The aircraft climbed to FL120 and diverted to Toulouse for a safe landing on runway 32L about 50 minutes after the go around in Aurillac. Passengers reported they diverted to Toulouse due to a problem with the left main gear and were instructed to brace for landing in Toulouse. The airline reported the aircraft diverted due to fog in Aurillac. https://avherald.com/h?article=4eff3b10&opt=0 Incident: Ethiopian A359 at Johannesburg on Nov 6th 2021, hard landing An Ethiopian Airlines Airbus A350-900, registration ET-AYB performing flight ET-809 from Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) to Johannesburg (South Africa), touched down hard on Johannesburg's runway 03R at 12:57L (10:57Z), rejected landing and climbed out about 10 degrees right off the runway heading. The aircraft climbed to 8000 feet MSL, subsequently positioned for an approach to runway 03L and landed without further incident about 20 minutes later. The aircraft is still on the ground in Johannesburg 4 days (96 hours) later. A local source told The Aviation Herald the aircraft suffered a hard landing and a runway excursion and went around. According to ADS-B data transmitted by the aircraft the aircraft was descending at 500+ fpm at the time of touchdown, touched down about 120 meters/400 feet past the runway threshold (past the runway numbers but before the first touch down zone marker), changed 12 degrees to the right and climbed through 400 feet AGL about 460 meters/1500 feet to the right of the runway centerline overflying the hangars east of the runway. On Nov 10th 2021 South Africa's CAA reported they were notified of an incident involving an Ethiopian A350-900 on Nov 6th 2021 and dispatched investigators on site to determine scope and size of the investigation. A preliminary report will be published within 30 days. https://avherald.com/h?article=4eff33e8&opt=0 Report: FAA review finds Boeing safety employees lack expertise • The FAA told Boeing several of its engineers had trouble understanding its aircraft certification processes and meeting its expectations. The Federal Aviation Administration has leveled new criticisms at The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) over its choice of engineers to oversee its aircraft certification, a Reuters report said. In a letter to the company Wednesday, the agency told Boeing several of its appointees had trouble understanding its certification processes and meeting its expectations. A Boeing spokesperson said in a statement to the Business Journal that it is “committed to ensuring the highest levels of safety and quality in all that we do, and that includes the important work of Boeing employees who are designated as authorized representatives.” The FAA will soon begin to take a more active role in the selection of candidates under the Organization Designation Authorization, the program through which it delegates some testing, inspection and certification functions to manufacturers' employees. Beginning in January, under the new rules, the FAA will be required to develop best practices and guidance on the technical qualifications required for members of the ODA unit. It will also be tasked with reviewing existing unit members and approving or rejecting new candidates Boeing puts forward. “We respect the FAA’s oversight role and look forward to strengthening the ODA selection process and the program overall,” the Boeing spokesperson said. An inquiry by the agency is already underway into whether the company exerts undue pressure on its ODA unit members, after surveys it conducted showed a third of the engineers tasked with safety oversight felt pressured not to report concerns to regulators. The FAA itself faced questions from lawmakers in October about the speed with which it has implemented the reforms passed in the wake of two deadly crashes of the Renton-built Boeing 737 Max in 2018 and 2019. Administrator Steve Dickson said he had "reset" the relationship with Boeing at the beginning of his tenure in 2019 and has worked to root out "single points of failure" in aerospace production. https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2021/11/10/faa-letter-flags-boeing-safety-employees-expertise.html?ana=yahoo Woman punches her son and steals passenger’s cookies on flight from Texas, FAA says The Federal Aviation Administration is recommending aa hefty fine to a Horizon Air passenger for an “unruly” incident on a flight from Austin to San Francisco, officials said in a news release. A passenger who refused to fasten her seat belt on the May 18 flight “punched and screamed at her husband and son .... diverting flight attendants from their duties,” the news release said. “She threw trash at a flight attendant, and snatched cookies from a nearby passenger.” A fine of $32,000 was proposed for the woman, who was not named. Her case was one of 10 announced Nov. 10. McClatchy News reached out to Horizon Air for comment. The FAA recently reported that while incidents with unruly passenger on commercial flights have dropped since the “Zero Tolerance campaign” launched, the rate still remains high. “Our work is having an impact and the trend is moving in the right direction. But we need the progress to continue. This remains a serious safety threat, and one incident is one too many,” FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said in a September release. “The FAA will continue its Zero Tolerance policy, keep its public awareness campaign going, and keep pushing and partnering with everyone in the aviation system to do more.” More than 100 reports of passenger disturbances that involved physical assault have been filed since Jan. 1, the release said. According to the Sept. FAA release, “unruly passenger incidents were occurring approximately six times per every 10,000 flights.” Among the other fines proposed by the FAA on Nov. 10 include: $20,000 for a Delta Air Lines passenger accused of yelling orders at multiple flight attendants and verbally threatened an attendant with profanity on a flight from New York to Los Angeles. $26,787 for a Southwest Airlines passenger who left his seat and attempted to enter the cockpit before he tried to remove his luggage from the overhead bin during the plane’s final descent, according to the news release. $24,000 for a passenger on American Airlines who was accused of physically assaulting a flight attendant after the captain requested to remove her from the flight for refusing to wear her face mask during boarding. $23,000 for a passenger who “verbally abused flight attendants after she realized her assigned seat would not recline” on an American Airlines flight from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to Aspen, Colorado, the news release said. https://www.yahoo.com/news/woman-punches-her-son-steals-002852646.html Boeing agrees deal with families of Ethiopia crash victims • A total of 157 people died when Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 302 crashed • Boeing has reached an agreement with the families of the 157 people who died in the Ethiopia 737 Max crash in 2019. The plane maker accepts liability for their deaths, according to court documents in Chicago. In return, families of the victims will not seek punitive damages from the company. Lawyers for the victims' families said Boeing would still be held "fully accountable", welcoming the agreement as a significant milestone. Boeing shares fell 1% to $218.50 on the news. The agreement opens the way for families outside the US, in countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya, to claim compensation through the US courts, rather than in their home countries, which might be more difficult and result in lower payments. Former Boeing 737 Max pilot charged with fraud Boeing directors face investor lawsuit over crashes Boeing to pay $2.5bn over 737 Max conspiracy Mark Pegram in the UK, whose son Sam was one of the victims, said: "The main positive for us is that Boeing is admitting liability, and not diverting blame onto Ethiopian Airlines or the pilots... we wanted them to hold their hands up." Sam's mother Debbie told the BBC: "All we are looking to do with any compensation is set up a charity in Sam's name. It's what we want to do and it's what Sam would have wanted us to do." At the time of the crash, the 737 Max was Boeing's best-selling plane. But two fatal accidents within five months - the Ethiopia Airlines flight out of Addis Ababa and before that a Lion Air jet that came down into the sea off Indonesia - signalled there were serious faults with the aircraft. The planes were grounded for 20 months, while investigations took place, but have since been allowed to return to operations after the firm made significant changes to their software and training. Words are important and in this agreement Boeing accepts responsibility for the crash of ET302 - a disaster which claimed the lives of 157 people from 35 different countries. The world may have moved on and the 737 Max may be flying again, but for many of the families of those who died, the grief and sense of loss remains very raw indeed. In the period since the two accidents involving the 737 Max, Boeing has faced criticism for appearing to deflect blame elsewhere, for example by questioning the abilities of the pilots. So that admission of liability really does matter. For Boeing, the agreement provides some protection, by removing the possibility of relatives seeking potentially very high punitive damages and by making it unlikely current or former executives will be called to testify in court. Alongside the settlement reached in a lawsuit bought by shareholders last week - who had been suing the company over unsafe business practices - it removes much of the legal jeopardy the aerospace giant had been facing. But the company has made a significant concession. It has agreed that all compensation claims can be made under US law, which provides for much higher levels of compensation than would apply in many other countries. Compensation claims The agreement reached in Chicago, Illinois, where Boeing is headquartered, opens the way for compensation claims to be made. While it does not stipulate any specific level of compensation for the victims' families, the agreement will limit the scale and scope of any further procedures. Legal experts say it makes the prospect of current or former Boeing executives testifying in court much less likely. "Boeing is committed to ensuring that all families who lost loved ones in the accidents are fully and fairly compensated for their loss," the plane maker said in a statement. "By accepting responsibility, Boeing's agreement with the families allows the parties to focus their efforts on determining the appropriate compensation for each family." Lawyers for the victims released a statement saying that under the agreement, Boeing admitted "that the 737 Max had an unsafe condition, and that it will not attempt to blame anyone else" for the crash. "This is a significant milestone for the families in their pursuit of justice against Boeing, as it will ensure they are all treated equitably and eligible to recover full damages under Illinois law, while creating a pathway for them to proceed to a final resolution, whether through settlements or trial," the lawyers said. In January, Boeing agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Department of Justice, including $2.5bn (£1.9bn) in fines and compensation stemming from the 737 Max crashes, including the Lion Air crash in October 2018. https://www.yahoo.com/news/boeing-agrees-deal-families-ethiopia-212929495.html NTSB: Controls jammed on private jet that crashed in Houston HOUSTON (AP) — Flight controls that maneuver the tail wing were jammed when a private jet overran a runway in Houston and burst into flames, federal investigators said Wednesday. The National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement that the controls were so jammed investigators couldn’t even move the adjustable flaps on the tail of the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 by hand. The agency said its investigation was continuing. The jet was about to depart Houston Executive Airport for Boston on Oct. 19 when the flight crew aborted takeoff. The jet overran the end of the runway, crashed through a fence and burst into flames. Of the 23 passengers and crew, two were seriously injured and one had minor injuries. The passengers were headed to Boston to attend an American League Championship Series game between the Houston Astros and the Red Sox, according to the plane’s owner, J. Alan Kent, who was on board. Previously, the NTSB had revealed that the aircraft had not been flown since December, and investigators are looking into maintenance performed on the plane, federal authorities said Thursday. The damaged control surfaces were similar to those found during an investigation of a Boeing MD-83 that crashed after a rejected takeoff on March 8, 2017. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2021/11/11/ntsb--controls-jammed-on-private-jet-that-crashed-in-houston Ambitious Plans: Jet Airways Wants 100 Aircraft Within 5 Years A couple of months ago, officials at Jet Airways made headlines announcing that the airline, once fully revived, will start operations in the first quarter of 2022. One thing that stood out was Mr. Murari Lal Jalan of the Kalrock-Jalan consortium stating that Jet plans to operate 100+ aircraft in five years. While much has been written about the carrier’s revival plans since then, only those closely associated with Jet’s top management can tell for sure about the exact nature of its future fleet planning. But we can always look back at the progress and challenges faced by Jet so far to get some idea. 100+ airplanes in five years Before it went bust, Jet Airways did operate a 100+ fleet of aircraft, and a diverse one at that. Its workhorse was, of course, the Boeing 737, mostly the -800s variants, that did most of the heavy lifting of the majority of its domestic routes. ATRs served Jet’s shorter regional networks, and its longer international flights relied on the usual suspects – the Boeing 777s and Airbus A330s. So, as a brand Jet Airways is no stranger to a large fleet. However, much has changed since 2019. Jet Airways went down in a pretty dramatic fashion, with its planes being seized before departures and its fleet grounded as lessors and vendors closed in to demand payments. At that time, nobody could even imagine a resurrection, at least anytime soon. Cut to 2021 – as the world comes to terms with the pandemic and Indian skies prepare for mind-boggling changes, the new owners of Jet Airways are preparing for its second stint. Mr Jalan stated in September, “Jet Airways 2.0 aims at restarting domestic operations by Q1-2022, and short haul international operations by Q3/Q4 2022. Our plan is to have 50+ aircraft in 3 years and 100+ in 5 years which also fits perfectly well with the short-term and long-term business plan of the Consortium.” Teething troubles? Officials at Jet Airways have been busy getting all necessary government approvals in preparation for its relaunch next year. In June, the carrier cleared a significant hurdle when the National Companies Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved Jet’s revival plan. The company is also working to revalidate the carrier’s Air Operator Certificate (AOC). While Jet aims for 100+ airplanes in the long run, it plans to start with a modest fleet of 20+ airplanes. Back in June, Ashish Chhawchharia, Partner – Advisory, Head – Restructuring Services, Grant Thornton Advisory appointed by the Kalrock-Jalan consortium, spoke to NDTV about Jet starting flights by year-end. He said it would initially operate on 20 routes, with 20 narrowbody and 5 widebody aircraft by the time 2021 draws to a close. Clearly, that plan was delayed. This is because getting important slots at major airports has been a challenge for Jet. The carrier once had around 700 time slots, allowing it to land and depart from congested airports like Mumbai and Delhi. Since Jet hasn’t flown for over two years, it is not entitled to historicity over its previous slots, which have been devoured by other airlines since then. Speculation is strong that Jet would probably go for the Boeing 737 series again if and when it restarts operations. The 5 widebodies that Ashish Chhawchharia alluded to in his interview to NDTV are most likely its Boeing 777-300ERs currently parked in Mumbai and Delhi. While there’s still some time before we see a 100+ strong fleet for the carrier, Jet Airways loyalists are excited to find out what the airline’s second innings would look like. https://simpleflying.com/jet-airways-100-aircraft-5-years/ SpaceX launches crew of 4 astronauts to International Space Station • Four astronauts took off for the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX capsule Wednesday evening.
