The aircraft slowed safely and vacated the runway via a high speed turn off about 970m/3200 feet further down the runway. The aircraft taxied to a remote stand. A replacement A320-200N registration D-AINA reached Stockholm with a delay of about 80 minutes. The occurrence aircraft returned to service about 31 hours after the rejected takeoff. http://avherald.com/h?article=4e1dc3ee&opt=0 Incident: Austrian DH8D near Nuremberg on Jan 18th 2021, cracked windshield An Austrian Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration OE-LGO performing flight OS-352 from Brussels (Belgium) to Vienna (Austria), was enroute at FL230 near Nuremberg (Germany) about 60nm northwest of Nuremberg when the crew decided to divert to Nuremberg advising of a cracked windshield. The aircraft landed safely in Nuremberg about 30 minutes later. The aircraft is still on the ground in Nuremberg about 4 hours later. The airline reported the passengers were taken to Munich (Germany) by bus and rebooked onto another flight from Munich to Vienna. http://avherald.com/h?article=4e1d957c&opt=0 Incident: Azul AT72 at Uberlandia on Jan 14th 2021, burning odour in cockpit An Azul Linhas Aereas Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration PR-AKD performing flight AD-4180 from Uberlandia,MG to Belo Horizonte,MG (Brazil) with 68 passengers and 4 crew, was climbing through FL110 out of Uberlandia when the crew observed strange sounds and a burning odour on the flight deck. Subsequently the crew received a Recirculation Fan 1 fault indication. The crew stopped the climb and returned to Uberlandia for a safe landing about 25 minutes after departure. Brazil's CENIPA reported there were no injuries and no damage to the aircraft. The occurrence was rated an incident without investigation. http://avherald.com/h?article=4e1da783&opt=0 Bell 206B JetRanger II - Wire Strike (South Africa) Date: 19-JAN-2021 Time: c. 09:00 Type: Bell 206B JetRanger II Owner/operator: Private Registration: ZS-HUC C/n / msn: 1723 Fatalities: Fatalities: 1 / Occupants: 1 Other fatalities: 0 Aircraft damage: Written off (damaged beyond repair) Location: near Ceres, Western Cape - South Africa Phase: Manoeuvring (airshow, firefighting, ag.ops.)

The aircraft was engaged in tests involving aborted takeoffs and emergency braking with the simulated failure of one engine. During one of these tests, takeoff was commenced from runway 30. After aborting the takeoff, the aircraft went off the right side of the runway and came to a full stop in the snow. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=246875 Canada introduces additional requirements to allow return to service of Boeing 737 MAX On January 18, 2021, Transport Canada issued an Airworthiness Directive for the Boeing 737 MAX which outlines the required modifications to be made to the aircraft prior to a return to service in Canadian airspace. This concludes the department’s review of the aircraft. In addition to all reviews, and to provide additional assurances that all measures are in place, an Interim Order that indicates Transport Canada’s expectations and requirements for additional training for crew members was also issued for operators. It is complementary to the design and maintenance requirements of the Airworthiness Directive. As a final step in this process, Transport Canada will lift the existing Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) which prohibits the commercial operation of the aircraft in Canadian airspace on January 20, 2021. This will allow for the return to service of the aircraft in Canada. U.S. – Canadian differences The Canadian design changes for the Boeing 737 MAX, compared to the U.S., will include an enhanced flight deck procedure that provides the option for a pilot-in-command to disable the “stick shaker” when the system has been erroneously activated by a failure in the angle of attack sensor system. This feature will effectively reduce pilot workload given what has been learned from the two tragic accidents, and has been fully evaluated by Transport Canada’s flight test pilots. There will also be differences in training including that associated with the enhanced flight deck procedure. https://news.aviation-safety.net/2021/01/18/canada-introduces-additional-requirements-to-allow-return-to-service-of-boeing-737-max/ Spirit agent hospitalized, passengers arrested after bag dispute Two Spirit Airlines agents were injured on Sunday after three passengers "attacked them" while trying to board a flight from Detroit to Atlanta "without authorization" on Sunday, the airline said. Spirit Airlines told ABC News that the group became combative after the agents asked the passengers to verify that their carry-on bags met the airline's luggage size requirements. "The agents attempted to calmly defuse the situation," Spirit said in a statement, "but were physically assaulted by these passengers as they closed a door to stop them from boarding the aircraft." The airline confirmed one of the agents had to be transported to the hospital. "All of us at Spirit wish the agents a speedy recovery and thank them for their courage and professionalism," the statement continued. Spirit said those involved in the "attack" were arrested by law enforcement. Those passengers are also banned from any future travel on the airline. "This violent behavior is completely unacceptable and has absolutely no place in airports or any other place of business," Spirit said. The incident comes less than a week after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it will begin handing down stricter punishments to unruly airline passengers without a warning, including "fines of up to $35,000 and imprisonment." FAA Administrator Steve Dickson signed the order Wednesday directing the agency to take a "zero-tolerance policy" in unruly passenger cases after the agency saw a "disturbing increase in incidents" of passengers disrupting flights with "threatening or violent behavior." The FAA's new policy will remain in effect through March 30. "We can always make it a longer time period," Dickson told ABC News. The agency said it has "initiated more than 1,300 enforcement actions against unruly passengers" within the last decade, "including recent cases for allegedly interfering with and assaulting flight attendants who instructed them to wear masks." https://www.yahoo.com/gma/spirit-agent-hospitalized-passengers-arrested-071817849.html Indonesia air crash investigator hopes for recovery of cockpit voice recorder JAKARTA, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Indonesia's air accident investigator is still hoping to recover the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from a crashed Sriwijaya Air jet to better understand information obtained from the flight data recorder (FDR), an official said on Tuesday. The 26-year-old Boeing Co 737-500 plane crashed into the Java Sea shortly after take-off from Jakarta on Jan. 9 with 62 people on board. Information stored on the flight data recorder has been downloaded and includes 370 parameters as well as 27 hours of recordings covering 18 flights, including the accident, National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) Investigator Nurcayho Utomo said in a video statement. Parameters are a reference to the amount of data recorded from aircraft systems including the flight path, speed, engine power and flaps configurations. The 370 parameters referenced by Utomo is an increase from 330 parameters announced on Friday. "We are really hoping the CVR could be found to support the data we recovered from FDR," Utomo said. Indonesian divers found the CVR's casing but are still searching for its memory unit, a navy officer said on Friday. The search for the CVR and victims was on Monday extended by three days, with further extensions possible. The KNKT plans to issue a preliminary report within 30 days of the crash, in line with international standards. Representatives from the United States and Singapore are aiding the investigation. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/indonesia-air-crash-investigator-hopes-034545125.html Panel probing military aircraft accidents says U.S. pilots not flying enough The end of another touch-and-go practice landing became anything but routine after a brief, loud noise filled the cockpit of the T-38C flown by Capts. John F. Graziano and Mark S. Palyok. “What’s that?” one of the pilots asked. A compressor stall and loss of engine thrust left Graziano with seconds to react as he took control of the Talon, the Air Force’s mainstay supersonic training jet. A probe into the Nov. 13, 2018 crash that killed Graziano, 28, of Elkridge, Md., found that he mishandled throttle and flight control inputs as the jet lost power on takeoff. A recent report from a commission studying aviation accidents like that one at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio and another T-38C deadly mishap there in 2017 says that many of them never should have happened. That they did raises hints that the Pentagon hasn’t done enough to prevent crashes and save lives. Military aviation mishaps The National Commission on Military Aviation Safety conducted a study of mishaps across the armed services from fiscal years 2013-18. It examined more than 6,000 accident reports and talked with aviators and maintainers at 200-plus units at 80 different sites. Among its findings: In five years, 198 personnel were killed and 157 aircraft were destroyed in 6.079 accidents, called mishaps in the military. The cost topped $9 billion. Pilots did not fly often enough, yet a relentless, high operations tempo overall is causing chronic fatigue and unsafe conditions.. Maintainers had too many administrative duties and needed better training. Lack of consistent, reliable funding was the single biggest readiness issue impacting safety. Insufficient data collection and analysis is increasing risks. There are few new causes in accidents. The same mistakes are being repeated. Most are preventable. SOURCE: National Commission on Military Aviation Safety In just five years, 198 military personnel and 157 aircraft were lost in 6,079 “mishaps” — the military’s term for accidents — costing $9.4 billion. Most were avoidable, the National Commission on Military Safety said. The panel studied the scope and depth of the problem from 2013-18. Congress created it in 2019 to examine the rates and causes of mishaps, and recommend ways to improve aviation safety. While the commission was conducting its study, military aviation mishaps claimed another 26 lives, 29 aircraft, and $2.25 billion. Everywhere commissioners went, their report stated, “certain answers were consistently repeated, regardless of service, rank, or airframe.” Pilots didn’t fly enough so proficiency waned, crews made do with inadequate training and were slammed with administrative duties while struggling to get funding. They endured risky maintenance practices and a crushing operations tempo, a term that refers to the pace of troops training, deploying and returning home to repeat the cycle. Observers said reversing those trends boils down to four fixes: Slowing that pace, getting pilots into the air more often, giving maintenance crews more time to do their jobs and opening the funding spigots for cash-starved aviation units. “We came away from our visits impressed with the patriotism, dedication, and level of effort we observed throughout the ranks of America's military,” said retired Gen. Dick Cody, the commission’s chairman. “But we also came away deeply concerned and troubled by the decline in experience, crushing optempo and lack of resources.” Yet another issue is the fact that many military aircraft have reached the end of their intended lifespans but are still flying. In some cases maintenance crews scrounge for parts at the Boneyard on Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., a resting place for old planes. Some aircraft now flying go back 65 years. The T-38 has been in the Air Force since John F. Kennedy was president. The C-130 and KC-135 tanker became operational under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In their report, commissioners warned the pace of operations is leading to unsafe practices and “driving experienced aviators and maintainers out of the force.” Flight hours are down and waivers for pilots not making them over the course of a year are on the rise, they said. That in turn bypasses “critical currency and proficiency requirements, … increasing risk, and creating major distractions and delays in developing the best possible aviators.” The commission found that aviation and maintenance experience, keys to doing a job safely and well, are also in decline. New pilots and maintainers report to operational units without basic skills. As flight hours are replaced with simulator hours, the sims often are outdated. Others are out of service or even unavailable. Aircrews, moreover, have reported unexplained physiological episodes. UPEs, as they’re called, can result from hypocapnia, a state of reduced carbon dioxide in the blood, or hypercapnia, excessive carbon dioxide in the blood usually caused by inadequate respiration. UPEs linked to flaws in life-support systems in the Air Force’s basic fyling trainer, the T-6A Texan II, forced the 559th Flying Training Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph to halt operations for a day in 2018. On ExpressNews.com: Cockpit oxygen problems persist in Air Force trainer flown in San Antonio The commission said maintainers are “distracted by career-enhancing assignments unrelated to their highly specialized aviation skills.” “Both aircrews and mechanics are further deluged with voluminous additional duties depriving them of vital training opportunities. The net result is a shortage of mid-grade maintainers and aviators across the services, and an overall decline in experience levels,” it said. Then, there’s money. A junior Marine at one base told the commission his unit reused expendable $5 filters on aircraft. When asked why, he said the organization had missions to do even if it didn’t have the money to buy new filters. The report said that “egregious example” of funding woes occurred because money was shifted to other priorities. “Inconsistent funding, and the tolerance it fosters for maintenance shortcuts, were the likely causes of the next mishap at this unit,” the report predicted. One of the Army’s most experienced attack helicopter pilots found little in the report that was new. Retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Lance McElhiney, who spent nearly 44 years as an aviator and flew in four wars, said getting enough flight time has been a problem since the end of the Vietnam War. Many accidents, he added, are preventable when the right personnel with the right training are in place at critical moments. “There’s a lot of accidents that happen,” said McElhiney, who joined the Army at 21, flew in Vietnam and retired at 67 after flying the AH-64D Apache Longbow in Afghanistan. “Like I always used to say, we’re more dangerous to ourselves than the enemy ever dreamed of being to us.” The seriousness of the problem was made clear starting in the summer of 2017. The services saw a number of high-profile mishaps over the next 12 months that called into question the overall state of military aviation safety. A Marine Corps KC-130 came apart in the sky over Mississippi, killing 15 Marines and one Navy corpsman, the report said. An Army UH-60 crashed into the sea during a night exercise off the coast of Oahu, killing all five aboard. A Navy C-2A Greyhound ditched into the Philippine Sea with three fatalities. There were other deaths, as well as UPEs that grounded the T-6. The commission ranked accidents as Class A, which involves a death, to less severe Class B and C mishaps. Overall Pentagon accident rates increased during the five years in the study, largely due to Class C mishaps. Though many were minor, the commission said they “could be a harbinger of more serious safety issues.” A key commission recommendation is to create a Joint Safety Council that reports to the deputy secretary of defense. The council would establish military aviation safety standards, collect and analyze safety data, and develop safety priorities. It would be led by safety officials from across the services and have the authority to monitor and coordinate aviation safety programs. On ExpressNews.com: Engine failure blamed for crash in path of S.A. suburban growth The proposal carries the promise of helping the services learn from each other, said McElhiney, who has 13,000 hours in AH-1G Cobra and Apache attack helicopters and flew with Cody decades ago. Still, he wonders about potential limitations. There has long been a lack of standardization across the services and each service has unique missions. Still, he believes the council is a good idea in part because his old friend advocates it. “Dick Cody treated us all very fairly and if he’s doing this, he’s doing it for a good cause. The man has got good intentions, he always has,” said McElhiney, 74, of Harker Heights. “I mean, Dick Cody is probably one of the most stand-up, honest guys I’ve ever met in my life. He’s very loyal and he’s very dedicated to aviation and the betterment of aviation as a whole.” https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Panel-probing-military-aircraft-accidents-says-15875398.php Boeing 737 MAX to get EU flight clearance next week PARIS (Reuters) - Boeing’s 737 MAX airliner will receive final clearance to resume flying in Europe next week, the head of the EU’s air safety watchdog said on Tuesday. The EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is one of the last major regulators to approve changes to the MAX and its anti-stall software, blamed for two deadly crashes that grounded the jet in March 2019. The European agency, which published a draft airworthiness directive in November, has made largely presentational adjustments after public consultations, Executive Director Patrick Ky said in an online media briefing. “We expect to publish it next week, which means the MAX will be cleared to fly again,” Ky said. A separate certification of the MAX-200 variant will likely follow in “coming weeks”, he added, allowing flights to resume before summer. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Brazilian authorities both cleared the MAX for flight in November. Canada is expected to follow suit on Wednesday. Following the crashes, EASA insisted on carrying out a broader and deeper review than it typically conducts on Boeing jets under the FAA’s primary authority. Emirates President Tim Clark last week credited the European regulator’s “very hard line” for helping to restore public trust in the MAX. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-737max-easa/boeing-737-max-to-get-eu-flight-clearance-next-week-safety-chief-idUSKBN29O106 Singapore Airlines hopes to be world's first fully-vaccinated airline (CNN) — Singapore's national carrier is hoping to become the world's first airline to get all of its crew members vaccinated against Covid-19. Singapore Airlines (SIA) confirmed to CNN Travel that all of their crew members -- including pilots, gate agents, flight attendants and anyone whose job requires contact with the public -- have been offered free coronavirus vaccines by the Singaporean government. The country has purchased the Pfizer vaccine, which requires two shots. "We are grateful to the Singapore government for making the aviation sector a priority in the country's vaccination exercise," the airline's CEO, Goh Choon Phong, said in a statement that was emailed out to the whole company on January 18. "This reflects the sector's importance, and the crucial role we play in both Singapore's economic recovery and the fight against the pandemic." According to the airline, 5,200 SIA employees have already signed up to get their shots. Inoculations will begin in a few days. Phong, alongside Singapore's transport minister Ong Ye Kung, was among the city-state's first citizens to get vaccinated. He has received the first of his two shots, and reports that "the procedure was painless and fuss-free." Once vaccinated, crew members will be subject to less scrutiny and fewer coronavirus-related security measures. For example, flight crew who are currently tested on the seventh day after their return to Singapore will be exempt from this test going forward. Singapore's response to the pandemic has been largely successful due to border closures and a national contract-tracing app. The country has had 59,113 confirmed cases of the virus and only 29 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Still, citizens of the city-state have expressed an interest in being able to travel again. A much-hyped "travel bubble" with Hong Kong was indefinitely postponed in December when Hong Kong had a spike in virus cases. The annual Henley Passport Index placed Singapore second in the world -- just one point behind nearby Japan -- for passport power. Singaporeans can enter 190 countries or territories around the world without needing a visa. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/singapore-airlines-covid-vaccination-wellness-intl-hnk/index.html SpaceX will launch its 1st Starlink satellites of 2021 on Wednesday. Here's how to watch. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX will launch its first batch of Starlink satellites in 2021 on Monday (Jan. 18) to expand the company's growing megaconstellation and you can watch the action live online. The Hawthorne, California-based company will loft 60 Starlink internet satellites on its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's historic Pad 39A here at Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8:45 a.m. EDT (1422 GMT). You can watch the launch live here and on the Space.com homepage, courtesy of SpaceX, beginning about 15 minutes before liftoff. You can also watch the launch directly via SpaceX. SpaceX already has one launch under its belt this year and is looking to ramp up the pace. 2020 was a banner year for the private spaceflight company, which included two different astronaut missions to the International Space Station — the first for a commercial company. It was also the company's busiest launch year to date, with a record 26 flights, smashing the previous record of 18 set in 2018. This year SpaceX has even bigger ambitions, as the company plans to launch 40 rockets between its California and Florida launch sites. Following liftoff on Monday, the Falcon 9's first stage is expected to land on SpaceX's drone ship, "Just Read the Instructions" in the Atlantic Ocean. (SpaceX’s main drone ship, "Of Course I Still Love You," is undergoing maintenance before it returns to service following a busy year.) If successful, the landing will mark the 72nd recovery of a first stage booster for the California-based rocket manufacturer. The rocket featured in this launch will be another record-setting booster. Known as B1051, this flight proven booster will embark on its eighth flight — the first of SpaceX's fleet to do so. It will also mark one of SpaceX's shortest turnaround times between flights as this particular last flew just over a month ago. To date, B1051 has carried an assortment of payloads, including an uncrewed Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of a 2019 flight test, followed by a trio of Earth-observing satellites for Canada as well as four different Starlink missions. Most recently, it carried a 15,432-lb. (7,000 kilograms) satellite into orbit for Sirius XM, that will beam down content to Sirius subscribers across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. SpaceX created its Starlink internet program to connect users around the globe and provide reliable and affordable internet service, mainly to remote and rural areas. By using a small terminal (no larger than a laptop), users on the ground will be able to connect to the ever-growing network. SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has said that the company needs to launch between 500 and 800 satellites in order to begin rolling out service. To date, SpaceX has launched more than 1,000 of the internet-beaming satellites into orbit, in an effort to fill out its planned initial constellation of 1,440 spacecraft. SpaceX has already begun beta-testing its space-based internet service, and the initial testing phase has shown that the service is reliable. The phase is going so well that SpaceX has even started to offer users in the U.K. to help in the beta-testing. The company received a license to start operating in the U.K. last year, thanks to local telecoms regulator Ofcom. Flight milestones Monday's launch marks the 102nd flight overall for SpaceX’s workhorse two-stage Falcon 9 rocket, as well as the 51st reflight of a Falcon 9 rocket since the company began recovering boosters in 2015. Over the past five years, the company has honed its recovery efforts, while continuing to prove Falcon 9’s reliability. Flying previously flown boosters has now become commonplace for SpaceX, and has allowed the company to launch its rockets at a record pace. To date, SpaceX has successfully landed its first-stage boosters 71 times. Now that the company has two fully operational drone-ship landing platforms — "Of Course I Still Love You" and "Just Read the Instructions" — in Florida, it’s able to launch (and land) more rockets. The newer drone ship on the block, "Just Read the Instructions," is already at the recovery zone waiting for its turn to catch B1051 when it returns to Earth on Monday. SpaceX is expected to continue its tradition of recovering the Falcon 9's payload fairing, or nose cone, on this flight. The company has two net-equipped boats — called GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief — that it uses to snag the fairings as they fall back to Earth in two pieces. Each piece of the clamshell-like hardware, which cost approximately $6 million combined, is outfitted with software that navigates it to the recovery zone, and a parachute system that lets them gently land in the ocean or the outstretched net of GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief. The boats are also able to scoop the fairings up out of the water as making a midair catch is tricky and dependent upon several factors, like weather and winds. Typically the team decides whether it will catch or scoop the day of launch. And those recovery efforts take place roughly 45 minutes after liftoff. Currently, weather is 70% go for the launch opportunity on Monday, with the only weather concerns being the potential for cumulus clouds over the launch site. There is a backup launch time on Tuesday if need be. The launch weather that day looks even better, with a 90% chance of favorable launch conditions. If everything goes as planned, this could mark the first of two SpaceX launches from Florida this week. The Hawthorne, California based company is planning to launch a rideshare mission on Thursday (Jan. 21). And could cap off the month with another Starlink mission. https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-17-satellites-launch-webcast RTCA Free Webinar, Jan. 21 - 1pm ET: Nancy Graham of Graham Aerospace presents – Stratospheric Operations: New air vehicles and High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) are advancing current operations in the national and international airspace every day.
