We are fighting back hard. Our intention is to remain a very significant player in that market place.' -Rolls-Royce Aerospace President Tony Wood Pratt & Whitney Canada, a unit of United Technologies Corp. powers the G500 and G600 from General Dynamics Corp.'s plane-making unit Gulfstream. Rolls-Royce previously was a preferred engine supplier to the U.S. business jet maker and still powers its flagship G650 long-range plane. "We are fighting back hard," Tony Wood, President of Rolls-Royce Aerospace said in an interview at the Paris Air Show. "Our intention is to remain a very significant player in that market place," he said. Rolls-Royce last year unveiled plans to build a series of demonstration turbines to validate advanced technologies for future, more fuel-efficient, easy-to-maintain jetliner engines. Mr. Wood said the company plans a similar arrangement for smaller business-jet engines. "There is a bit of a technology refresh going on here," Mr. Wood said. The company is still guarded about details of its technology-demonstration program which he said is about "positioning for the next-generation business aircraft." Rolls-Royce, a supplier of engines for Boeing Co.'s 787 Dreamliner and Airbus Group SE's A350 jetliners, spends about £1.2 billion a year on research and development. "We won't be sitting on our laurels," said Mr. Wood. http://www.wsj.com/articles/rolls-royce-fights-back-in-business-jet-turbine-market-1434621136 Back to Top Boeing looking closely at an all-new jet for 2025 John Wojick, head of sales at Boeing Commercial Airplanes Boeing is moving forward with a study of an all-new "Middle of the Market" jet that would enter service in the middle of the next decade. PARIS - Boeing is moving forward with a study of an all-new commercial jet that would enter service in the middle of the next decade, sales chief John Wojick said in an interview ahead of the Paris Air Show. In the past year, Wojick's sales team has had detailed discussions with airline customers and has determined that the market is big enough to potentially go forward with a multibillion-dollar investment to build the first all-new jet since the 787 Dreamliner, launched in 2003. A final decision on launching such a jet remains far off, likely not before 2019. But Boeing's determination that there is a market worth chasing is a necessary early step that triggers further detailed study of the business case for going ahead. "A year ago, we weren't convinced the market was large enough to be of that much interest," Wojick said. "What we've determined over the past year is that it's larger than we thought." Boeing internally refers to the proposed jet as a "Middle of the Market" airplane, because it's intermediate in size between the 737 single-aisle family and the 787, which is Boeing's smallest widebody. Originally a plane that size was discussed as a replacement for the single-aisle 757, which Boeing stopped building in 2005. However, the proposal that emerged from Boeing's market research goes well beyond that. Wojick said Boeing is looking at a plane seating 220 to 280 passengers with a range of 4,500 to 5,000 miles. "That's larger than a 757 and flies farther than a 757," Wojick said. "It's a domestic and a regional airplane. It would be very efficient operating domestically in the U.S. or China, and regionally as well in Southeast Asia and Europe. It could fly from the East Coast of the U.S. to many destinations in Europe." Wojick said the jet probably couldn't enter service before the middle of the next decade because the configuration outlined demands a higher-thrust engine than those powering today's single-aisle jets. In addition, Boeing's engineering and financial resources will be tied up with the 737 MAX and the 777X derivative airplanes through at least 2020. Wojick said Mike Sinnett, vice president of product development, is leading the study of the proposed jet, along with Scott Fancher, vice president of airplane development who now leads the 777X program. What's ahead for them, Wojick said, is to determine the detailed configuration of an airplane that fits the identified market and also "what type of production system and materials need to be used." Basic questions such as whether the proposed jet should be a single-aisle or a twin-aisle, and whether it will be made largely from metal or from composite plastic are still unanswered, he said. If Boeing finally decides to launch the airplane, the decision on the production system will of course also raise the key question of where the plane will be built. Everett and North Charleston, S.C., are the most likely candidates for final assembly. However, Wojick said that decision is "way down the pike." In the meantime, Boeing is digesting the input from the airlines. Wojick said there is interest from a diverse customer base, including carriers that today fly the 757 across the Atlantic - American, Delta, United and Icelandair - as well as low-cost carriers. He said Southwest Airlines is potentially interested. And so is Alaska Air, which today flies Boeing's largest 737 on long-distance routes to the East Coast and Mexico. "Anchorage and Seattle are a long way from large population bases," Wojick said. "We'll see how far they want to go." http://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeing-looking-closely-at-an-all-new-jet-for-2025/ Back to Top AMAZON TO CONGRESS: DRONE DELIVERY AIRCRAFT READY WITHIN A YEAR AMAZON AND THE FAA SAY PRODUCT DELIVERIES VIA DRONES COULD BEGIN MUCH SOONER THAN ANYONE EVER EXPECTED. Senior officials from Amazon and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) testified before Congress yesterday on the feasibility of using drones for commercial purposes-and it turns out Amazon could be making drone deliveries within the year. Not only that, but the e-commerce company wants to deliver products within 30 minutes using the small, unmanned aircraft. Michael Whitaker, the FAA's deputy administrator, said the agency expects to formalize regulations for commercial drones within 12 months. This is a huge change; commercial drone regulations for purposes such as delivery and filming major sports events were not expected until 2016 or 2017 at the earliest. "The rule will be in place within a year," he told the House of Representatives' Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "We'd like to begin delivering to our customers as soon as it's approved," added Amazon vice president of global public policy Paul Misener. "We will have it in place by the time any regulations are ready. We are working very quickly." He added that the company plans to use drones to deliver products within 30 minutes of customers ordering them. But there's a rub: Amazon wants to make sure its drone program is regulated by the FAA-and not state or local authorities more vulnerable to demands by local citizens. In written testimony to the committee, Misener said that Amazon insists on federal regulation for their drone deliveries under interstate commerce laws. Fast Company has reported previously on NASA's attempts to develop an air traffic control system for drone aircraft in the United States. Yesterday, Amazon also announced R&D efforts based around hiring amateur delivery people via a TaskRabbit-style app. http://www.fastcompany.com/3047567/fast-feed/amazon-to-congress-drone-delivery-aircraft-ready-within- a-year Back to Top Ukraine to build modern airplane factory in Saudi Arabia The testing shop of the Antonov Serial Plant (Aviant State Company Kiev Aviation Plant), a subsidiary of Antonov, home to serial production of Antonov aircraft. (RIA Novosti/Sergey Mamontov)The testing shop of the Antonov Serial Plant (Aviant State Company Kiev Aviation Plant), a subsidiary of Antonov, home to serial production of Antonov aircraft. (RIA Novosti/Sergey Mamontov) Ukraine has signed a deal to construct an airplane factory in Saudi Arabia. The plant will use the latest technology to produce the new AN-132 light transport aircraft. The AN?132 will be the first aircraft produced at a new aviation complex in Saudi Arabia. The general purpose plane can carry 9 tons of cargo on short and medium routes. Ukraine's state-run Antonov aircraft company will participate in the design and construction of the plant along with partners Taqnia of Saudi Arabia, the Ukrainian Scientific Research Institute of Aviation Technologies, Altis Holding of Ukraine, and Broetje?Automation of Germany, according to a statement on the Antonov website issued Wednesday. The agreement was signed at this year's Paris air show. Ukrainian manufacturer Antonov and Saudi state-owned King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) agreed in April to produce a modernized version of Antonov's AN-32 military transport aircraft. The AN?132 prototype will be ready in eighteen months according to the director of the KACST Space and Aeronautics Research Institute Dr. Khaled A.Alhussan. The aircraft is intended to replace aircraft similar to the obsolete AN-32 and AN-26 aircraft. In May 2015 state-owned Antonov was transferred from Ukraine's Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to the Ukrainian Defense Industry (Ukroboronprom). The new head of the enterprise Mikhail Gvozdev has been tasked with reestablishing the company as a major airplane manufacturer. http://rt.com/business/267820-ukraine-saudi-aviation-plant/ Back to Top Harvard University Pilot Health Study Researchers at Harvard University, are conducting the largest anonymous airline pilot health study to date.(www.pilothealthstudy.org) This study is open to current, retired, and airline and corporate pilots.
