Stop!", "Stop it!", tower instructed the crew to stop the approach at 1500 feet. When the aircraft descended through 1200 feet significantly having veered to the left off the localizer the autopilot disconnect wailer can finally be heard on the radio transmission, the crew manages to go around from about 1150 feet. While climbing out and levelling off at 4000 feet the crew reported they had problems with the aircraft not following commands, the aircraft did not follow the commands. The crew requested runway 27R under radar vectoring, positioned for an approach to 27R and landed without further incident. The aircraft is still on the ground in Paris about 10.5 hours after landing. According to ADS-B data transmitted by the aircraft was at 1725 feet MSL about 4.17nm before the runway threshold (glideslope at 1768 feet MSL). The aircraft subsequently began to deviate to the left. On Apr 6th 2022 the French BEA reported they rated the occurrence a serious incident and opened an investigation. The aircraft suffered a "flight control instability", control stiffness and trajectory oscillations. CVR and FDR data have been downloaded on Apr 5th 2022 and are being analysed. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f700fec&opt=0 Incident: American B772 at Barcelona on Mar 20th 2022, flap fairing detached in flight An American Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration N777AN performing flight AA-113 from BArcelona,SP (Spain) to Miami,FL (USA) with 261 people on board, was climbing through FL120 when the crew noticed a left wing flap fairing had detached. The crew assessed the damage, levelled off at FL330 and returned to Barcelona for a safe landing on runway 06L about 70 minutes after departure. Spain's CIAIAC reported the crew declared Mayday and returned to Barcelona due to the detachment of the left wing flap fairing. The aircraft received minor damage, the occurrence is being investigated. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f70151a&opt=0 Incident: Norwegian B738 at Longyearbyen on Apr 4th 2022, bird strike A Norwegian Air Shuttle Boeing 737-800, registration LN-DYM performing flight DY-396 from Tromso to Longyearbyen (Norway), was on approach to Svalbard Airport's runway 10 when the aircraft suffered a bird strike. The aircraft continued for a safe landing. The aircraft however was unable to continue its schedule and remained on the ground in Svalbard for about 18 hours, then positioned to Oslo (Norway) and resumed service about 4 hours after landing in Oslo. A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration LN-DYK positioned to Longyearbyen and performed the return flight DY-397 with a delay of 7:45 hours. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f70080e&opt=0 Incident: Jetstar Japan A320 at Sapporo and Tokyo on Apr 3rd 2022, dropped seal A Jetstar Japan Airbus A320-200, registration JA08JJ performing flight GK-112 from Sapporo to Tokyo Narita (Japan), had been inspected prior to departure with no anomalies found. The aircraft departed Sapporo's runway 19R, climbed to FL380 enroute and landed safely on Narita's runway 34L. A post flight inspection revealed a seal between fuselage and right wing (length 1.6 meters, width 0.1 meters, weight 0.7kg) was missing from the airframe. Both runways were inspected, the seal was not discovered. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Tokyo about 48 hours after landing. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4f6fbdc1&opt=0 JetBlue makes $3.6 billion bid for Spirit Airlines The offer introduces a new factor into an ongoing merger effort involving Spirit and Frontier JetBlue Airways made an unsolicited cash bid in a proposed $3.6 billion deal to buy bargain air carrier Spirit Airlines, Spirit announced Tuesday. JetBlue is seeking to acquire Spirit’s common stock for $33 a share, Spirit said, adding that its board of directors will evaluate the proposal and pursue the “best interests of Spirit and its stockholders.” The combination “would position JetBlue as the most compelling national low-fare challenger to the four large dominant U.S. carriers by accelerating JetBlue’s growth,” JetBlue said in a statement, saying it would prompt Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines to lower fares more than they would when ultra-low-cost airlines enter new markets. The announcement comes amid a time of change for the airline industry, which saw interest in travel plummet at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Air travel has since rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels, although several carriers have been caught unprepared by the rising demand in recent months. Tuesday’s bid introduces a significant factor into an ongoing merger effort involving Spirit and low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines that would create the nation’s fifth-largest carrier. JetBlue said the proposed deal would be “superior” to Spirit’s existing agreement with Frontier, representing a premium of 50 percent to Spirit’s recent closing price. Any deal would require the approval of federal regulators. In a statement responding to JetBlue’s bid, Frontier said the latest offer “would lead to more expensive travel for consumers.” Frontier cited “significant East Coast overlap between JetBlue and Spirit” that it said would reduce competition and options for consumers. Frontier, Spirit announce merger to create fifth-largest U.S. airline “It is surprising that JetBlue would consider such a merger at this time given that the Department of Justice is currently suing to block their pending alliance with American Airlines,” Frontier said in a statement. Last year, the Justice Department filed suit challenging an alliance between American and JetBlue Airways that allows the carriers to sell each other’s seats on selected flights in the Northeast. Under the Spirit and Frontier agreement, Spirit shareholders would receive 1.9126 shares of Frontier stock plus $2.13 in cash for each existing Spirit share they own, according to Spirit. Frontier said that agreement has “substantial upside potential” for both companies’ shareholders. Spirit said it would respond to JetBlue “in due course.” JetBlue said its offer would allow the airline to redouble its “long-standing commitment to Florida,” in addition to growing in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The bigger JetBlue would also fly into St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville, Atlantic City and Myrtle Beach, S.C., for the first time, it said. David Dague, an airline industry expert and principal at the management consulting firm Arthur D. Little, said the size of the JetBlue-Spirit combination would dwarf that of the Frontier-Spirit union. “The combination of the two is a much more competitive entity versus the Big Four,” Dague said, adding that it would also allow JetBlue to offer more-generous terms for Spirit’s shareholders. JetBlue and Spirit would also become leading players in some of the strongest leisure markets, including travel to the Caribbean and Florida, that are lifting airlines from the depths of the pandemic, Dague said. They would become the largest U.S. carrier going to the Caribbean and the second-largest in Florida, Dague said. Buying Spirit also would bring a new supply of pilots to JetBlue, addressing a nationwide shortage, Dague said. The merger “makes them competitive in this industry, because trying to secure enough pilots is going to be something every carrier in the U.S. is going to be grappling with,” he said. Any merger among the nation’s airlines would be the first since Alaska Airlines announced that it would acquire Virgin America in 2016. Before that, American Airlines and US Airways announced their intent to combine operations in 2013, which created the world’s largest air carrier. https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/04/05/jetblue-spirit-frontier-airlines/ ICAO to start audit of Nepal’s aviation next week The audit team is expected to show special interest in the level of progress in the separation of the civil aviation body, experts say. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) will be doing a scheduled safety audit of Nepal's aviation sector next week. A team of 10 auditors from the United Nations specialised agency are slated to arrive in Kathmandu on Sunday. They will begin work on April 13 which will last 10 days. “We have completed preparations from our side,” said Deo Chandra Lal Karna, spokesperson for the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. The ICAO experts will review Nepal's aviation safety and aviation security oversight capacities, and check whether safety-related Standards and Recommended Practices have been effectively implemented. The audit is of particular importance at this time as Nepal is readying to open two new international airports in Pokhara and Bhairahawa. Experts say that the audit team is expected to show special interest in the level of progress in the separation of Nepal's civil aviation body. According to them, two crucial bills to break up the civil aviation body into regulator and service provider have been gathering dust for a long time, hampering Nepal’s effort to ensure a full aviation safety system. Insiders say the failure to pass the proposed pieces of legislation may be an obstacle to getting a full score. The Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme Continuous Monitoring Approach (USOAP CMA) focuses on a state's capability to provide safety oversight by assessing whether it has effectively and consistently implemented the critical elements of the safety oversight system. The last such assessment was done in 2009. The outcome of the audit score is crucial for Nepal and its burgeoning tourism and aviation industry as it could impact the international expansion plans of investors. The decennial full safety audit of Nepal’s aviation sector was to have been conducted in 2019, but the government had asked to defer it by a year. The reason for the postponement was to give the government time to complete institutional reform: Splitting the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal into regulator and service provider. As per international norms, the same entity cannot be both service provider and regulator, two roles the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal has been performing currently by providing airport services and also overseeing compliance with aviation regulations. Such dual functions lead to a conflict of interest, the European Commission, for example, has maintained. ICAO had agreed to the request for the year-long deferment, and had planned to conduct a full safety audit of Nepal from May 10-20, 2020. Covid-19 further pushed back the schedule. The ICAO team was expected to arrive for an audit on March 21, 2021, but due to the pandemic and consequent border closures, the plan was shelved once again. “The global aviation safety watchdog will start its audit from zero,” according to an official at the civil aviation body. ICAO will look into eight critical elements of aviation safety—primary legislation; organisation and safety oversight functions; personnel licensing; aircraft operations; airworthiness of aircraft; aerodromes; air navigation system; and accident and incident investigation. Out of the eight critical elements, accident and incident investigation comes under the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Ministry, as it is responsible for monitoring developments in accident investigation techniques and practices as well as accident prevention matters. "Based on the audit, ICAO will award Nepal a score for effective implementation of safety standards after 90 days," said Karna, who has been nominated as the national coordinator from the Nepali side. During the last audit on May 14, 2009, ICAO gave Nepal a score of 46 percent in the effective implementation of critical elements of the safety oversight system, which was way below the global average of 60 percent. In July 2013, a mission visited Nepal to validate the corrective measures taken by the country to address the deficiencies pointed out by the global aviation watchdog in 2009. It detected several lapses during an on-site audit held from July 10-16, and ICAO gave a “significant safety concern” tag to Nepal’s aviation sector in its audit report in August 2013. The 2013 audit report pointed out that Nepal’s score of 54.97 percent was still far below the global average. The Montréal-based agency raised the red flag on operations among the eight critical elements of safety oversight due to a sharp rise in the number of air accidents and incidents between 2009 and 2012. Based on the significant safety concern tag, the European Commission blacklisted all Nepali carriers in December 2013 for the worst record in air safety oversight. Nepal invited the next audit in 2017 to observe the progress of its safety enhancement effort. In July 2017, the ICAO-coordinated validation mission gave Nepal a score of 66.76 percent for effective implementation of safety standards—which is above the benchmark of 60 percent set by ICAO through its Global Aviation Safety Plan. That same year, ICAO withdrew the significant safety concern tag given to Nepal’s aviation sector. According to an internal audit of the country’s civil aviation body, Nepal in its current position can achieve a 67.8 percent score for effective implementation of safety standards, which is slightly higher than the benchmark of 65 percent. Accident trends (per 1,000 departures) and fatality related to aeroplanes registered a continuous steep drop, according to the data of the past 10 years (2011-20), the Aviation Safety Report 2021 said. Fatalities related to helicopter accidents, however, have been on the rise. During the past 10 years, there has been a steady growth in helicopter movement. The civil aviation body said that helicopter operations were required for logistic, rescue and relief purposes because of the country's mountainous and inaccessible terrain. Tourism growth has also led to an increase in helicopter flights. In the fixed wing sector, the higher number of fatal accidents and fatalities have been related to multi-engine aircraft of 19-seat or smaller capacity. Such aircraft have been involved in 13 accidents with 99 fatalities in the past 10 years. Coming second in the list is helicopter operations with 13 accidents and 27 fatalities. During the last 10 years, aircraft operating in the short take-off and landing (STOL) sector have been involved in more accidents than aircraft operating on trunk sectors. Among the 19 accidents that occurred during the period, 16 were in the STOL sector which shows that STOL flights are riskier. In 2020, aircraft operations were halted for months due to the travel restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the aviation regulator, only one accident occurred in 2020. There were 13 serious incidents and 199 incidents in 2020. As per Nepal's Aviation Safety Plan 2018-22, the country will seek to improve its rate of effective implementation of the critical elements of the safety oversight system to 75 percent by 2022. The safety indicators keep fluctuating all the time. https://kathmandupost.com/money/2022/04/06/icao-to-start-audit-of-nepal-s-aviation-next-week U.S. Air Force is Short 1,650 Pilots, Report Says The shortage of fighter pilots has prompted the service to staff operational units with field grade officers, a service official said. The USAF reported it employed 13,789 active duty officers with a pilot aeronautical rating in 2021. The U.S. Air Force is short 1,650 pilots and has brought back retired pilots to help fill staffing gaps created by a lack of company-grade officers, according to a new report. “That’s an improvement over last year, where we were just over 1,900 pilots short,” Maj. Gen. Albert Miller, Air Force director of training and readiness for operations, told the Federal News Network recently. “We see that as a positive for the Air Force, but there’s still a lot of work to be done to get us back to where we want to be.” “I think we’re making gains to attack the pilot shortage. It’s just going to take a while to correct. Col. John O’Dell, military deputy director for Training and Readiness, Aircrew Task Force, U.S. Air Force Headquarters According to service data, USAF reported it employed 13,789 active duty officers with a pilot aeronautical rating in 2021. The largest gaps are found with the company-grade officers who typically fly, and among fighter pilots, where the service is currently experiencing a shortage of 1,100 airmen, Miller said. More experienced field-grade officers are being pulled to backfill the pilot positions. A lack of sufficient company grade officers in the pipeline now means there will be fewer to move up into higher positions later. It’s a scenario that could take a decade or more to correct, Miller said. “Today those field-grade officers that would normally be doing staff jobs, working policy and those sorts of things are in the air,” Miller told the Federal News Network. “We prioritize the line flying, so that the operational units are fully manned with the pilots that they need to carry out their operational missions. Those experienced field-grade officers are not filling staff positions.” The service is making headway, however, according to Miller. Last fiscal year, the Air Force trained 1,380 pilots, which was about 120 more than the year before, according to the Federal News Network report. Not a Recent Problem The pilot shortage confronting the Air Force, and the U.S. military as a whole, is far from new. Three years ago and before the pandemic, for example, the Department of Defense (DOD) told Congress it was facing a shortfall of more than 3,000 pilots. The Air Force is attempting to fill the voids by ramping up strategies to accelerate training and improve retention. The service has a ballpark target of producing about 1,500 new pilots every year across the service, including the National Guard and Reserve units. Of that amount, the service aims to get 1,100 active duty pilots into the pipeline every year, Col. John O’Dell, military deputy director for Training and Readiness, Aircrew Task Force, U.S. Air Force Headquarters, told FLYING earlier this year. Doing so, he said, establishes a robust foundation of company-grade officers in the ranks to fill out the shortage. One strategy the Air Force is turning to is the acceleration of new pilot training, which traditionally stretches two to four years. The Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) 2.5 program expedites the initial phases of training, and the service is developing a “Civil Path to Wings” program, which accelerates Air Force flight training for civilians, such as airline pilots or hobbyists who have flying experience. It’s also finding gains by looking within. The Rated Preparatory Program creates a pathway to flight training for active-duty airmen with little exposure to flying to help them compete on Undergraduate Flying Training (UFT) boards. “I think we’re making gains to attack the pilot shortage,” O’Dell said. “It’s just going to take a while to correct. It’s not something that can be corrected in a single year or two.” https://www.flyingmag.com/u-s-air-force-is-short-1650-pilots-report-says/ Call for Nominations For 2022 Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Foundation is now accepting nominations for the 2022 Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award, honoring a leader in global aviation safety.

About the Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Foundation and Award The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award's story dates back more than 75 years. On April 14, 1945, after visiting family in Pittsburgh, Laura Taber Barbour was aboard a Pennsylvania Central Airlines DC-3 when it crashed into the rugged terrain of Cheat Mountain near Morgantown, West Virginia. All passengers and crew were killed. In 1956 her husband, Dr. Clifford E. Barbour and son, Clifford E. Barbour, Jr., in close association with The Flight Safety Foundation, established the Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award in her honor. For the past 65 years, this distinguished award recognizing outstanding achievements in aviation safety worldwide has been presented at Flight Safety Foundation’s International Aviation Safety Seminar. In 2013, The Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Foundation was formed as an independent non-profit charitable organization composed of members of the Award Board, the aviation community, and the Barbour family. In addition to the annual presentation of the award, in 2019 the Foundation initiated a scholarship program that supports worthy students pursuing professional aviation studies. As the Foundation broadens its scope, the Laura Taber Barbour Air Safety Award will continue to recognize those who significantly contributed to aviation safety.
