The crew declared PAN PAN, stopped the climb at 7000 feet and decided to return to Toronto. A short time later all instruments returned to normal operation, the crew however continued the return to Toronto and landed safely on Toronto's runway 33R about 30 minutes after departure. The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the left Air Data Computer, checked the systems without any further fault found and returned the aircraft to service. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4fab5b9b&opt=0 Incident: PIA A320 at Lahore on Jun 23rd 2022, bird strike A PIA Pakistan International Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration AP-BLW performing flight PK-258 from Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) to Lahore (Pakistan) with 168 people on board, was on final approach to Lahore's runway 36L when a bird struck the left hand engine (CFM56) and wing. The aircraft continued for a safe landing. The aircraft was unable to continue schedule and is still on the ground in Lahore about 11 hours after landing. The left hand engine shows damage to the leading edges of a number of fan blades, the leading edge of the hand wing also received a dent near the engine pylon. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4fab0d5c&opt=0 Incident: Croatia DH8D at Sarajevo on Jun 22nd 2022, hole in fuselage A Croatia Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration 9A-CQA performing flight OU-342 from Zagreb (Croatia) to Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), departed Zagreb's runway 04, climbed to FL210 and landed on Sarajevo's runway 11 about 30 minutes later. In a post flight inspection the crew discovered a 2x2cm hole in the fuselage and believed, the aircraft may have been shot at during the approach to Sarajevo. The aircraft is still on the ground in Sarajevo about 17 hours after landings. Bosnia and Herzegovina's States Prosecutor said, that no traces of gunpowder or any other particles which would indication a gun shot and concludes the hole was not created by a firearm. The airline stated that after landing damage was discovered, the safety of passengers was not endangered however. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4fab1003&opt=0 Accident: British Airways A319 at London on Jun 22nd 2022, fumes in cockpit trigger rapid disembarkation A British Airways Airbus A319-100, registration G-EUOA performing flight BA-1487 from Glasgow,SC to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was in flight when fumes were detected in the cockpit. The crew performed a NITS (Nature, Intention, Time, Special Instructions) preparing for a rapid disembarkation after landing. The aircraft landed safely on Heathrow's runway 09L, vacated the runway and stopped on the parallel taxiway for about 9 minutes before continuing to the apron. A rapid disembarkation followed. According to information The Aviation Herald received at least one, probably two crew members suffered health problems as result of the occurrence. The aircraft is still on the ground in London about 24 hours after landing. https://www.avherald.com/h?article=4fab178e&opt=0 Pilot reports seeing jet pack near LAX … again The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a commercial airline pilot reported seeing an object that resembled a jet pack near LAX. The sighting happened around 2:45 p.m. Thursday about 15 miles east of the airport. It’s not the first time the FAA has been alerted about possible jet pack sightings near LAX. Several sightings have been reported since October 2020 and there have been continued reported sightings every few months. The FAA has worked with the FBI to investigate each jet pack sighting, and so far none, including Thursday’s reported sighting, have been verified. In fact, back in November 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department released video of some strange looking balloons that they theorized could be responsible for the jet pack reports. The video, captured sometime in November 2020, shows a skeleton-like balloon, possibly an inflatable Jack Skellington from the “Nightmare Before Christmas” film. It remains unclear at this time what the reported jet pack sightings actually are, but some experts have said it’s unlikely to be a person due to the high altitude of the sightings. Another theory that has been floated, other than balloons, a high-powered drone with a mannequin attached. Perhaps we’ll never know for sure what’s behind the jet pack sightings at LAX, but it’s always fun to theorize. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/pilot-reports-seeing-jet-pack-near-lax-again/ Second Stint: Air India Looks To Hire Retired Pilots The carrier has asked more than 50 retired pilots to consider joining again. Air India is reportedly asking some of its retired pilots to join back as it looks to scale operations soon. With plenty of changes within the airline, including a potentially large order with Airbus, it is busy restructuring its workforce. Pilots needed Air India anticipates a shortage of qualified pilots for future operations and is looking at the recently retired batch to fulfill the demand for the next few years. According to The Times of India, the airline has sent a letter to around 55 retired pilots with plans to rehire them. More than 45 are believed to have said yes. The letter said that they are being considered for a post-retirement contract as Air India commanders for 5 years or until they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. “During the period of post-retirement contract, you will be paid the remuneration and flying allowances, as admissible, as per policy of Air India to such appointments,” the communication stated. New order fuels demand The reason behind a sudden need for pilots is said to be the large number of airplanes that are slated to join the airline’s fleet in the near future. Air India is reportedly set to receive around 200 to 300 aircraft from Airbus. Around 70% of the order is believed to be for narrowbody airplanes and the remaining for the widebody A350s. The airline is looking to hire senior commanders as it will be difficult to find experienced pilots in large numbers to meet its immediate demands. The TOI quotes a source familiar with the matter as saying, “Fleet expansion is a complicated business, especially for an airline like Air India that has a mix of Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Air India needs pilots. The first batch of pilots t0 be trained on the A350 will be senior pilots, the designated examiners and instructors. The airline will need to fill the posts they leave behind, but it’s not possible to expedite this kind of training and so there will be a shortage of cockpit crew, both on wide- and narrowbody fleets in the coming year.” The reason behind a sudden need for pilots is said to be the large number of airplanes that are slated to join the airline’s fleet in the near future. Retirement age The latest development comes even as the airline is looking to trim its workforce for other departments by offering a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS). It applies to some of the carrier’s permanent employees who have reached the age of 55 or have completed 20 years in the company. It is estimated that the scheme covers around 3,000 employees on the airline’s payroll. However, pilots were not included in that scheme. The retirement age for Air India pilots is 58 years, like all other employees. On the other hand, private airlines keep their pilots up to the age of 65. With Air India now becoming a private player itself, perhaps this could be one of the future changes within the airline. Before the COVID outbreak, Air India used to rehire retired pilots on contract, but the practice was discontinued in 2020. The contracts of such pilots were also terminated following the pandemic. https://simpleflying.com/air-india-looks-to-hire-retired-pilots/ American Airlines pilot calls on FAA to monitor airlines he says are scheduling more flights than they can staff Dennis Tajer of the Allied Pilots Association said airlines are running too many flights for them to handle. The spokesman for the American Airlines pilots' union called on the Federal Aviation Administration to monitor airlines that are scheduling flights they can't follow through on because of a pilot shortage. Dennis Tajer, a pilot who is the communications committee chairman for the Allied Pilots Association, which represents 15,000 American Airlines pilots, said Wednesday on CNBC that the shortage has led to training lapses and overtired pilots and that it could lead to unsafe skies. "I’m on TV as a representative for our union saying, ‘There’s a problem here,’” Tajer said. "The fact that you’re pushing us and pushing us, this is not a safety culture. The FAA should come in and look at this," he said. "They ought to come in and look at them trying to fly more airplanes than they can actually fly and building these schedules to an inhumane level and ultimately letting down our passengers and squandering our investors’ money." The FAA responded by saying it "maintains strict duty and rest regulations for pilots to ensure continued safety." Thousands of flights were canceled and delayed during the travel-heavy Juneteenth and Father’s Day holiday weekend, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Airlines had canceled more than 1,100 flights by early Friday afternoon after they canceled more than 1,700 the day before, according to The Associated Press. More than 6,300 flights were delayed within, into or leaving the U.S. on Saturday, and 859 flights were canceled, according to the flight tracking platform FlightAware. Airlines "looked at the demand, and they said: 'Here’s where the money is. Let’s go get it,'" Tajer said. "But they never had a plan to actually fulfill that, and they left it on our plate." Tajer said airlines have not properly used the money the U.S. government afforded them during the pandemic, adding to the problem. "This is a failure of management to utilize the money that was given to them by the American taxpayer to have us ready for the recovery, and we’re not," he said. "And now we’re starting to see them trying to cut corners in training." Tajer said an experienced instructor used to accompany newer pilots at the Guatemala City airport because of its rough terrain. "Now they’re telling us, 'Hey, why don't you take a look at this iPad course, and you’ll be good to go,'" he said. "They’re pilot-pushing, and they are narrowing the margin of safety," he added. Tajer's most recent workday was scheduled for 12 hours, he said. "That left me with about an hour to spare," Tajer said. "You have any hiccup there and it’s falling apart." "This is not the way to run a business," he added. American Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. The airline has announced that it will end services beginning in September to some airports in Iowa, New York and Ohio because of a pilot shortage. United Airlines, starting July 1, is cutting 50 flights from Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey "due to ongoing congestion challenges," the airline said. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/american-airlines-pilot-calls-faa-monitor-airlines-says-are-scheduling-rcna34978 Boeing Expands Safety Management System Data Analytics with Aireon Space-based ADS-B A computer generated depiction of Aireon's space-based ADS-B global surveillance network (Photo courtesy of Boeing) Aireon and Boeing announced a new agreement today that will add space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) surveillance data to the aircraft manufacturer’s internally operated safety data analytics suite. Under the new services agreement signed by the two companies, Aireon will provide historical and near real time aircraft event data to “select Boeing airplane programs,” according to the announcement. Space-based ADS-B data will be fed to data analytics tools being used as part of Boeing’s ongoing implementation and operation of an enterprise Safety Management System (SMS). Mike Delaney, who was appointed as Boeing’s chief aerospace safety officer by CEO David Calhoun last year after serving as an engineering executive over the last decade, first explained how the company was adopting the new SMS during an interview featured on a podcast internally distributed to Boeing employees in January called InsideBoeing. During the podcast, Delaney explained how the SMS was being voluntarily implemented and had already begun some initial benchmarking activity at Boeing Defence UK, a U.K.-based aerospace and defense facility operated by the company. Boeing also updated its SMS company policy memo in April, with a list of 10 key principles that define its SMS. The list includes the use of “actionable key performance metrics,” such as those that could be leveraged by the space-based ADS-B data that Aireon will provide to Boeing under their new agreement. Boeing Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) Chris Raymond also discussed the SMS rollout by Boeing during a recent appearance on a Jefferies Virtual A&D ESG Summit Conference webcast. “It's a system where you're really constantly receiving data and input. And to receive data and input, you need a culture where people want to speak up, and they realized that is what you want them to do and they're not hesitant to do that, whether they're in the supply base or they're in your operational customer sets or in your own employee base,” Raymond said. The FAA defines an SMS as a top-down structured process that requires aviation organizations to manage safety “with the same level of priority that other core business processes are managed.” The agency first started requiring commercial airlines authorized to conduct operations under 14 CFR Part 121 to implement an SMS in 2018. Vishwa Uddanwadiker, the safety analytics lead within Boeing’s Chief Aerospace Safety Office (CASO), told Avionics International in an emailed statement that Boeing already has access to ground-based ADS-B data, and incorporating the space-based global view will enhance their knowledge of “flight operations and performance during various phases of flight and help us build probabilistic risk models.” “It will provide us a holistic or broader view of our fleet and help us strengthen our safety management system implementation. Boeing will be able to analyze the flight path,” Uddanwadiker said. “The data can be used to help to identify hazards and monitor emerging safety trends. Expanding our stream of performance data supports our effort to proactively strengthen the safety of our products and services.” Uddanwadiker also confirmed that Boeing will not be using any of the space-based ADS-B data provided by Aireon for commercial services. AireonINSIGHTS, the Microsoft Azure-based platform that will feed Boeing’s SMS, is capable of combining space-based ADS-B data with aviation contextual data like infrastructure, weather, avionics, and aircraft registry and scheduling data, according to the company’s website. Since the introduction of its space-based ADS-B network in 2019, Aireon has continued to expand the number of services and applications powered by its global surveillance capability, including leveraging “advanced machine learning and analytics functionality” that could go beyond its core air navigation service provider (ANSP) customer base to support airlines, airport operators, leasing companies, and unmanned aircraft system operations, among others, according to a June 20 press release. Don Thoma, Aireon CEO, said the latest agreement “unlocks a cache of information for Boeing regarding the operations of its aircraft in the global airspace.” https://www.aviationtoday.com/2022/06/23/boeing-expands-safety-management-system-data-analytics-aireon-space-based-ads-b/ ‘Miracle on the Hudson’ pilot steps down from international post • C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the commercial pilot who safely landed an Airbus A320 on New York’s Hudson River in 2009 after hitting a flock of geese, said on Thursday he would step down as U.S. envoy to an international aviation group on July 1. • Sullenberger was confirmed in December as U.S ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization based in Montreal. • He said in a statement that “relinquishing my role” was not an easy decision but did not offer a reason for his departure after just over six months. C.B. “Sully” Sullenberger, the commercial pilot who safely landed an Airbus A320 on New York’s Hudson River in 2009 after hitting a flock of geese, said on Thursday he would step down as U.S. envoy to an international aviation group on July 1. Sullenberger was confirmed in December as U.S ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization based in Montreal. He said in a statement that “relinquishing my role” was not an easy decision but did not offer a reason for his departure after just over six months. The announcement comes a month after Sullenberger raised concerns about attempts by regional airlines to reduce pilot requirements that he warned would weaken safety. A State Department spokesperson said Sullenberger’s “indisputable credibility on aviation safety and security matters reinforced American leadership on those issues and strengthened our nation’s partnerships across the globe.” The United States is expected to play an important role at ICAO’s triennial assembly later this year, where countries are trying to broker a long-term agreement on aviation emissions including mandating more efficient future aircraft. Sullenberger has remained a vocal advocate for aviation safety and said Thursday his departure from ICAO “will not end is my determination to use my voice as an ardent advocate for the safety of everyone who flies.” “I am deeply committed to aviation safety and security – to the safety and wellbeing of all who fly,” he said, adding this commitment predated the 2009 “Miracle” flight and “will remain my focus as I return to private life.” Last month, a pilots union distributed a statement from Sullenberger raising concerns about efforts by regional airlines to reduce new pilot requirements, quoting him saying they were “trying to weaken critically important pilot experience standards that are needed to keep passengers and crews safe.” In 2019, Sullenberger testified before Congress in support of requiring pilots to get new simulator training before Boeing 737 MAX flights could resume following two fatal crashes. “Our current system of aircraft design and certification has failed us,” Sullenberger said. Congress in 2020 approved sweeping legislation to reform how the FAA certifies new airplanes. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/24/miracle-on-the-hudson-pilot-steps-down-from-international-post.html Committee urges FAA to improve safety risk assessments A US safety committee has recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration improve its process for evaluating safety risks associated with in-service aircraft types. The recommendations, detailed in a reported released on 22 June, address the same process the FAA used in late 2018, shortly after the first 737 Max crash, to evaluate the type’s troubled Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). That assessment predicted that MCAS, if not fixed, could cause 15 more fatal 737 Max crashes. Despite the finding, the FAA allowed the 737 Max to remain in service until after a second crash, in March 2019. The latest report comes from an aviation safety committee formed in response to those crashes. Specifically, the report was required by a December 2020 law that included several provisions intended to improve the FAA’s safety oversight. The report evaluates the FAA’s “Transport Airplane Risk Assessment Methodology”, known in regulatory-speak as TARAM. That method “outlines a process for calculating risk associated with continued-operational safety issues in the transport airplane fleet”, says the safety committee’s report. The risk assessments account for factors including the number of times a failure is likely to occur, the likely severity of the failure and the likely number of fatalities it could cause. The report makes several recommendations, including that the FAA better define the type operational data needed to properly evaluate risks, and how that data should be monitored and collected. It says the FAA must undertake that work in cooperation with airlines and aircraft manufacturers. The report also recommends that the FAA better evaluate the impact on its safety assessments of “human performance” – including the actions of pilots, flight attendants and maintainers. Additionally, the report notes that the FAA employs “only one” person who has expertise in its risk-assessments methods. It recommends that the agency, within six months, “formally designate multiple employees within its organisation as experts for the Transport Airplane Risk assessment Methodology”. Asked to comment, the FAA says, “We welcome outside scrutiny and are carefully reviewing the report”. Congressman Peter DeFazio, who played a role in writing the 2020 law, says the report “makes it very clear that the FAA can better fulfill its responsibility”. “The FAA must implement the critical recommendations included in this report without delay,” DeFazio adds. The report was written by a committee whose members included representatives from universities and current and former staffers from companies including Boeing, GE Aviation, Joby Aviation and American Airlines. The FAA used the TARAM process to evaluate the 737 Max’s MCAS following the October 2018 crash of a Lion Air 737 Max 8. The FAA published its resulting report, called a “Quantitative Risk Assessment”, in December of that year. The assessment determined that MCAS, if not fixed, would cause 15 more fatal crashes, and kill nearly 3,000 more people, during the Max’s in-service life. Statistically, the analysis predicted that a 737 Max would crash “every two years for the next 30 years”, with each crash killing everyone aboard, according to a US Congressional report. Still, the FAA did not immediately ground the Max; instead, it issued an airworthiness directive seeking to make pilots more aware of how to counter MCAS. That decision reflected the FAA’s expectation that “Boeing would have a fix for MCAS by July 2019”, Congress’ report said. “Until MCAS was fixed, however, the aircraft and its passengers were still at risk.” The FAA grounded the 737 Max in March 2019 following the second crash, that of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8. https://www.flightglobal.com/safety/committee-urges-faa-to-improve-safety-risk-assessments/149133.article Position Available: Director of Safety – Bloomington, MN Who Are We: Life Link III is a premier, nationally recognized air medical transport company, known for our clinical excellence, superior aviation program, and reliable response in providing care to critically ill or injured patients.
