There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained minor if any damage. A replacement Boeing 737-500 registration RA-73048 reached Syktyvkar with a delay of 4.5 hours. Rosaviatsia reported the aircraft began its takeoff run at 02:34L and veered off the runway at low speed (about 30kph) coming to a stop about 15 meters (50 feet) off the runway. The passengers disembarked via stairs at about 03:50L. At the time of the occurrence there were heavy snow showers, the runway friction coefficient was measured at 0.35 (permitted down to 0.30), visibility was 1800 meters (about a nautical mile). https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f5bb6fe&opt=0 Incident: Republic E175 at Washington on Mar 6th 2022, bleed system overpressure A Republic Airways Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of United, registration N745YX performing flight UA-3671 from Washington Dulles,DC to Raleigh/Durham,NC (USA) with 71 passengers and 4 crew, was climbing out of Dulles Airport's runway 19L when the crew stopped the climb at 10,000 feet reporting a bleed #2 overpressure indication (engine CF34, right hand). The aircraft returned to Washington for a safe landing on Dulles' runway 19C about 25 minutes after departure. Following a brief inspection by emergency services the aircraft taxied to the apron. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f5b46a0&opt=0 Incident: Cebu Pacific AT72 at Manila on Mar 8th 2022, runway excursion on landing A Cebu Pacific Airlines Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration RP-C7283 performing flight DG-6112 from Naga to Manila (Philippines) with 42 passengers and 4 crew, landed on Manila's runway 24 at 11:27L (03:27Z) but went right off the runway and came to a stop on the grass just after the intersection with runway 13/31 about 1200 meters down runway 24.

(Courtesy: US Air Force) GLENDALE, Ariz. — The pilot of a fighter jet operated by a military contractor that crashed outside Phoenix last month reported a fuel problem and then a failure of the jet’s engine before he ejected and the plane went down in the open desert, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board. The French-built Mirage F1 was flying out of Luke Air Force Base in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale on Feb. 10 on a mission to help train military fighter pilots from the training base. The NTSB report says the pilot was flying with another contractor jet operating out of Luke as aggressors, planes that simulate attacks on competing fighters. The two supersonic Mirage fighters split up to work in a military operations area northwest of Phoenix, and near the end of the activity the pilot reported there was a discrepancy in two cockpit fuel indicators. The pilot left the training area when he reached minimum fuel levels and was flying back toward Luke when he said he lost fuel pressure and the engine quit, according to the NTSB report. The pilot told investigators that he tried to restart the jet’s engine but that effort failed. When he determined he was too far away from Luke to get the plane safely on the runway he steered the jet out into an open desert area and ejected. The pilot suffered minor injuries and the plane crashed about 16 miles northwest of the base. The wreckage has been recovered and will be examined by investigators who are trying to determine the cause of the crash. The pilot’s identity has not been released, but he was flying for for Airborne Tactical Advantage Co., a Newport News, Va., company that contracts with the military. The company known as ATAC is one of a growing number of contractors that fly aircraft to help train military aviators and operates the F1 and other former military jets. It provides aggressor aircraft to help military fighter pilots learn their trade as well as other services to the military. The crash was the second involving a Mirage F1 operated by a contractor in the past year. A jet operated by a different contractor crashed in Las Vegas last year as the pilot came in to land at Nellis Air Force Base. The pilot — Nicholas Hunter Hamilton, 43, of Las Vegas — died. The May 24 crash happened after Hamilton had an inflight emergency, and the plane crashed into a neighborhood, bursting into flames. Hamilton ejected shortly before the plane hit the ground. Hamilton, a retired Air Force pilot, was working for military contractor Draken International. The Mirage F1 is a supersonic, single-engine all-weather fighter that can also perform ground attack and reconnaissance roles. It was designed in the late 1960s and saw service in the French air force before being retired in the mid-2010s. Other nations also operated the jet. ATAC bought 63 retired French F1 jets and took possession of the last one in 2019, according to a posting on the company’s Facebook page. Another crash of a military contractor aircraft happened in 2015 in southern Arizona, killing Marine Lance Cpl. Anthony T. DuBeau. The 23-year-old from Kenosha, Wisconsin, was in a pickup truck providing safety oversight for a construction crew working alongside the runway at Marine Corps Air Station-Yuma. A final National Transportation Safety Board report said the pilot of the BAE Systems Hawk jet took off at too low a speed on March 11, 2015. The British-built jet flying on a mission for the Air Force wobbled, veered off the left side of the base runway and eventually hit the pickup. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2022/03/06/ntsb-fighter-jets-engine-quit-before-it-crashed-in-arizona/ American Airlines adding more than 600 jobs in Miami MIAMI (WSVN) - American Airlines is adding 600 home-based reservation jobs. The company has 200 representatives currently in training. The airline’s goal is to hire more than 400 representatives in the next couple of months, which would bring the remote worker total to nearly 800. American Airlines, whose hometown is Miami, offers up to 360 daily flights to 140 destinations that are operated by more than 12,500 locally-based team members. https://wsvn.com/news/local/american-airlines-adding-more-than-600-jobs-in-miami/ Russian Airlines Are Stopping In Morocco For South America Carriers like Azur Air and Nordwind are taking extreme route diversions due to the current sanctions. In order to fly to certain destinations in Latin America, some Russian airlines are flying previously unseen routes, including stopovers in airports like Agadir International Airport, Morocco. What has been the impact of the Western sanctions on Russian carriers? Let’s investigate further. Closed airspace In the last two weeks, the European Union, Canada, the United States, and a few other countries closed their airspaces to airlines and aircraft from Russia. Aeroflot, S7, Azur Air, Nordwind, and other Russian-based airlines have already felt the impact of the prohibition. The ban was one of the many economic sanctions imposed on Russia due to the country’s current invasion of Ukraine. Banning Russian airlines and aircraft from the European, Canadian, and American airspaces has temporarily led some carriers to ground many international flights. For instance, today, Aeroflot halted all international flights except Minks, Belarus. Other carriers have maintained a few international flights to countries that have not imposed travel restrictions on Russian airlines, like Mexico and Cuba. But, to keep those flights, they have had to operate longer routes, adding overall flight time, costs, layovers, and more. Let’s see a few examples. Traveling through Morocco Take, for instance, Azur Air’s flight ZF6680 between Moscow’s Vuknovo International Airport and Cancun International Airport in Mexico. We are using data from FlightRadar24.com for this flight. In January 2022, Azur operated the flight onboard a Boeing 777, registration VQ-BXJ. It covered 10,023 kilometers, flying nearly 13 hours. It flew over the European Union airspace through countries like Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Today, Azur Air is flying between Moscow and Cancun, but it is using a very different route, onboard a Boeing 767-300(ER), registration VP-BUX. The first leg of the trip was between Moscow and Agadir, Morocco. It covered 4,599 kilometers, but that flight alone took 11:04 hours. After a few hours in Agadir, the aircraft departed to Cancun, covering an additional 7,700 hours. Overall, the new route covers 12,299 kilometers and adds many more hours due to the layover in Morocco. Another Azur Air flight to Latin America, ZF555 between Moscow and Varadero, didn’t have layovers. Nonetheless, it took a different route avoiding the European airspace and adding three hours of flight. The route Kamchatka-Los Cabos Azur Air is not the only airline that has had to reroute its flights to Mexico due to the current sanctions. Nordwind has also had to change how it flies to certain destinations like Los Cabos, in the northwest of Mexico. On March 8, 2022, Nordwind operated its flight N49448 onboard an Airbus A330, registration VP-BUP. The flight was not originated from your traditional location, but instead, it came from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (PKC), the administrative, industrial, scientific, and cultural center of Kamchatka Krai, Russia. The flight lasted 10:25 hours and covered 8,099 kilometers. Repossessing the aircraft Due to the current sanctions, leasing companies must repossess hundreds of aircraft in Russia, an enormous task filled with political and operational implications. Despite the risk of losing its leased aircraft, Nordwind still operated the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky flight on Tuesday. The Airbus A330, registration VP-BUP, belongs to CDB Aviation, according to data provided by ch-aviation. We write risk in italics because the aircraft belongs to a lessor, so it should go back to its hands, but it seems Russian airlines are trying to avoid that through different strategies. https://simpleflying.com/russian-airlines-stopping-morocco-south-america/ Boeing’s airplane deliveries slipped in February as Dreamliner problem lingers • Boeing delivered 22 planes to customers in February, its fewest since August. • It booked gross orders for 37 planes, most of them 737 Maxes. • Deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner have been paused for most of the last 16 months. Boeing delivered 22 jetliners to customers in February, its fewest since August, as a pause in Dreamliner handovers continues to weigh on the company. Twenty of those aircraft were 737 Max planes. Deliveries of jets are crucial for Boeing and other manufacturers because that’s when customers pay the bulk of the plane’s price. Deliveries of the wide-body 787 Dreamliner have been paused for most of the time since fall 2020 as Boeing addresses a series of manufacturing flaws that have required fixes and more in-depth inspections. American Airlines last month announced additional cuts to its international summer schedule because of Dreamliner delivery delays. It said it expects to receive 10 Dreamliners this year, down from the 13 it previously expected. Boeing logged 37 new orders last month. Thirty-two of them were 737 Maxes, including 18 for lessor Air Lease. An unidentified customer bought five 777 freighters as air cargo demand continues to remain robust during the Covid pandemic. Air Lease canceled bookings for four Dreamliners. Boeing’s orders for customers in Russia are still in its backlog, despite the fact that it and rival Airbus said they would no longer supply parts or service aircraft there. Boeing’s deliveries to Russia have been suspended, however. Boeing has 85 airplanes on order by Russian airlines or by lessors that are slated to go to Russian airlines, while Airbus has 66, according to aviation data and consulting firm Cirium. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/08/boeing-airplane-deliveries-slipped-in-february-dreamliner-problem-lingers.html Ukrainian Arms Company Offers $1M for Capture of Working Russian Aircraft A Ukrainian defense industry manufacturer wants to give anybody who captures a Russian military aircraft $1 million U.S. In a translated statement published on its Facebook page on Tuesday, defense manufacturer Ukroboronprom announced that it will give bonuses to those who retrieve "stolen combat aviation equipment of the occupiers." The post says that it will offer $500,000 for a captured military helicopter and $1 million for a fighter plane. In order for the bonuses to be received, the equipment must be in working condition. Ukroboronprom also encouraged Russian soldiers who want to defect to send their equipment to be offered Ukrainian citizenship. Ukroboronprom also offered Russian soldiers financial incentives to give up the fight and their working weapons. "To use this opportunity, you need to surrender to Ukrainian authorities along with the military hardware," the company wrote on its website. "You and your family may become wealthy people, no longer obliged to carry out criminal orders. You can become free and rich. To reach Ukrainian dispatchers, you already know the frequencies." Ukrainian Ammunition A Ukrainian arms company is offering up to $1 million for anyone who can recover working Russian military equipment. Above, a Ukrainian military member hands large-caliber ammunitions to a gun operator in an armored fighting vehicle during an exercise in a Joint Forces Operation controlled area in the Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, on February 10, 2022. If the Russian population is reflected in the country's army, then some soldiers could decide to take up Ukroboronprom's offer in an act of resistance. A recent poll conducted by aides of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny showed that 53 percent of 700 Moscow respondents view their country as an aggressor in the war, with 28 percent labeling Russia as a liberator. About 36 percent of participants in the poll blamed Russia for the ongoing war. While the respondent pool of the Navalny poll was limited, it reflects a growing sentiment throughout Russia that is resulting in the country's citizens protesting the war. About 13,000 anti-war protesters have been arrested since the beginning of the invasion. As far as weaponry goes, while Ukraine is able to supply themselves thanks to companies such as Ukroboronprom, the U.S. recently announced that it will send weapons to the country as part of a $12 billion aid package. Some politicians have warned against such decisions, including Representative Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat. "The consequences of flooding Ukraine with billion dollars in [American] weapons, likely not limited to just military-specific equipment but also including small arms + ammo, are unpredictable & likely disastrous," Omar wrote on Twitter. "I support giving Ukraine the resources it needs to defend its people, I just have legitimate concerns about the size and scope." https://www.newsweek.com/ukrainian-arms-company-offers-1m-capture-working-russian-aircraft-1686080 HAI joins NATA and TSI to offer safety manager certification program Helicopter Association International (HAI) is pleased to announce a new partnership with the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) and the US Department of Transportation’s Transportation Safety Institute (TSI) to provide safety management training to HAI members by enabling them to sign up for NATA’s Air Transport Safety Manager (ATSM) certification program. March 2022 The ATSM program provides HAI members with the fundamentals of designing, developing, implementing, and sustaining an effective and verifiable aviation safety management system (SMS). Upon successful completion of the program, candidates will receive the SMS and Aviation Safety Program Manager certificate. “Our goal is to provide quality, cutting-edge training required to enhance safety for aviation operators and the traveling public. This alliance provides an extraordinary opportunity to do just that,” says Mr. D Smith, TSI Aviation Safety Division manager. “It takes skill and resources to operate rotorcraft and specialized equipment safely, efficiently, and effectively,” says Chris Hill, director of safety at HAI. “Partnering on this ATSM course will allow HAI members another opportunity to enhance their operations and lower their risk levels.” March 2022 “The leadership of NATA and HAI share a common belief—safety must be global. Together, we are smarter, stronger, and, ultimately, safer,” says NATA SVP of Safety and Education Keith DeBerry. “NATA is proud to be a partner with HAI and TSI to bring this immersive safety program to the rotor community. This collaboration is a new opportunity to foster a culture of safety that spans across the general aviation industry and the exchange of best practices and data—ensuring the safest possible airspace system for aviators, support professionals, and civilians across the globe.” https://verticalmag.com/press-releases/hai-joins-nata-and-tsi-to-offer-safety-manager-certification-program/ FlightSafety To Train Lilium eVTOL Pilots A memorandum of understanding (MoU) announced Tuesday between eVTOL startup manufacturer Lilium, fractional-share provider NetJets, and FlightSafety International calls for the latter company to provide crew training products and services for Lilium Jet operators. Last week, NetJets signed an MoU for up to 150 Lilium eVTOLs that it plans to operate under its fractional-share program. FlightSafety (Booth 10948) has been developing new mixed-reality trainers for various aircraft types, including rotorcraft, and will offer these as well as courseware for the Lilium training program. The mixed-reality trainers combine virtual reality features such as views of the outside world and the inside of the aircraft with actual controls, switches, and buttons inside the device so the pilot trainee has a more realistic experience. Mixed reality can even show moving vehicles interacting with the training aircraft, for example, formation flying, landing on a helipad alongside emergency vehicles, and other dynamic operations. “This partnership is a major step in our mission to build radically better ways of moving and to electrify regional air travel,” said Daniel Wiegand, co-founder and CEO of Lilium. “We believe that the private and business professional segments will be highly attractive markets in the future and, likewise, early adopters of the eVTOL revolution.” “Our focus on technology and adaptive learning will help prepare aviation professionals with the highest levels of expertise to support operation of the Lilium Jet,” said FlightSafety president and CEO Brad Thress. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/general-aviation/2022-03-08/flightsafety-train-lilium-evtol-pilots Britain impounds private jet suspected of Russian link LONDON — Britain has impounded a private jet it suspects of being linked to a Russian oligarch, and tightened aviation sanctions against Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said Wednesday the Luxembourg-registered plane had been seized at Farnborough Airport in southern England while U.K. authorities tried to unravel its ownership. U.K. officials believe the Bombardier Global 6500 jet is connected to billionaire oil tycoon Eugene Shvidler. It arrived in the U.K. from New Jersey last week and had been due to fly to Dubai on Tuesday. Britain has banned Russian-owned or operated planes from its airspace, but Shapps said the government was still working to close some “loopholes.” The government announced late Tuesday it was toughening sanctions to include “the power to detain any aircraft owned by persons connected with Russia.” Britain also banned the export of aviation- or space-related items and technology to Russia. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/britain-impounds-private-jet-suspected-of-russian-link-01646824531?siteid=yhoof2 Russia Roils Plane-Backed Bonds by Keeping $10 Billion of Jets (Bloomberg) -- Russia’s decision to block foreign owners from seizing hundreds of planes worth about $10 billion is roiling a market where aircraft leases are bundled into bonds and sold to investors. European Union sanctions imposed on Russia because of its Ukraine invasion give plane owners until March 28 to retrieve the vehicles. But only a handful have been extracted, and hopes for more are dim. And so some asset-backed securities in the aviation space are coming under duress as a result. Although these types of transactions are designed to survive cash flow problems at the airlines leasing the planes, fully losing access to planes under these circumstances almost guarantees that lease payments that feed these ABS deals will soon dry up, with recourse uncertain. “It will be interesting to watch, as potentially the bottom capital structure could start to see losses,” said Jennifer Thomas, portfolio manager at Loomis, Sayles & Co. The situation has already had a chilling effect on over two dozen aircraft ABS deals that are exposed to the region, with investors fearing some tranches within those deals might take losses. Among the ones most exposed are two from Carlyle Aviation -- one with 44% and another with 37% of lease payments tied to Russia or Ukraine -- and two others from Castlelake Aviation. Kroll Bond Ratings is evaluating whether to downgrade nine deals, worth roughly $2.9 billion in total, including the Carlyle and Castlelake ones. Moody’s Investors Service has done the same to one Castlelake ABS. According to a March 7 note from the credit rater, the deal will see reduced cash flow due to “foregone lease income tied to early lease terminations and increased transaction costs stemming from potentially prolonged repossession and remarketing timelines associated with the aircraft on lease to Russian airlines.” Some deals have already moved frantically in the secondary market. A refinancing of a Castlelake aircraft-lease asset-backed bond originally issued in 2017 plunged in value in early March after the Russian invasion, losing 17 cents on the dollar in a single day, according to Empirasign. The bond, known as CLAST 2017-1R, tranche B, was marked as high as 99.8 cents on Dec. 31 and plummeted to about 82 cents on March 1, Empirasign said. It’s currently at 83.25 cents. The ABS has about a 20% exposure to Russia, according to S&P.

By Feb. 26, EU-based insurers and reinsurers were required to stop providing coverage of planes to Russia-based airlines, while in Ukraine, some insurers have already withdrawn their coverage for aircraft leased and located in the country despite a lack of sanctions. Although lessors have their own insurance policies, insurers may find a way to not pay them back, Moody’s said. “Insurers may take steps to unilaterally cancel some policies, subject to required notice periods, before lessors incur losses, which could limit lessors’ recoveries and add to potential future loss in the transactions.” Elsewhere in credit markets: Americas At least five of the eight companies looking to issue new U.S. investment-grade debt opted to stand down Tuesday ahead of the U.S. decision to ban Russian energy imports.
