The crew performed an approach to Raleigh's runway 23L but needed to go around, then entered a hold. The crew reported they had lost green and yellow hydraulic systems and needed to work out whether they had sufficient runway length for a flaps up landing. The aircraft landed on runway 23L at a higher than normal speed (about 180 knots over ground) about 70 minutes after leaving FL360. A replacement A321-200N registration N2044J reached Fort Lauderdale with a delay of about 6.5 hours. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Raleigh about 15.5 hours after landing. The FAA reported: "jetBlue Airways Flight 369 landed safely at Raleigh-Durham International Airport around 11:20 p.m. local time on Tuesday, May 28, after the crew reported a possible hydraulic issue. Passengers deplaned on the runway and were bused to the terminal. The Airbus A321 departed from Boston Logan International Airport and was headed to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The FAA will investigate." https://avherald.com/h?article=5193cb15&opt=0 Incident: American A319 at Washington on May 29th 2024, rejected takeoff due to operational error An American Airlines Airbus A319-100, registration N812AW performing flight AA-2134 from Washington National,DC to Boston,MA (USA), was cleared for takeoff from runway 01. At the same time a King Air was cleared to land on crossing runway 33. Tower finally noticed the developing conflict and cancelled the takeoff clearance for AA-2134 and instructed the King Air to go around. AA-2134 rejected takeoff at about 80 KIAS, the King Air advised they could not go around anymore as they were already on the ground. The A319 returned to the apron for a maintenance inspection and departed again about 4:15 hours after the rejected takeoff. https://avherald.com/h?article=5193d099&opt=0 Accident: KLM Cityhopper E190 at Amsterdam on May 29th 2024, person ingested into engine A KLM Cityhopper Embraer ERJ-190, registration PH-EZL performing flight KL-1341 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Billund (Denmark), was preparing for departure, at least one engine (CF34) was already running during push back, when a person was ingested into the engine and was killed. The airline reported a horrific accident happened when a person ended up in an engine of flight KL-1341. The DSB announced three investigators have been dispatched on site of the accident. The aircraft is still on the ground in Amsterdam. https://avherald.com/h?article=5193b8d4&opt=0 Fighter jet crash in Albuquerque prompts questions on F-35 program ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It’s been more than 24 hours since an F-35B fighter jet crashed in Albuquerque. Crews are still working on cleaning up the crash site. Despite some criticism on the cost and efficiency of the F-35 program, the jets are considered relatively safe. Dan Grazier with the Stimson Center told KOB 4 that in the U.S. no crashes have resulted in deaths. Lockheed Martin had confirmed that the jet was traveling from Fort Worth, Texas to Edwards Air Force Base in California when it stopped at Kirtland Air Force Base to refuel. It crashed shortly after taking off from Kirtland AFB. The pilot – who ejected before impact – was taken to UNM Hospital. “From a safety standpoint, the F-35 so far is a remarkably safe aircraft,” Grazier said. “When you consider the number of aircrafts that are being built, the number of flight hours that the program has accumulated since they started flying back in 2006, the crashes are actually relatively rare.” Grazier said the F-35 program is the largest, most expensive military acquisition program in history – right now the total program costs about $2 trillion. F-35s are the first line of defense for the U.S. and our allies. The F-35B, which is the model in this crash, costs about $145 million. https://www.kob.com/new-mexico/fighter-jet-crash-in-albuquerque-prompts-questions-on-f-35-program/ Boeing set to deliver ‘comprehensive’ plan to regulators on upgrading safety Boeing is expected to deliver on Thursday a “comprehensive action plan” required by US air safety regulators after a near-catastrophic incident in January. The American aeronautics giant has faced intense scrutiny following manufacturing problems and pointed testimonials from whistleblowers in the aftermath of fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 that have kept the company in the headlines for unwanted reasons. On January 5 a Boeing 737 MAX 9 operated by Alaska Airlines made an emergency landing after a fuselage panel blew out mid-flight. The jet had only been delivered by Boeing to the carrier in October. Shortly after the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily grounded 171 MAX jets with the same configuration, following the latest production problem after Boeing struggled for much of 2023 to maintain and boost output on the MAX and its other bestseller, the 787 Dreamliner. A preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board published in February found that four bolts securing the panel that blew off were missing. “Boeing must commit to real and profound improvements,” FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said on February 28. At that time, the FAA gave Boeing 90 days to produce “a comprehensive action plan to address its systemic quality-control issues to meet FAA’ s non-negotiable safety standards.” The plan will be submitted to the FAA Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter. The regulator plans a press conference that day with Whitaker “on the FAA’ s ongoing work to hold Boeing accountable for safety and production quality issues,” an FAA advisory released Wednesday said. Contacted by AFP, Boeing declined to comment. The plan is also supposed to address problems at Boeing uncovered during an audit by an FAA advisory board of experts. In mid-May chief executive Dave Calhoun spoke of the lengthy process ahead. “We anticipate the FAA will take whatever time is necessary to review that plan and hold us accountable to the various control parameters that are put in place as we move forward,” he told a shareholder meeting. “This is more of a beginning than it is an end.” Confusion The audit, commissioned after fatal MAX plane crashes in 2018 and 2019, pointed to a “disconnect” between senior company management and other Boeing employees and skepticism that safety complaints by workers would not result in retaliation. “The procedures and training are complex and in a constant state of change, creating employee confusion especially among different work sites and employee groups,” said an executive summary. The analysis identified 27 points of concern and offered 53 recommendations, including steps to standardize safety training, enhance transparency in the handling of employee complaints and improve systems to grant pilots more influence on safety and training matters. After those two MAX crashes, which led to 346 fatalities, Boeing in January 2021 reached a settlement with the US Department of Justice over criminal charges. Boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion under the settlement, which placed the company on probation for three years, after which the charges would be dismissed if the company fulfilled its obligations. But on May 14, the DOJ determined Boeing “breached its obligations” under the settlement, opening the door to possible prosecution. US officials gave Boeing until June 13 to respond with input that the United States “shall consider in determining whether to pursue prosecution” of the company. Boeing is also in the midst of an executive search after announcing on March 25 that Calhoun would step down as CEO at the end of 2024, part of a leadership shakeup that also replaced the head of commercial plane production and the chair of the board of directors. Until the Alaska Airlines incident, Boeing appeared poised to exit a period of financial hardship following the MAX crashes and the Covid-19 downturn. The company had been eyeing the 2025-26 period as a time of greater free cash flow following a production ramp-up. The company hopes to eventually produce 50 MAX planes per month. But those targets appear less certain now. The FAA has capped MAX monthly production at 38 until it demonstrates improvement. https://english.alarabiya.net/News/united-states/2024/05/30/boeing-set-to-deliver-comprehensive-plan-to-regulators-on-upgrading-safety- IOSA and the Evolution of Global Aviation Safety Standards In September 2023, at the IATA World Safety and Operations Conference in Vietnam, aviation celebrated two decades of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). In that time, IOSA has made a significant contribution to air safety. It is now an internationally recognized evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. Notably, IOSA-registered carriers consistently outperform non-registered counterparts in safety metrics. Since 2005, the all-accident rate for airlines on the IOSA registry is 1.40 per million sectors, compared with 3.49 per million sectors for non-IOSA airlines. In 2022, IOSA-registered carriers outperformed those not on the registry by a factor of four (0.70 accidents per million sectors vs. 2.82 accidents per million sectors). This success has prompted a call for more regulators to incorporate IOSA into safety oversight programs, emphasizing its global significance. Reflecting the strong safety performance of airlines on the IOSA registry, IATA began IOSA’s third decade with a call for: • Regulators to recognize the significant contribution to safety that IOSA makes as the global standard for airline operational safety and to incorporate IOSA into their own safety regulatory oversight programs. • Airlines not yet on the IOSA registry to join. As of end February 2024, 425 operators are on the IOSA registry, of which 100 are non-IATA members. • Transitioning to Risk-based IOSA IOSA was launched in 2003 in close cooperation with aviation regulatory bodies, including Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Transport Canada. It became mandatory for IATA membership in 2006 and has also become a requirement for global airline alliances and various regional associations. Furthermore, many regulators worldwide utilize IOSA to complement safety oversight programs and verify operational safety for codeshare arrangements. With the industry adoption of IOSA in the past two decades, the program has become the industry benchmark in safety auditing, contributing to safety performance enhancement and providing extensive cost-saving measures for IOSA participating airlines. Nevertheless, as the IOSA program matures, it has become clear that moving away from the one-size-fits all model is the best response to the dynamic aviation landscape. IATA has therefore evolved IOSA into a risk-based model, tailoring audits to operators' profiles and focusing on high-risk areas. Another key addition is a maturity assessment for safety-critical systems and programs. Going beyond a checklist that ensures minimum safety standards are met across the breadth of airline operations, risk-based IOSA assesses how well an airline manages safety and provide a safety evaluation based on industry priorities and critical airline operations. The information obtained from risk-based audits helps airlines and the industry stay on top of evolving safety risks and enable airlines to continuously improve their safety and quality management performance. Risk-Based IOSA The evolution to risk-based IOSA has introduced a safety maturity assessment alongside baseline safety, enhancing audit effectiveness and contributing to the broader industry goal of reducing accident rates. Tailored Audit Scope Under a Risk-based IOSA, the safety audit scoping considers industry standards and operator-specific elements. For instance, in response to the increasing global runway excursion rate, a risk-based approach prioritizes IOSA Standards and Recommended Practices (ISARPs) related to runway excursions, audited in-depth at regular intervals. Unlike the traditional approach where all ISARPs are audited universally, risk-based IOSA tailors the scope to the operator's profile and audit history. ISARPs with low criticality may be audited less frequently, allowing a focused effort on high criticality ISARPs. Maturity Assessment The safety maturity assessment in Risk-based IOSA offers a structured and comprehensive evaluation of an airline's relevant safety systems and programs. This provides valuable insights for determining the next steps in improving operational safety. In addition to the maturity assessment, the program maintains a baseline of conformity with ISARPs, differentiating it from the conventional conformity assessment. This dual approach ensures a thorough examination of safety best practices, encouraging continuous improvement. Added Value Over the last 20 years, IOSA has become the industry benchmark in aviation safety auditing. With Risk-based IOSA, the program provides industry stakeholders with additional value: • A tailored and reduced audit scope, focusing efforts where they are needed the most. • Improved audit methods through a safety maturity evaluation. • Better management and standardization of auditors. • The capture of safety insights to deliver safety improvements and a reduction in local accident rates. • New insights through an improved safety audit report. • Long-term sustainability of the IOSA program through direct management of insourced products. 2023 Risk-based IOSA summary Successful completion of the trial audit phase by the IOSA Oversight Group, leading to the full operational status of risk-based IOSA. 25 risk-based IOSA audits were conducted. 150 risk-based IOSA auditors were recruited. 11 worldwide workshops on the risk-based IOSA program were delivered, engaging 267 airlines and 25 regulators. IOSA Standards Manual (ISM) In conjunction with IOSA standards, IATA offers the IOSA Standards Manual (ISM) in an XML format for integration into safety and quality management software. The manual comprises ISARPs and accompanying IOSA checklists—critical components of IOSA for the operator and auditors. IOSA Members use the ISM to prepare for audits, ensuring ongoing flight safety. They also benefit from IOSA XML data files in two modules: safety management and content management. These are designed to ensure operational efficiencies when preparing and conducting ongoing safe operations.. IOSA XML and Regulatory Cross-Reference (X-Ref) Modules: Efficiency Unleashed Experience operational efficiency with our IOSA XML modules tailored for both air operators (IOSA members and non-members preparing for audits) and audit, safety management, and content management software providers. These modules facilitate the seamless integration of ISARPs into operational software, reducing manual efforts and operational costs. The X-Ref module streamlines efficient cross-referencing of airworthiness regulations (FAA, EASA, ICAO) within ISM ISARPs and refers to the relevant ISM edition at the time. A Safer Future in Aviation As risk-based IOSA takes center stage, the aviation industry can expect tailored audits, comprehensive assessments, and a continuous commitment to safety improvement. With the future launch of a safety collaboration platform and ongoing cooperation with regulators, IATA ensures that risk-based IOSA remains a cornerstone of global aviation safety. This evolution promises a safer, more efficient future for airlines and their customers . https://www.iata.org/en/publications/newsletters/iata-knowledge-hub/iosa-and-the-evolution-of-global-aviation-safety-standards/ Boeing making progress on 737 MAX engine issue delaying certification of some models WASHINGTON, May 29 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab said on Wednesday it was making progress on developing a permanent solution to address an issue with the 737 MAX engine anti-ice system that has delayed certification of the smallest model, the MAX 7 and the largest, the MAX 10. The issue with the anti-ice system could lead to it overheating and potentially causing an engine failure. A source told Reuters that Boeing plans to conduct flight testing on the anti-ice fix later this year and said certification of the MAX 7 could slip to mid-2025. Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West said in January the anti-ice fix could be addressed "within a year." Boeing has 35 MAX 7 and MAX 10 planes in inventory. Boeing, under scrutiny over its safety record after the mid-air blowout of a cabin panel on a MAX 9, in January withdrew a request it filed with the Federal Aviation Administration last year seeking an exemption from a safety standard for the MAX 7 over the issue, which pushed potential certification into 2025. The Air Current, an aviation trade publication, reported earlier on Wednesday that the fix Boeing has settled on will result in delaying certification of the MAX 7 and 10 deep into 2025 at the earliest. The FAA, which has repeatedly declined to put any timetable on approval, said on Wednesday it "will thoroughly review any design Boeing submits." Senator Tammy Duckworth in January had urged Boeing to abandon the exemption request, saying the issue could "cause the engine nacelle to break apart and fall off. This could generate fuselage-penetrating debris, which could endanger passengers in window seats behind the wing." Boeing said there have been no safety incidents observed in service stemming from overheating in the engine inlet. The planemaker issued guidance to airlines last June to follow established procedures when using the MAX's engine anti-ice system to address potential overheating, and the FAA last August mandated the existing procedure to turn off the engine anti-ice system when it is no longer needed. Southwest Airlines (LUV.N), opens new tab, the MAX 7's biggest buyer, said in January it no longer expected to take deliveries of the model this year. Boeing has said it must first win approval from the FAA for the MAX 7 before it can get the larger, better-selling MAX 10 certified. After its best-selling MAX family of jets resumed service following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, Boeing at one point forecast it would win certification approval for the MAX 7 and MAX 10 by the end of 2022. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-says-its-making-progress-737-max-anti-ice-engine-issue-2024-05-29/ FAA investigates after planes almost collide on runway at Reagan National Airport ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating after two planes almost collided at Reagan National Airport (DCA) on Wednesday morning, according to ABC News. According to the FAA, an air traffic controller canceled the takeoff clearance for an American Airlines flight as a smaller King Air plane was cleared to land on an intersecting runway. Air traffic control data retrieved from LiveATC revealed that the King Air plane was already on the ground as the takeoff clearance for American Airlines was canceled. The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. A similar situation occurred on April 18 when a JetBlue plane and a Southwest Airlines plane almost collided as they crossed over the same runway. American Airlines shared the following statement: “The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority, and we’re grateful to our crew for their professionalism. We will support the FAA in its investigation.” After 7News reported on this incident, Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) pointed to a recent bill passed by Congress that would bring more flights to DCA, saying, "...this incident underscores again that DCA is at capacity. This shows why Senate action to jam even more flights into DCA was so dangerous." The $105 million bill, which was approved on May 15, would increase the number of air traffic controllers, add more safety inspectors and require airlines to pay refunds to travelers whose flights are canceled or significantly delayed. https://wjla.com/news/local/two-planes-almost-collide-dca-ronald-reagan-washington-national-airport-washington-dc-american-airlines-king-air-faa-investigation-intersecting-runway-federal-aviation-administration-flight-safety How Pilots Predict Severe Turbulence Severe turbulence events are rare, but they do happen. Following the Singapore Airlines severe turbulence encounter last week, many are concerned about other potential events in the future. Significant turbulence events are not particularly uncommon – a Hawaiian Airlines flight made headlines last year, and a Southwest flight was forced to divert due to turbulence earlier this spring – but the Singapore Airlines flight brought the first turbulence-related fatality in years. This flight begs the question of how pilots, dispatchers, air traffic controllers, and other stakeholders can predict turbulence and avoid it. Detecting turbulence can be difficult, and not all turbulence is predictable, but there are ways to identify where it could occur. Convective Activity The biggest indicator of turbulence is convective activity. When unstable air is allowed to rise – by a lifting force such as a front or a mountain range – its movement becomes what we call turbulence. Pilots can identify where convective action is occurring to pinpoint areas where they could experience turbulence. The easiest way to identify areas of convective turbulence is to look at clouds. When clouds become vertically developed – when they extend high into the sky in puffs – it is likely that turbulence is present because air needs to be pushed upwards considerably to allow moisture to condense into towering clouds. The same is true with heavy, showery rain: such comes about when air is forced upwards enough to create rain. In heavy storms, the turbulence is compounded by downdrafts that force rain to the surface, passing through the updrafts that allow the storm to develop in the first place. Mountain Waves Another place where turbulence is common is over mountain ranges. Mountains provide a natural lifting mechanism for unstable air, allowing air to rise and move around more strongly. This extra movement is often most noticeable the closer you are to the mountains, which is why mountainous areas often have the bumpiest takeoffs and landings. These are commonly referred to as mountain waves. Pilots have additional tools to help them predict turbulence. In the United States, the Aviation Weather Center – part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – creates aviation-specific weather reports and forecasts to help crew identify weather patterns conducive to atmospheric instability. Most important are inflight aviation weather advisories called AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and Convective SIGMETs. AIRMETs apply mostly to smaller aircraft; they pertain to activies such as areas of low clouds and visibility and moderate turbulence. SIGMETs and Convective SIGMETs apply to all aircraft regardless of size. Convective SIGMETs are the most applicable for finding areas of extreme turbulence. They may be issued for things such as lines of severe thunderstorms called squall lines; tornadoes; embedded thunderstorms; surface winds greater than 50 knots; and more. These provide pilots with information on the areas most critical to avoid inflight. New Tools Available There are also third-party apps that help crews and even passengers, predict where the smoothest rides will be. They take weather and pilot reports to make assessments and predictions about where the smoothest rides will be, allowing for safer, more comfortable trips. They also use real-time data to cross-check the accuracy of their systems. In addition, pilots are able to use a reporting system – called PIREPs – to warn others of their observations, including icing and turbulence. Crews use these reports and predictions to make decisions about which routes to take, which altitudes to fly, or even whether to fly at all. Not every bit of turbulence is predictable, though. There is another type of turbulence called “clear air turbulence” that can seemingly appear out of nowhere and will not show up on radar. This type of turbulence tends to take pilots by surprise and does not provide any possibility of avoidance. This is a big reason why pilots and cabin crew tell passengers to fasten their seatbelts whenever seated, even if the seatbelt sign is off: if turbulence suddenly takes an aircraft by surprise, passengers reduce their own risk if they are already strapped in. Severe and extreme turbulence events are still exceedingly rare in the context of how many commercial flights operate each day. https://www.flyingmag.com/general/how-pilots-predict-severe-turbulence/ Atlas to end Amazon flying after 'woefully' low utilisation Pilots have reported that Amazon and Atlas Air have ended their CMI contract. Next month, Atlas will reportedly begin phasing-out flying its 17 767-300Fs for Amazon, to cease entirely by June next year, while the eight 737-800Fs will begin to be phased out in January 2025. According to pilots at a ‘town hall’ meeting this week, the 767s will go to new customers in South America and Pan Pacific – Hong Kong, South-east Asia and Australia – while the 737s are expected to move over to Atlas subsidiary Titan, which offers dry leasing. The pilots said no furloughs had been announced, but that the changes would affect some 760 crew. Meanwhile, Atlas is expected to take delivery of eight widebody aircraft this year, 777s and 747s, requiring 240 crew. One pilot on a forum believed it was the right thing to do. “The Amazon flying is quite a few airframes, but the utilisation has been woefully low, and the staffing levels Amazon required had been ridiculously high. “It’s no secret we have been losing a lot of money every year from that flying, so getting rid of it is a good decision.” Another pilot said: “Personally, I think it’s all going to be fine. It’ll take a combination of more new airplanes, attrition even, if it’s slightly reduced than years past, and maybe some creative stuff, like offering reduced flying lines. “Considering Atlas has been consistently limited by pilot hiring/retention, it will be interesting to see what the company can do with a bunch of available pilots in one hand and a near-unlimited amount of money [from owner Apollo] to buy aircraft in the other.” One issue for the pilots is the quality of life they had from the Amazon regional contracts. “It sucks for the guys who live in CVG (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky) and enjoy the crazy quality of life those fleets have provided, but for the company, this is a very good move,” said another pilot. While Atlas CEO Michael Steen has apparently promised to retain pilots, and work with the union to ensure collective bargaining agreement (CBA) compliance, the future for many is “undetermined”. One pilot noted: “There is a displacement process defined in the CBA. Hopefully, retirements and resignations will capture most of the excess. Definitely a hiring slowdown should be expected.” Pilots indicated that the new eight widebody aircraft arriving this year would replace the majority of block hours lost from the Amazon contract. “We will be heavy on pilots for a while, but natural attrition will take care of that,” said one pilot. Earlier this month it was confirmed that ATSG, under its ABX Air brand, would add 10 767-300Fs to its fleet on a CMI basis, as part of an expanded five-year agreement with Amazon – so far ABX has only flown 767-200Fs for the retailer. Pilot speculation around the fate of the Atlas Amazon fleet focused on aircraft going to ABX Air, Alaska, Sun Country or Mesa. Amazon has been struggling to compete with lower-cost ecommerce outfits, such as Shein and Temu, but is also fighting traditional retailers, such as Walmart, and has been shifting its strategy. Atlas Air, its pilots union, and Amazon have been approached for comment. However, an Atlas Air representative told The Loadstar the company is currently in its quiet period in advance of its quarterly earnings release to lenders and bond holders, and would not be able to comment until this had taken place tomorrow. Atlas began flying for Amazon in 2016, with 10-year dry lease contracts for 20 767-300Fs, and a CMI contract of seven years. https://theloadstar.com/exclusive-atlas-to-end-amazon-flying-after-woefully-low-utilisation/ CALENDAR OF EVENTS • Blazetech - Aircraft Fire Hazards, Protection, and Investigation Course June 4 - 7, 2024 • (APTSC) Asia and Pacific Turboprop Safety Conference - June 26 - 27, 2024 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia • Airborne Public Safety Association, Inc.
