The aircraft climbed to 3000 feet and entered a hold for about 20 minutes while the crew were working the related checklists. The crew was finally able to lock the landing gear down and landed safely on Fort de France's runway 10 about 35 minutes after the go around. The airport reported the aircraft could not lower the landing gear, emergency services deployed and prepared for a possible (partial) gear up landing. The aircraft remained in a hold near the airport for a long time until the crew was able to solve the issue. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Fort de France about 15 hours after landing. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport currently estimates the aircraft will arrive with a delay of about 20 hours completing the final leg of rotation SE-1670 (CDG-PTP-FDF-CDG) from Fort de France to Paris CDG. The airline reported the flight from Fort de France to Paris is being delayed due to a technical fault on a hydraulic system on the flight fro Pointe a Pitre to Fort de France, which prompted the captain to apply the operational procedures and tests as required by Airbus. The aircraft landed safely and was towed to the apron. http://avherald.com/h?article=4bdc2f63&opt=0 Back to Top Incident: Virgin Atlantic B744 near Gander on Sep 15th 2018, cargo fire detection fault A Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400, registration G-VROY performing flight VS-128 from New York JFK,NY (USA) to Manchester,EN (UK), was enroute at FL340 about 170nm northeast of Gander,NL (Canada) when the crew decided to return to New York JFK advising a cargo fire detection system had shown a fault.

Air Guilin is a Chinese airline, based at Guilin Liangjiang International Airport. It started operating flights in 2016 and currently uses 3 Airbus A319-100 aircraft and 8 Airbus A320-200s. The IOSA programme is an evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognised quality audit principles and is designed to conduct audits in a standardised and consistent manner. It was created in 2003 by IATA. All IATA members are IOSA registered and must remain registered to maintain IATA membership. https://news.aviation-safety.net/2018/09/16/air-guilin-passes-iata-safety-audit/ Back to Top Tigerair Australia grounded plane over botched maintenance work Budget airline Tigerair Australia grounded one of its jets for three weeks last month after it flew back to Australia from maintenance work in the Philippines with serious undetected faults. The incident has prompted parent company Virgin Australia to end all maintenance work at the facility owned by Singapore Airlines - which owns 20 per cent of Virgin - and has raised questions about Tigerair's and the air safety regulator's oversight of offshore maintenance work. Tigerair discovered the fault when the plane landed back in Melbourne. Tigerair flew one of its three Boeing 737s to Clark International Airport near the Filipino city of Angeles on July 17 to undergo heavy maintenance work. The jet returned to Melbourne with only crew on board two weeks later, on July 31, and Tigerair engineers discovered that a modification to the plane's cargo bay smoke evacuation system had been installed incorrectly. The work was akin to the skills of a "home handyman", according to Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association federal secretary Steve Purvinas, with unsecured components and wires connected to the wrong terminals. Advertisement The fault required extensive repair work followed by testing, which meant the jet was sitting idle in Melbourne for three weeks and forced the airline - which only has 15 planes - to cancel some services. Another fault was discovered before the plane's first service flight on August 22, when crew found a flight attendant's seatbelt was not properly bolted to the seat. The airline said "What concerns us most is other latent defects, hidden now, but waiting to resurface at 30,000 feet," Mr Purvinas said. "They didn't know about the seatbelts - what else don't they know?" Tigerair's head of engineering Rob Furber said the company had conducted an "extensive review" of the work done in the Philippines both before and after the aircraft returned to service. "Tigerair has stringent safety management and standard operating procedures in place," Mr Furber said. The faulty workmanship was done by Singapore Airlines, which owns 20 per cent of Virgin Australia. "The safety of our aircraft, passengers and crew is always our highest priority and will never be compromised." The plane did not take any passengers before the fault was discovered and fixed, the airline said. Tigerair found out about the smoke extractor defect when it was investigating a fault in the cockpit flight recording system, which led engineers to discover the botched wiring. Tigerair's two other 737s have undergone work at Singapore Airlines' Philippines facility since June, and the Virgin Group has been using the facility for close to two years, but that relationship has been ended after the deficient work carried out on the aircraft. Aviation analysts and consultant Neil Hansford said the incident raised questions about Tigerair's oversight of its offshore maintenance. "If there was an [Tiger] engineer there, he should lose his licence," he said. "This is the sort of stuff that would cause CASA, if it had balls, to review the engineering approvals of the airline." Overseas maintenance providers need to be certified by Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority, and the regulator told Fairfax Media it was aware of the "maintenance matters" at Tigerair. CASA was working with the airline and the provider, SIA Engineering Philippines (SIAEP), to "ensure that the high standards of Australian aviation safety are maintained", a spokeswoman said. The SIAEP facility was due to be audited by CASA this year, and the authority has conducted three on-site audits there since 2014, she said. But Mr Purvinas, from the engineers' union, said CASA had recently moved to a new system that used a computer algorithm to determine when a provider should be audited, which had resulted in fewer checks. CASA said it was on track to deliver an overall annual increase of surveillance and associated oversight activities this year. A spokeswoman for SIAEP said the company was "working closely with Tigerair Australia to understand the issues reported on one of their Boeing 737 aircraft". "SIAEC has performed 10 maintenance checks this year on other Tigerair Australia aircraft at our Philippines facilities, all of which have been completed to the highest standards," she said. In 2011, before Virgin bought the airline from its Singaporean owners, CASA grounded the entire Tiger Airways fleet for more then five weeks over lax safety standards. It is common for airlines to send their aircraft offshore or to third parties for maintenance. Qantas, for instance, does some of its wide-body heavy maintenance at its own facility in Los Angeles, and at a third-party facility in Hong Kong. The Virgin Group has been loss-making for six consecutive years and its Tigerair division has been particularly challenged, running at a $24 million loss last year. Tigerair is in the process of converting its 15-strong fleet from Airbus to Boeing aircraft. https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/tigerair-australia-grounded-plane-over-botched-maintenance-work-20180911-p502zm.html Back to Top Red Signal: Laser lights growing hazard to aviation safety (India) A seemingly harmless decoration essential - the laser light - has become a rising safety concern for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Interference caused by the piercing shaft of light, often emanating from an outdoor wedding or social function, is a safety hazard during take-off and landing of aircraft. A total of 39 cases of laser interferences have been reported in Mumbai and Delhi airports in the recent past, DGCA says. The observations were made in its National Aviation Safety Plan for 2018-2022, recently opened to the public. DGCA says aiming a laser at an aircraft, especially during approach and landing, could jeopardise safety of passengers. It can lead to temporary vision loss or obstruction of sight of the flight crew in those crucial moments.DGCA hopes public awareness will stop such occurrences. "We have issued civil aviation requirements for laser emissions but they are still reported," said an official. "At times, laser lights are intentionally pointed at the runway, or are emitted from a wedding or social function in the area." There have been instances of laser interference from areas, such as Ghatkopar in Mumbai, that lie in the flight pathway. "Use of laser is not banned or restricted, but pointing it to an aircraft is not permissible," said a Mumbai Police officer, "and one can be booked for it. However, no such cases have been reported to us recently." So grave is the hazard that a chapter in the recently-published National Aviation Safety Plan 2018-2022 is dedicated to emerging safety issues which lists civil drones, communication error, laser interferences and threat due to ground handling services as emerging areas of concerns from safety point of view. DGCA advises, in its report, to monitor the emerges seriousness of this issue. "All aerodrome operators need to maintain and report the data of such interferences," DGCA says. An action plan will be devised on the basis of this data. https://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-red-signal-laser-lights-growing-hazard-to-aviation-safety-2663677 Back to Top Singapore Airlines flight grounded: Passengers tell of near miss as pilot fails breath test OUTRAGED passengers have slammed Singapore Airlines for a "clear lie" after the pilot allegedly failed a random breath test in Melbourne. Singapore Airlines Investigates Claims Staff Were Rude to Passengers on Delayed Calcutta-Bound Flight A PASSENGER aboard a Melbourne to Wellington flight says he was lied to by airline staff about the condition of a pilot who failed a random breath test. Singapore Airlines flight SQ247 was scheduled to fly from Melbourne to Wellington on Saturday morning about 6am. Passengers had boarded the Boeing 777 and were preparing to take off when an announcement from the flight deck revealed there was a problem. Muteki, who did not want his surname revealed, told news.com.au passengers were told that a crew member was "under the weather". "My impression was that they were sick. Then 15 minutes later they said it was the captain. All the communication was that the pilot was 'sick' or 'not in the condition to fly'. Later, when I spoke to airline staff, they told me the pilot had eaten something bad. "That was a clear lie." On Twitter, Muteki wrote: "Care to explain why your captain (i.e most experienced person on the aircraft) waits until boarding time to decide they're too ill/drunk to fly?" Singapore Airlines spokesman Karl Schubert confirmed the flight had been cancelled because "an operating crew member was deemed unfit to fly". "Civil Aviation Safety Authority officials undertook a random drug and alcohol test of all crew prior to them starting their pre-flight checks," Mr Schubert said. "The pilot in question did not pass the test due to having a higher than suitable blood alcohol limit. The pilot in question was stood down and has been suspended from all duties effective immediately. The flight was emptied because the pilot couldn't fly. "He has returned to Singapore where a full investigation will be undertaken. We will also work closely with the Australian and Singaporean authorities to ensure they are supplied the information they require." Muteki had intended to fly to Wellington for the All Blacks clash against South Africa. He begged airline staff to book him on another flight on Saturday, and even offered to pay more. He spent the night at an airport hotel and said he was "gutted". But he also said he was relieved at the near miss. "It's actually really scary. It's a large aircraft. I spoke to others before the second flight and we were all pretty happy we didn't fly. "Who knows what would've happened." Passengers who weren't able to fly on Saturday were booked on another flight on Sunday. They were offered a breakfast voucher but Muteki said a lunch voucher at an airport hotel was not honoured because the hotel ran out of food. Saturday's drama follows claims Singapore Airlines staff were rude to passengers on a delayed flight in June. SQ516 from Singapore to Kolkata experienced technical issues on June 8 and was delayed for almost three hours. Passenger Chandni Doulatramani posted to Facebook a claim that she and other passengers were treated badly by staff. She shared a video showing passengers becoming increasingly frustrated at the delay and leaving their seats despite being told to stay seated. "When we confronted the cabin crew, they had no answers, rudely shut us up, threatened to call the cops to arrest us, and said, 'We are in the same situation as you are, don't ask us, we don't know anything'," she said. https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/singapore-airlines-flight-grounded-passengers-tell-of-near-miss-as-pilot-fails-breath-test/news-story/6693baebdc23d443e86e6538b577a46b Back to Top Virgin to use eco-friendly jet fuel on commercial flight this October It's a step toward greener air travel. Virgin Atlantic is about conduct a real-world test of its greener jet fuel. The airline plans to use LanzaTech's sustainable fuel for the first time in a commercial flight this October, with a Boeing 747 relying on the low-carbon liquid for a trip from Orlando to London's Gatwick airport. The journey will both "raise awareness" for the more environmentally friendly technology and show that it's viable for more than just experimental flights. As before, LanzaTech's particular approach to jet fuel helps the planet both through its composition and how it's obtained. The company captures waste gas from steel mills and converts it into an ethanol that puts up to 65 percent less carbon into the atmosphere. It's not only reducing the immediate impact of the fuel, it's cutting pollution at the mills. You'll have to be patient if you want to see airlines adopting this on a wide basis. While the fuel should be "competitive" with conventional options, there's still some work to be done before it's useful for airlines around the globe -- and even then, it's only estimated to produce "nearly one fifth" of aviation fuel used in a given year. Nonetheless, it could be important for reducing the impact of airliners until electric aircraft are good enough to start replacing existing fleets. https://www.engadget.com/2018/09/15/virgin-sustainable-jet-fuel-flight/ Back to Top Mitsubishi jet developer to raise $1.8bn to tackle excess debt • Proceeds will go partly toward the goal of making 2020 delivery Delay after delay and ballooning costs have left the Mitsubishi Regional Jet's developer with a sizable negative net worth. © Kyodo TOKYO -- The company behind the Mitsubishi Regional Jet aims to increase its capital by about 200 billion yen ($1.79 billion) to eliminate its negative net worth and fund the project, seeking a firm footing as it gears up to deliver the first plane in mid-2020. Mitsubishi Aircraft would seek the funds largely from parent Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in order to pay it back. About 120 billion yen of the fresh capital would go toward paying down debt to Mitsubishi Heavy under a method similar to a debt-for-equity swap, with the parent paying the unit cash that then goes toward debt repayment. The other 80 billion yen would go toward development and other costs. The MRJ developer, headquartered in Japan's Aichi Prefecture, aims to eliminate its negative net worth this fiscal year. It finished the year ended March with 110 billion yen in debts in excess of assets -- more than double the previous year's figure. Mitsubishi Heavy owns more than 60% of its consolidated subsidiary, which has about 100 billion yen in capital including reserves. Details including how the capital increase will be divided between Mitsubishi Heavy and other major shareholders, such as Toyota Motor and trading house Mitsubishi Corp., have yet to be settled. No new shareholders are expected to be added. The MRJ made its first air show demonstration flight in the U.K. this July. Delivery has been repeatedly postponed. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/Mitsubishi-jet-developer-to-raise-1.8bn-to-tackle-excess-debt Back to Top In less than a month, delegates and speakers from across the aviation, safety, energy, insurance and legal will gather in Texas to discuss the latest in safety best practices and knowledge at the 14th CHC Safety & Quality Summit.
