The aircraft slowed safely, vacated the runway and stopped for a brakes inspection by emergency services. The aircraft was towed to the apron about 30 minutes later. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Mumbai about 24 hours after the rejected takeoff. The airline reported the flight was cancelled, the passengers were taken to hotels and have been rebooked onto the first available service to Zurich. http://avherald.com/h?article=4b76051a&opt=0 Back to Top Incident: Cathay Dragon A320 at Hong Kong on Apr 13th 2018, cabin pressure problems A Cathay Dragon Airbus A320-200, registration B-HSM performing flight KA-342 from Hong Kong (China) to Fukuoka (Japan), was climbing out of Hong Kong cleared to climb to FL210 when the crew requested and was cleared to stop the climb at FL180. About 5 minutes later the crew continued the climb but needed to initiate a rapid descent at about FL267 due to problems with the cabin pressure. The aircraft levelled off at 9000 feet, burned off fuel at 5000 feet and returned to Hong Kong for a safe landing on runway 07L about 95 minutes after departure. A replacement A320-200 registration B-HSI reached Fukuoka with a delay of about 5 hours. http://avherald.com/h?article=4b754dc0&opt=0 Back to Top Incident: Qantas A333 near Melbourne on Apr 14th 2018, loss of cabin pressure A Qantas Airbus A330-300, registration VH-QPF performing flight QF-568 from Perth,WA to Sydney,NS (Australia), was enroute at FL370 about 970nm northwest of Melbourne,VI (Australia) when the crew initiated an emergency descent to FL100 due to the loss of cabin pressure, the passenger oxygen masks were released. The crew was subsequently able to reset the air conditioning systems, climbed the aircraft to FL170 and diverted to Melbourne for a safe landing about 2:15 hours after leaving FL370. The airline reported the aircraft was unable to maintain cabin pressure, the passenger oxygen masks were released, the crew applied standard operating procedures and descended the aircraft to FL100. They were subsequently able to reset the air conditioning system. The aircraft diverted to Melbourne. The passengers have been rebooked onto the first services to Sydney available out of Melbourne. http://avherald.com/h?article=4b753958&opt=0 Back to Top Air China Airbus A321 diverted after passenger attempted to hijack the flight using a pen Date: Sunday 15 April 2018 Time: ca 09:40 Type: Airbus A321-213 Operator: Air China Registration: B-6555 C/n / msn: 3766 First flight: 2009-01-13 (9 years 3 months) Engines: 2 CFMI CFM56-5B2/3 Crew: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: Passengers: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: Total: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: Airplane damage: None Location: Zhengzhou-Xinzheng International Airport (CGO) ( China) Phase: En route (ENR) Nature: Domestic Scheduled Passenger Departure airport: Changsha-Huanghua Airport (CSX/ZGHA), China Destination airport: Beijing-Capital Airport (PEK/ZBAA), China Flightnumber: CA1350 Narrative: Air China flight CA1350 took off from Changsha, China at 08:41 hours local time on a domestic flight to Beijing.

Back to Top Navy: Training jet flew too low -- for thrills -- before crash The Navy is citing pilot error for a military training jet crash in Tennessee that killed the two aboard, saying it was being flown for thrills and too low. Navy officials said in a report the T-45C Goshawk was flying below allowable altitudes last October when it plunged into a forest near Tellico Plains. The report was emailed Saturday to The Associated Press, which requested it under the Freedom of Information Act. The crash killed 31-year-old instructor Lt. Patrick Ruth from Metairie, Louisiana, and 25-year-old student pilot Lt. j.g. Wallace Burch from Horn Lake, Mississippi. Both were stationed at Naval Air Station Meridian in Mississippi. The flight originated from McGee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee. The report cited a "culture" within the individual training unit and Naval air training at large that allowed pilots to fly "beyond the bounds" of approved Naval Air Training Command curriculum. It also said leadership failed to ensure training operations adhered to approved publications. Ruth "was overly confident, nonchalant, and aggressive at low altitude training, with limited awareness of the performance capabilities" of the aircraft during the low-altitude awareness training flight, the report said. Ruth's attitude "conditioned (Burch) to fly the aircraft in an aggressive manner, without correction" from Ruth. The report said Ruth exceeded approved training curriculum, including aggressive ridgeline crossings and descending turns that went below the minimum altitude of 500 feet (150 meters). Shortly before the crash, Ruth told Burch they would "deviate from the direct line" of the approved training route in order to follow terrain. Ruth started a descending turn to demonstrate terrain-following techniques, then instructed Burch to make a hard right turn. But the plane was going too slow and too low relative to the rising terrain ahead, the report said. "In response to their maneuvers, the aircraft entered into a stall," it added. By the time the crew realized the situation, it was too late to safely eject, according to the report. The Navy said it has since conducted an audit to ensure instructor pilots have completed training requirements. http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/navy-training-jet-flew-low-thrills-crash-54486867 Back to Top Back to Top AAIC Nepal: US-Bangla Dash 8 in Kathmandu crash touched down long, went off the side of the runway A preliminary report by the Aircraft Accidents Investigation Commission of Nepal detailed the accident sequence of the US-Bangla Dash 8 that crashed at Kathmandu. US-Bangla Airlines flight BS211, a DHC-8-Q400 (S2-AGU), crashed after landing at Kathmandu-Tribhuvan Airport, Nepal on March 12, 2018. The AAIC report does not detail the details preceding the accident. The flight was cleared for an approach to runway 02 but the aircraft failed to land and instead continued on runway heading, performing an orbit and requesting an approach and landing on runway 20. The preliminary report starts by saying that "the aircraft touched down at about 1700 meters down the threshold and on the left portion of centerline of Runway 20." The aircraft then went off the left side of the runway, ran through the inner perimeter fence of the airport area, moved down along rough downslope and finally stopped at about 442 meters from its initial touch down point. At this point, the aircraft caught fire and was completely destroyed. A fire erupted. A total of 22 passengers initially survived the accident. Two later died of their injuries.

Delta Air Lines will adjust its extensive in-house maintenance prognostics capabilities to accomodate its newest-generation aircraft, which offer much more data and diagnostics than the aging models that helped drive the effort. Delta, an early adopter of predictive analytics, says the program has played a major role in helping the airline reduce service interruptions. In the 12 months ended March 31, proactive maintenance actions have helped avoid more than 1,200 delays, cancellations or service interruptions, Delta President of MRO Services Jack Arehart told attendees at the recent MRO Americas conference. The effort was borne out of Delta's desire to improve its operation while operating one of the industry's oldest fleets. The carrier uses a team of data scientists, maintenance engineers and certified mechanics to mine data, spot trends and examine parts. It analyzes data from thousands of parts, often using information captured in tools such as Boeing's Aircraft Health Management database to gain a better understanding of a part's status just before it failed. It then develops "bands" for certain parameters, and uses those bands as indicators of when to pull parts, regardless of whether fault messages or other indicators of imminent failure are also present. It then tears every part down, even if it passes bench tests after it's pulled. The majority of the time, the teardown unveils damage within the part that would have led to a failure. "The part is telling us something," Arehart says. "We enter what we learned into the system. When the part gets into the [data] band that we've prescribed, we pull it, 100% of the time." The process, developed over several years, requires some creativity. Its data-crunching arsenal includes monitoring tools from several OEMs, including Boeing, Airbus and GE. But the core of Delta's 868-aircraft fleet, including Boeing 717s, MD-80s, MD-90s, 757s, and 767s, were designed long before data-extraction became a must-have feature. The carrier is now taking delivery of newer models, including Airbus A350s and, later this year, its first Bombardier CS100s. Arehart says the airline will adapt its prognostics efforts to the new models, which provide much more opportunity to collect data and gain real-time insight into an aircraft's status. "This is evolving," Arehart says of the carrier's program. "It is something we had to go to for a subset of our fleet. Now we're learning how to do it on newer aircraft." Arehart credits several elements for making Delta's program successful. The carrier is diligent about removing parts when the data says so, regardless of what conventional alerting or monitoring systems say. Greeted with skepticism at the outset, Delta now has 95% confidence in what its data says, meaning a good part is pulled only 5% of the time. The carrier also ensures that everyone in the process both understands the logic behind the effort and is looped in on results. "Whenever a part is removed, we go back to the mechanic and tell him the story of what was happening, what was found, and whether it was a good pull," Arehart says. http://www.mro-network.com/big-data/deltas-maintenance-prognostics-will-continue-newest-aircraft Back to Top FAA Could Put a Massive Hurt on Boeing 787 This Week The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is expected to issue a new airworthiness directive (AD) this week that could severely limit the flight operations of Boeing Co.'s (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner. The problem revolves around a continuing issue with the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines that power about 25% of the 787's customer fleets. The FAA's AD is expected to slash the long-range operations of the R-R-powered 787s by more than half and possibly by as much as 80%. Last Friday the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued an AD for all R-R-powered 787s requiring more inspections and limiting the plane's operation to a distance of no more than 60-minutes flying time from the nearest airport. The R-R engines have suffered from corrosion problems with the turbine's fan blades for a couple of years now. All Nippon Airways (ANA) was forced to cancel flights in August of 2016 to replace the fan blades. ANA also said at the time that it could take three years to correct the problem fully. The Japanese carrier was the launch customer for Boeing's 787 and currently has 64 787s in its fleet. In addition to more frequent engine inspections, the FAA is likely to reduce or suspend the R-R-powered 787s' "Extended-range Twin-engine Operations," known in the industry as ETOPS. Prior to about 2007, a twin-engine aircraft could not operate more than 60-minutes away from a diversionary airport due to the possibility of an engine failure. The new, more powerful engines could qualify for extended operations that would allow the aircraft to fly up to 330 minutes from a safe landing location. The following illustration from aviation.stackexchange.com illustrates what this means. On a flight from New York's JFK airport to London's Heathrow, an aircraft with a 60-minute ETOPS rating would have to follow the dogleg path while a plane with a 120-minute ETOPS could fly the straight line path. Source: aviationstackexchange.com A 330-minute ETOPS means a twin-engine plane like the 787 could fly as much as 5.5 hours away from the nearest airport because a single engine is capable of powering the aircraft for that long in the event one engine failed and the plane had to be diverted from its original destination. That is virtually anyplace on the globe outside a few places in Antarctica. According to a report from Leeham News, the FAA's expected AD will require more inspections of the 787s and limit the ETOPS to 140 minutes. The inspections need to be completed by May 20 - the same date required by EASA. If an engine fails the inspections, the ETOPS on that plane could be reduced to 60 minutes. Boeing has apparently begun to divert some of the R-R engines that would have been installed on new 787s rolling off the production line to customers with planes that have been grounded due to problems with previous versions of the engines. The financial impact on Rolls-Royce likely will be greater than the impact on Boeing. In early March the engine maker said it would be paying $315 million for repairs to the Trent 1000 and 900 model engines. R-R has said that up to 500 of the affected Trent 1000 engines will be taken out of service and repaired between now and 2022. If airlines are forced to wait for new 787s, however, that will have an impact on Boeing's deliveries and cash flow. Some airlines may be forced to modify their flight paths or switch to another airplane if the ETOPS on the engines is reduced. That most likely means leasing planes and even crews, an unexpected expense that the airlines will want to recover from Rolls-Royce or Boeing or both. https://247wallst.com/aerospace-defense/2018/04/15/faa-could-put-a-massive-hurt-on-boeing-787-this-week/ Back to Top Business Aviation Safety Summit to Feature Year-in-Review, Exhibitor Demos In response to attendee demand, the 2018 Business Aviation Safety Summit (BASS) - which will be hosted by Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) in partnership with NBAA May 10-11 in Chicago, IL - will reintroduce the popular year-in-review session, a discussion of the previous year's aviation accidents and incidents led by FSF President and CEO Jon Beatty. The 63rd annual edition of BASS - a forum for the business aviation industry to meet in a collaborative setting to identify safety concerns and develop risk-mitigation methods - will also include a new feature: exhibit hall demo presentations, which will give attendees an opportunity to learn about new products and services. Frank Jackman, FSF's vice president of communications, said the foundation is pleased to re-establish the year-in-review session in response to attendee feedback and requests. The BASS 2018 keynote address will be presented by Tom Costello, a correspondent at NBC News and a frequent reporter on aviation events. Also, the NTSB will review a recent accident that occurred at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport (TEB). "BASS brings together safety experts of a wide range of subjects germane to business aviation operations from a safety prospective," said Jackman. More than a dozen education sessions will focus on fatigue risk management, organizational culture, loss of control and many other topics relevant to business aviation safety. "We want attendees to return to their flight departments with actions, not theory," continued Jackman. "This philosophy is the aim of the BASS Agenda Development Committee each year."

Airbus A-380 plane (Reuters file photo)Airbus A-380 plane (Reuters file photo) NEW DELHI: No Indian airline has the world's largest commercial airliner - Airbus A-380 - but over 60 desi pilots are flying the mega plane in the fleets of foreign carriers. While airlines rarely disclose nationality-wise break-up of their cockpit crew, a few airlines operating the A-380 have said highly professional Indian pilots are flying the world's most expensive plane for them. Dubai-based Emirates, which is the largest operator of this aircraft, has 133 Indian pilots in all of which almost half fly the A-380. "We have 57 Indian A380 pilots and in total we have 133 pilots from India. Overall we have more than 4,000 pilots," said an Emirates spokesperson. Neighbouring Abu Dhabi-based Etihad has shifted five Indian pilots who used to fly their Airbus planes in its fleet like the 320, 330 and 340 to the A-380. The airline said it has one Indian commander and four first officers flying the A-380. Overall, Indian pilots comprise 6% of the total cockpit crew of Etihad. Singapore Airlines, also a big operator of the mega plane, said it does not have any Indian pilot operating its A-380 and German carrier Lufthansa said it did not have "statistics in place that would give details about nationalities of the respective aircraft type". According to the Airbus website, the average list price of an A-380 in 2018 is $ 445.6 million (about Rs 2,910 crore). The salary for flying big birds is also mouth-watering. The Emirates career website says the total monthly salary (tax free with accommodation allowance included) is 44,450 UAE Dirham or AED (about Rs 7.9 lakh) for first officers on Boeing 777 and A-380. For captains, this figure goes up to 58,770 AED (about Rs 10.5 lakh). "While in overall terms, the salary may not seem too high compared to what pilots earn in India. But being tax free makes it really big for us," said an Indian pilot working with a domestic airline. Indian airlines have to struggle to prevent their experienced pilots from being "poached" by Gulf carriers. While the ideal way to do is letting market forces determine where one wants to work by offering competitive remuneration, citing frail financial health Indian carriers got the DGCA to increase notice period for commanders from six months to a year last August. Domestic airlines matching post-tax salaries of India with tax-free ones in UAE is impossible for them. "No one is going to wait for a year if they want to hire us," rued an Indian commander. This tug-off-war shows just how highly rated Indian pilots are. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/indian-pilots-soar-high-over-60-flying-the-worlds-largest-commercial-plane-a-380/articleshow/63778667.cms? Back to Top Global 7000 claims longest range title for business jets Bombardier will claim the title of building the longest-range, purpose-built business jet when the Global 7000 programme enters service later this year. New flight test data confirms that the 48,200kg (106,300lb) jet can travel 7,700nm while cruising at Mach 0.85 with eight passengers, Bombardier says. The data shows that the Global 7000 beats Bombardier's original estimate of 7,400nm range under the same conditions. More importantly, the updated specification sheet means the Global 7000 now flies farther than its nearest competitor. Gulfstream advertises the Gulfstream G650ER with a maximum range of 7,500nm with eight passengers and a M0.85 cruise speed. For the Global 7000, the improvement puts new cities in range. The original specification allowed the Global 7000 to fly from New York City to Shanghai without refueling, factoring in head-winds and standard NBAA fuel reserves. The updated range means the jet can reach Hong Kong from New York City, Bombardier says. Passengers also can fly non-stop from Singapore to San Francisco. The range also means Bombardier must review the performance of the Global 8000. Bombardier introduced the proposed concept for the Global 8000 with a top range of 7,900nm, or only 200nm farther than its slightly smaller sister aircraft. The future of the Global 8000 has already been uncertain since Bombardier restructured the Global 7000/8000 schedule in 2015. The entry into service for the Global 7000 was delayed two years to 2018 during the restructuring. But Bombardier withheld setting a new schedule for delivering the first Global 8000, saying the company would revisit the programme after completing development of the Global 7000. Bombardier's flight test campaign has surpassed 1,800h on the Global 7000, moving the aircraft closer to certification and first delivery. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/global-7000-claims-longest-range-title-for-business-447705/ Back to Top Back to Top Back to Top Air Safety Investigation Professional Education Course TU Delft University Are you interested in understanding the process behind an air safety investigation?
