(AP) - A worker at Southern California's John Wayne Airport was killed when a large tire from a jet bridge used to connect terminals to aircraft doors exploded during maintenance, officials said Wednesday. Two contract employees were in a workshop disassembling the tire when the explosion happened late Tuesday, said airport spokeswoman Deanne Thompson. The blast set off a fire alarm that summoned airfield rescue crews. "One of the men sustained fatal injuries due to the force of the explosion," Thompson said. He died at the scene. The other worker did not seek treatment. The state's workplace safety agency, known as Cal-OSHA, will investigate. The agency didn't immediately return a call and an email requesting more information. Thompson said tires of that size - about 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter - are under "enormous" pressure. She said both employees worked for JBT Aero Tech Services, a company that maintains the Orange County airport's jet bridges and luggage handling system. Jet bridges are the moveable passenger-loading structures that connect terminals to airliner doors. JBT didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment. No airport operations were affected. https://www.apnews.com/e1fc1b03805b467b8f2f3cd73c4be9e4 Back to Top Back to Top Director, ICAO Liaison International Business Aviation Council Work Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) is searching for a Director to lead its principal office at the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Back to Top Back to Top Southwest Airlines: Out Of Service Aircraft, Weather Prompt 180 Flight Cancellations DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A war of words erupted Tuesday night between Southwest Airlines and the airline's mechanics union, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association or AMFA. In a statement to CBS News Correspondent Kris Van Cleave, Southwest Airlines COO Mike Van de Ven accused AMFA of work disruptions and said that it is looking at potential remedies. In response, the AMFA said the airline was using the association as a scapegoat and is trying to divert attention from its safety issues. The dueling statements come after Southwest Airlines said it cancelled about 180 of its 4,000 flights Tuesday as more than twice the number of aircraft as normal had to be taken out of service for maintenance Tuesday. The airline said weather is also to blame, but much of the focus has been on maintenance. According to a Southwest spokeswoman, normally, up to 20 of their 750 aircraft are out of service each day for unscheduled repairs. But Tuesday, she said that number more than doubled. Since Friday, the airline has declared a State of Operational Emergency at various maintenance stations to make sure its mechanics scheduled to work come in so they can return jets into service as soon as possible. The airline has described the situation as "all hands on deck." On Tuesday, the company included its Dallas maintenance station. CBS News obtained a letter to the mechanics from a senior director of the airline's tech operations. It said, "...I'm declaring Dallas in a State of Operational Emergency effective 10:00 a.m. Central... This is not the type of communication I (or any Leader) want to issue, but it is necessary to get our aircraft back in service in order to serve our Customers." The mechanics union isn't happy the letter threatened termination. In response, Bret Oestreich, the National Director of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association or AMFA said, "I again have never heard of State of Operational Emergency in 28 years in aviation EVER..." The association director says after two incidents, one of them deadly last year, involving uncontained engine failures, the airline ordered numerous inspections of its engines. Oestreich said, "AMFA Aircraft Technicians and Inspectors completed roughly 9,000... engine fan blade inspections in 30 days... (there was no State of Operational Emergency)..." Last month, a CBS News investigation revealed that some of the airline's mechanics felt pressured to return jets to service faster. The uptick in maintenance write-ups for aircraft began last Friday. The mechanics union and airline have been negotiating a new contract for six and a half years, but union members said this is a separate issue than aircraft maintenance. Rebecca Hughes faced delays on Southwest getting home to Tampa from Dallas Love Field, but said she isn't sure why. "I'm trying to get back to Florida and my flight was delayed which would make me miss my connection in Houston." Southwest has said safety is it's top priority and that it's doing everything it can to keep its customers from being inconvenienced. Hughes said she's having to fly into a different airport to get home tonight. "It's an inconvenience more to my family who has to drive and come get me." The airline advises customers to check on their flight's status before they head to the airport. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2019/02/19/southwest-airlines-out-of-service-aircraft-weather-flight-cancellations/ Back to Top Mayo Aviation Renews ACSF Industry Audit Standard Registration The Air Charter Safety Foundation is pleased to announce that Mayo Aviation, Denver, CO has renewed its status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard Registry.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Layoffs are being planned at Mokulele Airlines, which was recently acquired by mainland carrier Southern Airways. The company said in a statement that it's "focused on right-sizing our operation for the long-term health and viability of our company going forward." While it wasn't immediately clear how many people would be laid off, Southern said "targeted layoffs of less than 10 percent of our entire workforce" were being planned. "We always regret losing loyal team members, but the air service marketplace in Hawaii is very competitive at the moment, and Mokulele is committed to being a permanent leader in our field," Southern Airways said. Southern Airways is well established in the Gulf South, mid-Atlantic and South Florida. Their fleet is comprised of Cessna planes, similar to those that Mokulele uses. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/02/20/new-owner-mokulele-airlines-plans-layoffs/ Back to Top British Airways May Buy Second Hand A380's To Replace Their 747's With the Airbus A380 set to retire in 2021, many have been saddened by the upcoming end of both the 747 and the A380 in passenger use around the world. But in an ironic twist of fate, it seems British Airways plans on snapping up as many A380s as possible to fuel their 747 replacement. What are the details? Whilst the last A380 will roll off the production line in 2021, the very first A380s are starting to be retired right now. Singapore recently retired four back to their leaseholder, one of which ended up as the new Hi Fly A380, two for spare parts (their engines are worth a fortune) and the last one vanished. This means there is coming oversupply of second-hand A380 aircraft entering the market (Six Air France A380s are expected to be retired late this year). News that could be a real boon for British Airways, who are in the midst of retiring their 747 fleet. By replacing their 747 aircraft with A380 aircraft until their newer jets come online in 2022 (18 Airbus A350-1000s, and 12 Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners) British Airways can ensure a smooth transition. And you can bet that these A380 aircraft will be way cheaper than renting/wet-leasing or extending the lifespan of the 747s. Why the A380? But why would British Airways want the A380 over say, a Boeing 777-300ER? What unique challenges does British Airways have that an A380 would useful? The first is British Airways' hub airport, London Heathrow. Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world, and as such, has no free slots for aircraft to land. The only way for an airline to increase capacity or maintain their capacity is a bigger aircraft like the A380. By using an A380 over a smaller aircraft, British Airways has more tickets to sell and their cost per seat would not go down. Additionally, British Airways already has 12 A380s in the fleet in service and has plenty of experience in utilizing the aircraft. They would not have to train new pilots, acquire new logistics or even find a new food supplier. Their current A380 infrastructure network could be expanded as each A380 is delivered. Plus, if British Airways starts to fight more competitively on routes against their rival Virgin Atlantic, the A380 might be their secret weapon. They might even acquire the extra capacity to simply deprive Virgin of the chance, who originally had the plane on order years ago. Lastly, if British Airways were to acquire some of the more premium versions of the A380, say for example the ones with the shower on board, that could be a killer advantage over any competition. https://simpleflying.com/british-airways-may-buy-second-hand-a380s-to-replace-their-747s/ Back to Top Boeing, Delta Air Lines could benefit from FAA decision on Vietnamese airlines A Federal Aviation Administration decision to open the door for Vietnamese airlines to establish passenger airline service to United States airports could give Boeing jet sales a boost, including its new 777X. The FAA decision, released late last week, granted Vietnam's aviation system a Category 1 rating, needed for flying to the U.S. It was a huge win for Boeing, which recognized Vietnam's emergence as an important airplane market 20 years ago and has since worked to develop the safety of Vietnam's aviation system, airlines and aerospace capabilities. Vietnamese airlines must still individually apply for FAA and Department of Transportation permissions before launching passenger service to U.S. cities or arranging ticket code sharing deals with U.S. airlines. Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman declined comment on the FAA decision or its importance to future Boeing airplane sales. But Ed Bastian, the CEO of Delta Airlines, told the Business Journal the FAA decision will help its South Asian partner Vietnam Airlines, a member of Delta's Sky Team airline alliance. "It's a good little airline. We're supporters of open skies and we think it's good to have the opportunity to expand," Bastian said. "We stand prepared to support them when they receive all the requisite clearances and approvals." Boeing has several customers in Vietnam that will need more airplanes to serve the fast-growing country with a growing thirst for travel. The first: Vietnam Airlines, which already operates 11 787-9 Dreamliners on international routes between Vietnam and Europe ( Paris and London) and some domestic routes. In 2015, Boeing and Vietnam Airlines signed a pilot-training agreement for its Dreamliners as well as what Boeing called "a memorandum of collaboration towards the goal of Vietnam Airlines' fleet replacement and expansion with Boeing airplanes." Boeing has offered to sell the carrier eight 777X widebodies. No order has been announced. The second: Bamboo Airways, which made a commitment in June 2018 to buy 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, a deal worth $5.6 billion at list prices. A Vietnamese startup airline, Bamboo Airways, has committed to buying to buy twenty Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners like this one as it prepares to launch international service from Hanoi. It paid deposits on the jets in mid-June. Bamboo is a Hanoi-based startup budget airline owned by billionaire Trinh Van Quyet. It received Vietnamese government permission to launch in October but no official order was announced. After the FAA decision, Bamboo said it's considering launching direct routes to Seattle, Los Angeles, or San Francisco in late 2020 or 2021. Bamboo's order followed a working visit to Vietnam by Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO and President Kevin McAllister in 2017. The Third: VietJet Air, another low-cost airline, ordered 100 Renton-made 737 Max 8 airplanes (the 200-seat version) in 2016, marking the single largest commercial airplane purchase in Vietnamese history. Vietjet is ordering 100 737 MAX 200 airplanes, the largest ever single commercial airplane purchase in Vietnam aviation. Former Vietnam President Tr?n Ð?i Quang and then U.S. President Barack Obama attended the signing. Last July at the Farnborough AirShow, VietJet committed to buying another 100 737 Maxes. That commitment hasn't become a full fledged order yet and won't until deposits are paid. Still, Boeing is working with VietJet to enhance its engineering expertise, pilot training, and management. https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2019/02/20/boeing-delta-air-lines-faa-decision-vietnamese.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo Back to Top What does it actually mean for a commercial plane to hit 801 mph? The jet stream propelled a 787 to super-fast speeds, but determining a plane's velocity is a complex matter. There's a difference between a plane's speed through the air and its speed compared to the ground. On Monday, a Boeing 787 operated by Virgin Atlantic hit an astounding ground speed: 801 miles per hour, the Washington Post reported. That's extraordinarily fast, and in fact, the plane reportedly landed early, a nice perk for everyone on board. But, at the same time, the aircraft was likely cruising at a typical speed for a commercial jet-and it definitely wasn't going 801 mph through the air up at 35,000 feet. That's because there's a big difference between a plane's airspeed and a plane's ground speed. In this case, the plane, traveling from Los Angeles to London, was propelled by incredibly strong tailwinds, thanks to the jet stream. So it was moving fast compared to the ground, but at a normal speed compared to the air current it was in. "This is mostly a weather event," says Richard P. Anderson, a pilot and the director of the Eagle Flight Research Center at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "The airplane doesn't know its ground speed." By that he means that an airplane can't sense, just based on the physics of the air around it, how fast it's going compared to the ground, and it doesn't matter to the aircraft at all what its ground speed is, either. As for that weather event? The jetstream was moving at a record-breaking 231 mph. (The measurement for the jet stream was taken over New York, and the plane was above Pennsylvania when it hit 801 mph.) The plane was a hitchhiker on the powerful breeze. From November to March the jetstream is typically stronger and positioned over the continental United States, meaning that this was a plum time for the aircraft, traveling west to east, to surf that quick air. To understand what happened, it also helps to consider the different ways speed is measured on a plane. In your car, the speedometer tells you your rate of travel, and that's that. But airplanes have multiple ways of representing their velocities. In fact, Anderson says there are three main metrics: the ground speed, the indicated airspeed, and the true airspeed. Pilots can see all three on big aircraft. Ground speed is measured using GPS, and indicated airspeed is measured using sensors on the plane called pitot tubes. True airspeed isn't measured directly-the plane determines it based on calculations from the indicated airspeed, and is a different number. As the plane goes up in altitude, the difference between the indicated airspeed and true airspeed grows. But true airspeed is the easiest to wrap your head around: it's the speed of the plane compared to the air near it. While pilots pay attention to indicated ground speed and true airspeed, passengers care about ground speed, Anderson says, "because that's going to tell you when you get to the gate." Fly west to east from the United States to Europe and hopefully the jetstream can help you get to Paris. Tailwinds make for a faster journey; headwinds slow you down; both are nice metaphors for other things in life. A good comparison for a plane moving at a normal cruising speed but a fast ground speed because of tailwinds is to picture standing in a moving train car and throwing a paper airplane in the same direction the train is traveling. That plane will have a normal air speed, but once you factor in the speed of the train, it will have a super-duper fast ground speed. As for that 801 mpg ground speed from that Virgin Atlantic plane? A Boeing representative says they have no comment on the matter, as they don't track this type of statistic. Dreamliners, the type of aircraft involved, have a cruising speed of 85 percent the speed of sound. Anderson says that it's uncommon to see speeds like this, and that in this case, it's due to the weather. "As a pilot, when I'm flying my own airplane, what everybody wishes you is tailwinds," he adds. "We always know how fast our airplane actually goes, so we're always jazzed when nature helps along with much higher speeds than we are justified in getting out of our airplane." https://www.popsci.com/plane-air-ground-speed#page-3 Back to Top Back to Top Chief Investigator of Accidents / GM Investigation Services • Strategic leadership contribution at Executive level • Represent New Zealand • Leadership role with investigation focus The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) investigates significant aviation, rail and marine accidents and incidents with a view to avoiding similar occurrences in the future.
