Rosaviatsia reported the aircraft had just come out of maintenance. At enroute flight level the left engine became unstable prompting the crew to shut the engine down. The aircraft continued for a landing at Tyumen however destroyed three main tyres on landing. The aircraft is still on the ground in Tyumen 55 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=4e58bf43&opt=0 NTSB WOULD MANDATE AVIATION SAFETY PROGRAMS, SOME DATA RECORDING The NTSB announced its 2021–2022 Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements on April 6, leading off with recommendations for operators of revenue-generating passenger carrying flights to establish safety management system (SMS) programs, and for passenger-carrying commercial aircraft to have image recording and flight data recording capabilities that would shed light on—or help avoid—accidents. “The Most Wanted List defines the focus of the NTSB’s advocacy work. It directs our limited advocacy resources toward improvements with the greatest potential to make the greatest impact on saving lives, reducing injuries, and preventing accidents and crashes,” said NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt. Assembling the list—a practice begun in 1990—"serves as a beacon to safety advocates outside our walls,” he said. Recent high-profile accidents in Part 91 and Part 135 operations and the FAA’s lack of response to prior NTSB recommendations were top of mind for the rollout of the two aviation items included on the 10-item Most Wanted List by a unanimous vote of the five-member NTSB. Dana Schulze, director of the NTSB’s Office of Aviation Safety, presented the SMS recommendation that was directed to the FAA, with the NTSB noting the slight-at-best participation of operators in the FAA’s voluntary SMS program. Although SMS activity is slowly increasing, only 20 of approximately 1,900 Part 135 operators have had their SMS programs approved to date, with 213 others in various stages of the approval process, Schulze said. The NTSB takes the position that a lack of FAA oversight and continuing accidents have made mandated SMS programs necessary for Part 91 operators as well. In March, the NTSB called for enhanced safety standards, identifying regulatory shortcomings it said had allowed some operators to “exploit loopholes to avoid stricter oversight.” “The lack of a requirement for all Part 91 revenue passenger-carrying operators to have safety management systems and inadequate FAA oversight of those systems when voluntarily implemented introduce risks the NTSB determined were unacceptable and avoidable,” it said in a March 23 news release. In the Oct. 2, 2019 crash of a World War II-era Boeing B-17G that was flying on a "living history flight experience" flight, “the operator’s ineffective safety management system and the FAA’s inadequate oversight of it, contributed to the probable cause of the accident that killed seven and seriously injured five others.” According to the NTSB, a SMS has four components: A safety policy, safety assurance, safety risk management, and safety promotion. “To improve Part 135 and Part 91 safety, we should encourage operators to voluntarily implement such systems while simultaneously urging the FAA to require them,” the NTSB staff presentation said. Responding to the NTSB’s March 23 announcement, the AOPA Air Safety Institute cautioned against an “overly broad” approach to general aviation safety management. “We do support Safety Management Systems (SMS), and when properly scaled and implemented they can be an effective safety tool. When thrust upon operations without regard to the size, and type of operation, SMS programs can be a deceiving facade, expensive and time-consuming to develop with no real impact on operations,” wrote AOPA Senior Vice President Richard McSpadden in a March 31 letter to Sumwalt. “We do not support any requirement that all revenue passenger carrying operations, and even all Part 135 operations must implement and sustain an SMS program. Such a mandate would indicate an under-appreciation for the widely varied types and scale of operations underway.” The NTSB’s other aviation-related recommendation on the new Most Wanted List to “install crash-resistant recorders and establish flight data monitoring programs” was directed not to the FAA but to six manufacturers of turbine-powered helicopters because “unfortunately, there has been little action on the part of the FAA to implement cockpit image recorders,” said Jim Ritter, director of the NTSB’s Office of Research and Engineering. Five of six manufacturers have provided encouraging feedback, he said. (Under board questioning, the lone non-responder was identified as Sikorsky Helicopters.) The NTSB noted that in 2013 it had recommended that the FAA “require cockpit image recording on all turbine-powered aircraft.” In 2020 the NTSB “called for helicopter manufacturers to install cockpit image recorders on their aircraft,” it said, noting that “numerous investigations lacked critical recorded information.” “Recent high-profile accidents involved aircraft without recorders” that could have helped investigators, the NTSB said, adding that flight data monitoring “could have helped prevent the accident.” https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2021/april/07/ntsb-would-mandate-aviation-safety-programs-some-data-recording NJ man accused of causing emergency airplane landing in Charleston federally indicted A federal grand jury has formally indicted a New Jersey man accused of starting a fight that forced a Florida-bound airliner to make an emergency landing in Charleston last month. John Yurkovich Jr. faces one count of assault within special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, according to the indictment, which was filed on April 6. “This his entire incident is very uncharacteristic of John,” Rose Mary Parham, his attorney, told The Post and Courier. “He is a loving husband and father and successful entrepreneur and businessman.” The 45-year-old Millstone Township, N.J., resident also faces one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. That charge is being handled in state court. Yurkovich had been flying from Newark, N.J., to Miami, but pilots made an unplanned landing at Charleston International Airport after a fight broke out in the cabin. A passenger told police Yurkovich seemed agitated upon returning from the bathroom and took out pills from his carry-on bag. He began screaming and thrashing, according to an incident report, then punched a neighboring passenger and broke the man’s glasses. Everyone involved declined hospital treatment. A doctor on board gave Yurkovich a shot of Benadryl to subdue him, authorities said. By the time authorities boarded the plane, they found Yurkovich face down on the floor with a belt and zip ties binding his hands behind his back. His shirt had been pulled over his head, according to an incident report, and one officer found about 1.5 grams of a white crystal substance in his pocket. https://www.postandcourier.com/news/nj-man-accused-of-causing-emergency-airplane-landing-in-charleston-federally-indicted/article_aa7e0692-97d2-11eb-9a7e-df4e8a46886b.html WMU prepares to open $20M aviation expansion BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — Western Michigan University is just weeks away from opening a new multimillion-dollar expansion at its College of Aviation campus in Battle Creek. The majority of the $20 million cost is being covered through state funding, with the university contributing as well. Tom Thinnes, the recruitment manager for the college, says the building will provide additional space needed for future growth. “The original education aviation center was just over 16,000 square feet. With the new improvements to the building and the additions to the building, we’re going to have an education aviation center that’s over 60,000 square feet,” Thinnes said. “We’re going to go from four classrooms to 11 classrooms. We’re going to see an improved simulator bay.” The space will also have a plane paint lab, something few aviation programs in the country offer. Suzie Targosz a flight instructor at the college and recent graduate, said new spaces like briefing rooms will be helpful for pre- and post-flight meetings with her students. “It’s really exciting. It’s really cool to see the old building where I took a lot of my classes and I spent a lot of time and see this new beautiful building,” Targosz said. One of the university’s partners, United Airlines, says it plans to hire 10,000 pilots this decade, as well as more workers to fill crucial positions on the ground like technicians and roles in operations. The Federal Aviation Administration requires pilots to retire at age 65, which is adding to the number of openings. “The demand in aviation is significant. The jobs out there are tremendous. Once we get through the COVID craziness, the airline industry will recover. It is already recovering,” Thinnes said. Aviation student Hunter Hayes will graduate in December and sees opportunities in industry. “It’s been a slow year in the aviation industry but it’s definitely going to expand and continue to expand after that. All the trajectories are saying coming in the next couple months and years to follow there’s going to be a huge increase in demand in pilots and all aviation related careers,” Hayes said. The college hopes the facility improvements can set the program apart and allow for growth. “I’m biased. I think we’re the best flight school, but I think this will definitely open up a lot of doors and I think it will attract a lot of future students and I think that we can accommodate those students now,” Targosz said. The college expects to open the expansion in early May. https://www.woodtv.com/news/calhoun-county/wmu-prepares-to-open-20m-aviation-expansion/ Allegiant announces aircraft and crew base in Austin AUSTIN, Texas – Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today announced plans to establish a base of operations at the South Terminal at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS). The Las Vegas-based company will invest $75 million to establish the new base in Austin, creating at least 89 high-wage jobs and housing three Airbus A320 aircraft. The company, which focuses on linking travelers in small-to-medium cities to world-class leisure destinations, plans to begin its base operations in Austin on November 18, 2021. “Austin has been a really exciting location for Allegiant — not only do leisure travelers appreciate having convenient access to the incredible music scene, cultural and historic attractions the community has to offer, but local residents have also flocked to our affordable, nonstop flights for their travel needs,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s Senior Vice President of Revenue. “It makes perfect sense to establish a permanent base in Austin, further establishing Allegiant as a hometown airline in a city we love and where we plan to grow. Having locally-based operations will mean opportunities for expanded hours, as well as more — and more frequent — flight offerings for visitors and locals alike.” Located in Central Texas, the capital city of Austin is world-renowned as a premier destination for live music, events and cultural arts — from visual art exhibits to film festivals — as well as dining and an abundance of outdoor activities. Nestled adjacent to the Texas Hill Country, Austin offers the perfect balance of an exciting, bustling city and the quaint and iconic offerings of the Lone Star State, including Hill Country vineyards, wineries and historic attractions. Home to the University of Texas, South by Southwest and the newly-formed Austin FC professional soccer club, the city is also one of the nation’s fastest-growing centers for technology innovation and business enterprise. “The announcement of Allegiant’s selection of Austin as a base city is just the kind of news our community and the tourism industry needs right now,” said Austin City Councilwoman Vanessa Fuentes, who represents District 2 — where Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is located. “The potential for added flights will bring more travelers into the area and offer Central Texans extra options when it comes to their own travel plans. The airport is an economic driver in our local economy, and I'm excited to see growth and activity in the district and beyond during such a critical time.” “We are thrilled that Allegiant is making Austin a base city and with that, bringing more jobs to our region,” said Doug Driskill. “As Chair of the Chamber’s Air Service Task Force, I know landing more non-stop flights to serve our growing region is our top priority. We look forward to continuing to work with Allegiant as they build up their presence.” “Allegiant has been a fantastic partner of the South Terminal since our operations began in April of 2017,” said Jeff Pearse, Chief Executive Officer, LoneStar Airport Holdings, LLC. “We share their commitment to offering convenient, and low cost access to air travel. We are honored to expand this relationship and serve as a trusted partner for this investment into the future.” Allegiant began operating at AUS in October 2013 with service from Austin to Las Vegas and currently offers 14 nonstop routes – to Orlando-Sanford and Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Fla.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.; Albuquerque, N.M.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Des Moines, Iowa; Asheville, N.C.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Bozeman, Mont. (new service starting May 27, 2021) and Bentonville, Ark. (new service starting July 2, 2021) as well as Las Vegas. Since establishing service, Allegiant has flown more than 1.1 million passengers through Austin. “AUS is excited for this investment in our community and the South Terminal’s ability to accommodate Allegiant’s growth,” said Mookie Patel, AUS Chief Business and Finance Officer. “Allegiant establishing Austin as a base provides strong economic support to Central Texas and even more convenient and affordable ways to travel.” Unlike most other airlines, Allegiant operates an “out-and-back” network, with exclusively nonstop flights — meaning each day’s flying starts and ends at a base, rather than connecting traffic through busy hub airports. The base at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will bring additional flexibility for flight times and future route opportunities, as locally-based crew members return home nightly to Austin. Allegiant, which employs more than 4,200 team members across the U.S., plans to immediately begin hiring pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and ground personnel to support the operations. Available positions will be posted on Allegiant’s careers website, where interested applicants may apply online. ### Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Owned and operated by the City of Austin, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is an economic engine in Central Texas, supplying over 74,000 direct and indirect jobs in the Central Texas region. Its reflection of local food, music, art, and customer service has earned Austin-Bergstrom recognition—including Runner-Up for Best U.S. Airport in Fodor’s 2019 Travel Awards. Allegiant – Together We FlyTM Las Vegas-based Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) is an integrated travel company with an airline at its heart, focused on connecting customers with the people, places and experiences that matter most.

The announcement comes as U.S. airlines resume pilot hiring halted last year during the pandemic and as they find themselves in the crosshairs of politically charged issues involving race. "We want to make sure that we are tapping into a big deep talent pool and not limiting ourselves to just one section of the pond," Chief Communications Officer Josh Earnest said on a Zoom call with journalists. Chicago-based United joined Delta Air Lines and American Airlines on Monday in speaking out against voting restrictions following recent legislation in states like Georgia that activist groups say unfairly target Black and other racial minority voters. United is the only major U.S. airline to own a flight school, the United Aviate Academy, which it bought last year just before vanishing demand because of the pandemic forced the industry to scale back its operations. Now, as more Americans are vaccinated, airlines are ramping up again. United plans to hire 10,000 pilots by 2030, half coming through its academy, and the rest from other airlines or the U.S. military. Of United's roughly 12,000 pilots, about 7% are women and 13% people of color, the company said. There are fewer than 100 black women pilots flying for major airlines, United pilot Carole Hopson said on the call, adding this situation had to change. Becoming a pilot can be a long and costly pursuit and the company is offering $1.2 million in academy scholarships. The airline's credit card partner, JPMorgan Chase, will fund another $1.2 million for women and people of color accepted to the academy, which expects to enroll 100 students this year. United said it hopes the program gives it an advantage in recruiting and training pilots as the industry braces for a wave of retirements at the mandatory age of 65 and after thousands retired early during the pandemic. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/united-airlines-prepares-shake-white-120807304.html Reno Air Races to return after year-long wait, tickets go on sale RENO, Nev.
