Airplane deliveries remained low at 32 for the month, just three of which were the larger widebody aircraft built in Everett. Airbus in January lost more orders through cancellations than it booked, ending the month with a deficit of 16 airplanes. And Airbus delivered only 30 planes in the month. The Qatar Airways order for the new Boeing freighter added a net increase of 14 orders for the forthcoming 777X, after subtracting 20 orders for the passenger version that the airline converted to the new cargo model. That bumps up the 777X unfilled orders to 334 airplanes. However, The Seattle Times estimates that more than 50 of those have since been classified as doubtful due to contractual or financing issues. In addition, Boeing won eight orders for the current 777 cargo model, the 777F, now the planemaker’s best-selling freighter jet ever. Those consisted of two from Qatar, four from China Airlines of Taiwan and two more from unidentified customers. Boeing also won 53 net orders for the MAX, including 23 from American Airlines and a dozen from Southwest Airlines, which has now has placed 440 orders for the MAX. In addition to winning the new orders, Boeing restored a net total of 23 planes to its official backlog after previously removing them because of lack of financing to complete the purchases or contractual difficulties. Those planes now back in the official order book include 20 of the 777X passenger jets, the first of which is due for delivery in late 2023. This brings Boeing’s total backlog to 4,316 airplanes, of which 3,405 are MAXs. Airbus booked gross new orders for 36 single-aisle jets, but recorded order cancellations for 50 of its previously hot-selling A321neo as well as a cancellation for two of its largest airplane, the A350-1000. This brings Airbus’ total backlog to 7,036 airplanes, of which 5,759 are A320neos. Deliveries slow Boeing delivered 27 MAXs in January, along with two 737-based P-8 anti-submarine planes for the Navy, all built in Renton. It has now delivered more than 300 MAXs since the jet was ungrounded and returned to service in late December 2020. At the end of last year, Boeing still had 335 MAXs in inventory, awaiting delivery. From the Everett plant, Boeing delivered two 767 air refueling tankers for the Air Force and a single commercial widebody: a 777F cargo plane to China Eastern. Deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner remain halted. Boeing still awaits clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration for the repairs to a slew of quality problems on 787s that previously rolled off the assembly lines, work that’s going on in both Everett and North Charleston, South Carolina. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/demand-for-max-and-new-freighter-jet-boosts-boeing-orders-in-january/ Gun owner stopped from carrying loaded weapon onto flight at Buffalo airport Feb. 13—TSA agents recently stopped a Clarence Center man from entering a plane with a .380-caliber handgun loaded with six bullets and one in the chamber at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. The weapon was discovered during baggage check. The traveler voluntarily surrendered his firearm to the NFTA Police for destruction. The man possessed a valid New York state pistol permit. "If you own a firearm and you are planning to take a flight, it is important to know some important facts before you head to the airport," said Bart R. Johnson, Transportation Security Administration's Federal Security Director for Upstate New York. "For starters, the gun needs to be unloaded. It is also important to know that even if you have a concealed carry permit, it does not allow you to bring your gun through a TSA security checkpoint and create a significant safety event." Johnson praised the TSA officers who were involved in preventing the gun from being carried onto a flight on Feb. 5. "I commend the officer who spotted the gun on the X-ray monitor and the entire team that was working at the checkpoint on Saturday. They have a tough job and they perform it well. Additionally, we have a strong partnership with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Police and work closely with them on these incidents and their efforts are greatly appreciated," Johnson said. Passengers are permitted to travel with firearms only in checked baggage if they are properly packaged and declared at their airline ticket counter. TSA has details on how to properly travel with a firearm posted on its website. Bringing a gun to an airport checkpoint carries a federal civil penalty because TSA reserves the right to issue a civil penalty to travelers who have guns and gun parts with them at a checkpoint. Civil penalties for bringing a handgun into a checkpoint can stretch into thousands of dollars, depending on mitigating circumstances. This applies to travelers with or without concealed gun carry permits because even though an individual may have a concealed carry permit, it does not allow for a firearm to be carried onto an airplane. The complete list of civil penalties is posted online. Additionally, if a traveler with a gun is a member of TSA PreCheck®, that individual may lose their TSA PreCheck privileges. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality and passengers should do their homework to make sure that they are not violating any local firearm laws. Travelers should also contact their airline as they may have additional requirements for traveling with firearms and ammunition. Nationwide, TSA officers detected 5,972 firearms on passengers or their carry-on bags at checkpoints last year. Of the guns caught by TSA in 2022, about 86 percent were loaded. https://www.yahoo.com/news/gun-owner-stopped-carrying-loaded-234600065.html American Airlines plane makes emergency landing in Kansas City due to "erratic" passenger An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., made an emergency landing in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday due to an "unruly passenger displaying erratic behavior," the company confirmed. Driving the news: The American Airlines Flight 1775 passenger tried to enter the cockpit before attempting to open an exit door, per multiple reports.

The passenger was "ultimately subdued by our crew and with the help of other passengers," an American Airlines spokesperson said in an emailed statement. The plane landed safely at Kansas City's airport, where it was met by law enforcement on arrival after the crew reported the onboard disturbance, according to the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration. The FBI confirmed the passenger had been taken into custody. By the numbers: The FAA received nearly 6,000 reports of unruly passenger behavior last year. Some 4,200 of these were mask-related. This year, there have been 394 unruly passenger reports and 255 mask-related incidents reported as of Feb. 8, according to the FAA. https://www.yahoo.com/news/american-airlines-plane-makes-emergency-014012743.html ESASI 2022 'Maintaining the Momentum' Budapest, Hungary April 6th and 7th REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN For more information please go to : https://esasi.eu/esasi-2022/budapest-registration See you in Budapest Best regards Steve Hull IEng FRAeS FISASI GRADUATE RESEARCH SURVEY Calling all Part 135 Operators, are you concerned about having an effective SMS? With safety management system (SMS) regulations on the near horizon for 14 CFR 135 operators, it is important to identify barriers to having an effective SMS. A significant challenge to implementing and maintaining a robust SMS is obtaining frontline employee participation. An SMS needs that frontline information to help identify hazards, mitigate risks, and monitor risk controls. My name is Jason Starke, and I am a doctoral candidate at Northcentral University. Please help me in my research to determine if there is a relationship between servant leadership, organizational commitment, and engagement in the SMS (i.e., safety citizenship behavior). If you meet all the following criteria, I would really appreciate your participation: · 18 year of age or older; · Employed by an organization that conducts operations under 14 CFR 135; · Employed by an organization that has implemented a safety management system; and · Employed as a flight crew member (cockpit or cabin) and/or as an aircraft mechanic. The survey only takes roughly 10 minutes to complete and will ask you questions about: · Servant leadership characteristics of your immediate supervisor or manager; · Your current level of commitment to your organization; and · Your perception of the degree to which you feel certain safety behaviors and safety management activities are part of your job responsibilities. Again, please help with the research on this important topic so that we can understand how servant leadership positively influences employee engagement in the SMS.
