Phoenix Fire Department Capt. Rob McDade said American Flight 692 landed safely Saturday at Sky Harbor International Airport and rescue units stationed along the runway weren't needed. Airline spokeswoman Katie Cody said the Airbus 330-300 crossed over the Arizona-California line about 150 miles (241 kilometers) west of Phoenix before turning back after an indicator light came on. She didn't elaborate on the nature of the problem. Cody said the flight was canceled and the 270 passengers would be booked onto other flights. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/arizona/articles/2018-01-27/hawaii-bound-jet-returns- to-phoenix-after-mechanical-issue Back to Top Party balloons almost bring down private jet flying above London Party balloons almost brought down a private jet in London last year (Picture: Getty) A bunch of party balloons almost brought down a private jet minutes after it had taken off from a central London airport. Thankfully, a pilot on board of the Cessna 560 spotted the bundle of 20 yellow and black balloons shortly after take off and shouted 'Watch out!' to his colleagues, reports the Sun. Man found guilty of posting sex toys through neighbour's letterbox The quick thinking crew disconnected the autopilot and dodged them, passing just 6ft above it and 3ft to the left, around 2,300 ft in the air. Safety investigators said that a major incident was only prevented by 'good fortune'. The flight had taken off from London City airport and continued on its flight without any further problems. A Cessna 560 aircraft was almost brought down by the balloons (File picture: Tomas Del Coro) The flight had taken of from London City airport just minutes earlier (Picture: PA) The near-miss on October 6 was one of 15 incidents discussed at the latest meeting of the UK Airprox Board (UKAB), who aim to improve air safety in the UK. MORE: UK The biggest moments from Donald Trump's interview with Piers Morgan Children's putty pulled from Amazon over arsenic fears Amateur boxer who punched a pregnant woman in the stomach jailed The UKAB classed the incident as having the most serious risk of collision.

The jet was flying at 1,700 feet over Kew in West London on October 25, at 11.50am when the jet's first officer spotted the drone out of his window at a range of about 5 feet. The crew believed the drone was so close to the jet that there was no way it could not avoid striking the aircraft's tail. Fortunately the aircraft was able to land on runway 27 left without incident and engineers found no evidence that the jet had been damaged by the drone. The aircraft was later released back into service after a full inspection. However, the flight crew reported the incident to the UK Airprox Board, who assemble evidence of near misses in UK air space - including incidents involving drones. According to the Airprox board the drone was being 'flown in the vicinity of an airfield approach' and 'was endangering other aircraft at that location and altitude'. The report concluded: 'The Board considered that the pilot's estimate of separation, allied to his overall account of the incident and his inability to avoid the drone portrayed a situation where providence had played a major part in the incident and / or a definite risk of collision had existed'. Other drone incidents included an Airbus A320 on short finals at Manchester's 23 Right runway when a passenger, who is also a qualified A320 pilot saw a 'quadcopter' pass 50 feet to the right and 50 feet below the aircraft. Neither of the pilots on the flight deck spotted the drone which happened about 500 feet above the ground on November 4. On November 17, around four miles north east of Manchester airport a Dornier 328 spotted a drone at around 1,400 feet while approaching the airfield. The pilot said he spotted the object 'slightly ahead and below' his aircraft. He said there was ''very little time from first sighting to it passing behind and out of view'. The Airprox report said the chance of collision between the drone and the aircraft was 'high'. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5319195/Drone-passes-5-feet-passenger-jet- Heathrow.html#ixzz55X3Mjxxt Back to Top Serial stowaway arrested at Chicago airport days after leaving jail (CNN)A woman arrested earlier this month for sneaking onto a flight to London was taken into custody again on Sunday after police found her at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, authorities said. Marilyn Hartman was arrested on charges of misdemeanor criminal trespass and violation of bail bond, Chicago Police said. Now she's back in jail, just three days after she was released in another case stemming from the London trip. The 66-year-old's repeated efforts to sneak onto flights earned her the nickname "serial stowaway." Most recently, she succeeded in traveling from Chicago to London without a passport or boarding pass, Chicago Police said. On January 14, she made it through O'Hare security and onto a flight bound for Heathrow Airport, Chicago Police said. British Customs officials detained her at Heathrow on January 15. She returned to O'Hare on January 18 and was arrested on the spot. Hartman left jail on Thursday after a judge reduced her bond and dropped an electronic monitoring requirement, CNN affiliate WBBM reported. As a condition of her release, Hartman was ordered to stay away from O'Hare and Chicago Midway Airport and undergo a psychiatric evaluation, CNN affiliate WLS reported. Then, around 1:25 a.m. Sunday, Chicago Police officers responded to a call at O'Hare of a woman refusing to leave, the department said. Officers searched the airport and found a woman later identified as Hartman in Terminal 3. She was ordered to be electronically monitored, based on the new charge of criminal trespass. Her next court date is January 31, said Ansari with the Cook County Sheriff's office. Hartman made national news in 2014, when she was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for successfully boarding a flight from Mineta San Jose International Airport without a ticket. She pleaded no contest to the charges and was sentenced to probation. The next day she was rearrested at Los Angeles International Airport. She was arrested in Florida in 2015. Another arrest followed at O'Hare in 2016 for violating her probation, which forbid her from setting foot on airport property. She was sentenced to six months of house arrest in a mental health facility for violating court orders to stay away from airports, WBBM reported. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/28/us/serial-stowaway-marilyn-hartman-arrested- chicago/index.html Back to Top Family of Erebus crash victim upset at Antarctica setting for Air NZ safety video It's the location of New Zealand's worst ever air disaster and now it's going to be the location for Air New Zealand's latest safety video. The prospect has upset some of the relatives of those who died when an Air New Zealand DC10 crashed into Mt Erebus in 1979, killing all 257 on board. Nicholas Bennett says it's "offensive and very disrespectful", although other family members have reportedly been more relaxed. Mr Bennett shares his reaction with Susie Ferguson. The family of an Erebus crash victim is upset about Air New Zealand's latest in-flight safety video, filmed in Antarctica. The video will be released in March in an effort by the national carrier to highlight research work being undertaken on the frozen continent. It comes nearly 40 years after Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed into Mt Erebus, killing all 257 on board. Antarctica is set to be the scene of Air New Zealand's inflight next safety video. The airline has contacted affected families, telling them of plans to release the video and its intention to focus on their research projects while respecting sensitivities surrounding the crash. Air New Zealand chief operations integrity and standards officer David Morgan said in his letter to a family member the airline is conscious that Antarctica is of great significance to those families. The spectre of Mt Erebus looms over Air New Zealand's connections with the frozen continent. He wanted representatives of those lost on Mt Erebus to be among the first to know of this project, he said. "While we're proud of the work we're doing together to contribute to this research, we are very aware of the sensitivities of choosing Antarctica as a location. "The Erebus tragedy weighs heavily on Air New Zealand and our country, and we would like to assure you we have approached filming in a very respectful way." https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/100953459/family-of-erebus-crash-upset-antarctica-will-be- setting-for-next-air-nz-safety-video Back to Top FAA Issues Emergency Order of Revocation Against TapJets, Inc. WASHINGTON-The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an Emergency Order of Revocation against TapJets, Inc. of Spring, Texas and Fargo, North Dakota, for allegedly conducting passenger-carrying flights using unqualified pilots and operating unauthorized aircraft. The FAA alleges that between Sept. 28, 2016 and Jan. 22, 2017, TapJets operated 10 passenger- carrying flights with pilots who were unqualified. On one of those flights, the airman who served as second-in-command only had a student pilot certificate, when a commercial pilot certificate was required, the FAA alleges. Additionally, the FAA alleges both TapJets' President and its Director of Operations piloted several of these flights when either the crew was unqualified or the aircraft being used was unauthorized. The FAA further alleges the company conducted 14 passenger-carrying flights with aircraft that it was not authorized to use because they were not listed on its air carrier certificate. The FAA alleges TapJets knowingly used unqualified pilots, operated in a careless or reckless manner that endangered lives or property, and exhibited a cavalier attitude toward regulatory compliance. The Emergency Order of Revocation is effective immediately, and the company cannot conduct charter flights while the order is in effect. http://www.aviation.ca/2018012522695/news/international/us/federal-aviation- administration/22695-press-release-faa-issues-emergency-order-of-revocation-against-tapjets-inc Back to Top Bombardier wins fight against huge tariffs on aircraft imports * Defeat for Trump administration could save thousands of jobs at company's Belfast operation A Bombardier CS300 jet Thousands of jobs in Northern Ireland appear to have been saved after plane maker Bombardier won a legal battle in the US that has overturned damaging import tariffs on its C-series aircraft. On Friday the US International Trade Commission (ITC) voted unanimously against Boeing in favour of its Canadian rival Bombardier after Donald Trump's administration had threatened to impose duties of 292%. The decision defied the expectations of both the British government and trade unions in Northern Ireland. Theresa May spoke with Trump over the dispute at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where the prime minister is reported to have reiterated the importance of Bombardier to the Northern Irish economy. Boeing had complained to US authorities that the C-series jets were being sold to the US airline Delta below their production cost and had been given illegal subsidies from the UK and Canadian governments. But the commission voted 4-0 in favour of Bombardier against Boeing, which had raised a complaint about the Canadian manufacturer receiving state subsidies. Boeing had won a ruling in the US that resulted in the imposition of the tariff on Bombardier's jets, which were built for a number of US airlines. "Today's decision is a victory for innovation, competition and the rule of law. It is also a victory for US airlines and the US travelling public," Bombardier said. "The C-series is the most innovative and efficient new aircraft in a generation. Its development and production represent thousands of jobs in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. "We are extremely proud of our employees, investors and suppliers, who have worked together to bring this remarkable aircraft to the market. With this matter behind us, we are moving full speed ahead with finalising our partnership with Airbus. "Integration planning is going well and we look forward to delivering the C-series to the US market so that US airlines and the US flying public can enjoy the many benefits of this remarkable aircraft." After the ITC's decision May said: "I welcome this decision, which is good news for British industry." Business secretary Greg Clark added: "The decision by the International Trade Commission confirms what the UK and Canadian governments working hand in hand has maintained from the outset, that this case is unjustified." The Unite union in Northern Ireland said on Friday night that workers were "jubilant" over the ruling. Steve Turner, a Unite assistant general secretary, said the victory was a result of political pressure arising from the trade union movement's campaign to save thousands of jobs in Belfast, where Bombardier builds the wings for the C-series jets. Turner said: "Bombardier workers in Northern Ireland and throughout the supply chain in the UK will be breathing a huge sigh of relief that the International Trade Commission has seen though Boeing's baseless complaint. When the going got tough, Unite did not thrown in the towel. Our members and shop stewards redoubled their efforts in bringing pressure to bear on politicians in Washington, Westminster, Brussels and Northern Ireland." He added that there could now be "no backsliding" by the Trump administration and that the US government would have to accept the ITC decision. The Democratic Unionist MP for Belfast East, Gavin Robinson, said he was "absolutely delighted". "It was an amazing result and a massive relief for the staff. The C-series is now ready for takeoff." Naomi Long, the Alliance party MLA for Belfast East, also welcomed the ruling. "I hope it is the end of the matter, which has been highly disruptive to Bombardier and extremely stressful for local employees of the company and those working in the supply chain. We need to ensure the organisation can now proceed with the construction and supply of one of the most innovative aircraft on the global market." Bombardier employs about 1,000 people in Belfast linked to the C-series, and about 4,000 people in total in Northern Ireland. The programme is also crucial to 15 smaller aerospace firms in the region which make components for the wings. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jan/26/bombardier-us-tariffs-imports-uk-trump-jobs- belfast Back to Top Cancel: 2018 ISASI Military Air Safety Workshop Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2018 ISASI Military Air Safety Workshop has been cancelled.
