The phone began to emit smoke prompting cabin crew to discharge a total of 4 fire extinguishers onto the phone. The aircraft continued for a safe landing in Guam. The airline reported it was not a problem with the mobile phone itself, but the fact that the phone became squeezed in the seat. The aircraft became delayed for more than 15 hours in Guam due to the requirement of 7 working fire extinguishers on board. The discharged fire extinguishers could not be replaced locally, therefore a complement of fire extinguishers had to be sent to Guam before the aircraft could depart with 265 passengers on the return flight KE-112 arriving in Seoul with a delay of 15.5 hours. http://avherald.com/h?article=4bce8499&opt=0 Back to Top Back to Top Incident: Delta MD88 at Pensacola on Aug 25th 2018, engine failure A Delta Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-88, registration N911DL performing flight DL-2179 from Pensacola,FL to Atlanta,GA (USA), was in the initial climb out of Pensacola's runway 08 when the crew stopped the climb at 2000 feet due to an engine (JT8D) failure.

US-Bangla Airlines flight 211 crashed while attempting to land at Kathmandu Airport, following a flight from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The initial approach to runway 02 was aborted and the aircraft maneuvered for an approach to runway 20. The aircraft touched down at about 1700 meters past the threshold and to the left of the centerline of runway 20. The aircraft then ran off the left side of the runway, went through the inner perimeter fence of the airport area, moved down along a rough down slope and finally stopped at about 442 meters southeast from its initial touchdown point. A fire erupted. Fifty-one of the 71 occupants were killed. The Kathmandu Post published a story on August 27, 2018, purportedly based on a draft of the final accident investigation report. The newspaper states that the captain of the flight was going through tremendous personal mental stress and anxiety. He showed erratic behaviour and seemed to be fatigued and tired due to lack of sleep. During the flight he was crying on several occasions. During the final approach, he lit a cigarette and continued non-pertinent conversation with the first officer. https://news.aviation-safety.net/2018/08/27/kathmandu-post-captain-in-fatal-dash-8-accident-showed-stressed-and-erratic-behaviour-on-flight/ Back to Top Back to Top Bombardier Safety Standdown Registration Now Open Bombardier Business Aircraft opened registration late last week for its 22nd annual Safety Standdown, which will be held October 30 to November 1 in Wichita.

He served in Vietnam, becoming a POW after his aircraft was shot down, and later held office in Congress for 36 years. Sen. McCain passed away on August 25, 2018. (Photo: McCain Family) The business and general aviation industry lost a staunch ally and equally formidable foe with the passing of Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) on Saturday, August 25, at the age of 81 after battling brain cancer for more than a year. The decorated Vietnam War veteran who ran in the 2008 presidential election had served in the U.S. Senate for 32 years after a four-year stint in the House of Representatives. He was known for his strong independent streak and often referred to as a maverick. He brought this style to his stewardship of aviation issues as a leader of the Senate aviation subcommittee and then of the full Commerce Committee, which he steered for well more than a decade as chairman and ranking member, beginning in 1997. McCain, who completed flight school in 1960 and flew fighters in the U.S. Navy, had a deep interest in aviation issues. He was a spirited advocate of general aviation product liability reform, becoming one of the driving forces in the General Aviation Revitalization Act of 1994. "Product liability has been the single greatest obstacle to the success and survival of the American light aircraft industry," he had told colleagues. Representing Arizona, he also paid attention to air-tour safety and the dispute surrounding operations over Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP). In the face of calls from numerous corners of the environmental community for restrictions and/or bans of operators over GNCP, he brokered a compromise with a measure that allowed for reasonable restriction but also recognized the contributions of the use of quiet technologies in air tour helicopters. At the same time, he sometimes was at odds with the industry, particularly over his stance that business aviation should pay user fees. In his usual up-front manner, he had expressed a sentiment that corporate "fat cat friends" fly in business jets and "pay nothing." He held a hearing during the September 1995 NBAA Convention that was being held in Las Vegas. As a result, then NBAA president Jack Olcott and then GAMA president Ed Stimpson were forced to make a quick return to Washington, D.C., to testify in what proved to be a difficult hearing. While McCain pushed for fees on business aviation, he was clear that recreational aviation should be exempt. When AOPA weighed in against user fees, the dispute became almost on a personal level with McCain then questioning the proposed appointment of then AOPA president Phil Boyer to the FAA management advisory council. McCain had pushed for air traffic control organization reform, arguing, "The limits of our overstretched air traffic control [ATC] system have become painfully apparent over the last few years." The business and general aviation community ultimately prevailed and a decade later McCain-who despite his support of the user fees had remained a business and general aviation advocate-had somewhat shifted his position. In 2011 he joined 11 other senators who had signed on to a letter urging former President Barack Obama to drop a proposal for a $100 per flight fee on general aviation. "While we agree that the deficit must be reduced, increasing taxes on corporate jets and other GA aircraft will only further stifle economic recovery," the letter had stated, pointing out that the industry employs 1.2 million people and generates $150 billion in economic activity. Aviation was a passion shared with McCain's widow, Cindy McCain, who was a private pilot and had flown her husband around Arizona during some of his campaigns. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2018-08-27/mccain-brought-spirited-advocacy-controversy-bizav Back to Top 5 Saudi female pilots get GACA license Riyadh - The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has issued five licenses for Saudi female pilots permitting them to work as captains on Saudi Arabian Airlines aircraft. The issuance of licenses to Saudi women is part of GACA's move to empower Saudi women to work in the aviation sector which is one of the objectives of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). A large number of women were recently employed in GACA and in service providing companies in technical fields. http://saudigazette.com.sa/article/542074/SAUDI-ARABIA/5-Saudi-female-pilots-get-GACA-license Back to Top Boeing Forecasts Greatest Demand for Pilots, Technicians, Cabin Crew in Asia Pacific Region - Over the next 20 years, the region will account for more than one-third of global demand SINGAPORE, Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] reports that the Asia Pacific region will have the greatest global demand for new civil aviation personnel over the next 20 years. The region is projected to account for 33 percent of the global need for pilots, 34 percent for technicians and 36 percent for cabin crew. The 2018 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook is an industry forecast of new aviation personnel demand. It is closely tied to projections for new airplane deliveries around the globe. As with personnel demand, the Asia Pacific region leads demand for new commercial airplane deliveries over the next 20 years. Forty percent of all new passenger airplane deliveries in the next 20 years will be delivered to airlines in the Asia Pacific region. According to the outlook: The 20-year demand for new commercial sector pilots in the region remains strong at 240,000. While demand decreased five percent, this was driven by regional trends that indicate a peak in pilot retirements in the first decade of the forecast and a softening of replacement demand in the later years, due to a younger generation entering the pilot ranks long before reaching mandatory retirement age. New commercial technician demand decreased five percent to 242,000. This is due to advancements in product development on the 737 MAX, which have resulted in increased maintenance efficiencies. Overall, maintenance hours required over the life of the airplane will be reduced. New commercial cabin crew demand increased three percent to 317,000 due to anticipated fleet mix, cabin configuration and regulatory requirements. For the first time, the outlook included the helicopter and business aviation markets. The inclusion of these sectors increases the region's demand to 261,000 pilots, 257,000 technicians and 321,000 cabin crew. Leading the region in projected demand for new pilots, technicians and cabin crew: China: 128,500 pilots; 126,750 technicians; 147,250 cabin crew Southeast Asia: 48,500 pilots; 54,000 technicians; 76,250 cabin crew South Asia: 42,750 pilots; 35,000 technicians; 43,250 cabin crew "Strong demand for pilots in the region continues, and we expect that this will continue for the next several years," said Keith Cooper, vice president of Training & Professional Services for Boeing Global Services. "Through our pilot training solutions, including the Pilot Development Program, we are helping to ensure a pipeline of pilots is ready to meet the industry's demand." Boeing's Pilot Development program is an accelerated training program intended to guide pilots from early stage ab-initio training through type rating as a first officer.

I am writing my thesis on automation trust and reliance and have prepared a research survey questionnaire. The link to the survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RYWG3JH The objective of this thesis is to better understand if automation trust and perception differs by age. Obtaining a better understanding of how trust varies by age will enable a closer examination of any side effects, specifically complacency. Additionally, this survey will enable additional exploration of the pilot's role in the aircraft depending on if perception of automation has changed. To be eligible to complete this survey, you must be over the age of 18 and at least hold a student pilot certificate. This questionnaire should not take longer than five minutes to complete and is both anonymous and confidential. Should you choose to participate, please take a minute to read the informed consent form linked to the first survey question. Thank you so much for your time.
