Amid violent unrest in New Caledonia, the governments of Australia and New Zealand are sending planes to evacuate their nationals. Hundreds of tourists have been trapped in hotels due to the turmoil. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed that French authorities have authorized two evacuation flights, with additional flights being planned. Approximately 300 Australians are currently in New Caledonia. New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters announced that an initial flight would bring home 50 passengers with urgent needs, with more flights to follow. The French High Commission in New Caledonia reported that the airport remains closed for commercial flights, leaving around 3,200 people stranded. The unrest in New Caledonia began over changes to the constitution that would allow more migrants, primarily from France, to vote, sparking deadly riots after the National Assembly approved the changes. The riots have led to six deaths, hundreds of injuries, and widespread destruction, including looted and burnt businesses and road barricades. The indigenous Kanak people fear the new voting rules will dilute their political influence. French authorities are deploying additional military and police forces to protect public buildings and maintain order. New Caledonia, a French territory since 1853, holds significant geopolitical and economic importance to France, especially as a major producer of nickel, essential for electric vehicle batteries. Source: AFP, AP, Reuters So what It is surprising to me that these evacuations have taken so long, it is likely that if the country was not controlled by France then they would have happened much sooner. One trouble, particularly for NZ will be a lack of air assets, limiting the number of trips and likely leading to a reliance on Australia to evacuate some of our citizens. Regardless, this is a great example of why countries, even little old New Zealand need a defence force, because you never know where and when you will need them.

Shenzhou-19 Crew Update: Research & Maintenance Tasks | China Space Station FriendsofNASA.org | Full article: https://lnkd.in/gbvwsr8u China's Shenzhou-19 crew members have completed a range of tasks during their over-one-month stay aboard the orbiting Tiangong space station, including scientific research and experiments and space station maintenance work. The crew members—Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze—were sent into the Tiangong Space Station on October 30, 2024, for a six-month mission. During their flight, the three astronauts will conduct 86 space science research and technology experiments. During research on the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of fruit flies under a weak magnetic field in space, the crew completed operations, including clearing petri dishes for the fruit flies and replacing the gas purification components in the life science experimental facility. Meanwhile, ongoing research is being conducted on the impact of phase separation of biological entities on lipid metabolism in microgravity. The crew members have also conducted several other tasks, including replacing the burner inside the combustion science experimental cabinet, setting and restoring the states of vacuum extraction and exhaust emission, as well as replacing samples in the fluid physics experimental cabinet. In the field of space medicine experiments, the crew members employed a visual function measurement instrument, an eye tracker, and visual gravity representation testing software to conduct research on the representation and dynamic processing mechanisms of gravity in visual motion. This research delves into the influence of gravity environments on the sensitivity of human visual biological motion perception and how weightlessness changes these perceptual sensitivities. It aims to provide a scientific basis for human exploration in deep space and adaptation to diverse gravity environments in the future. To ensure a long-term stable operation of the space station, the crew members have completed the installation of forward and aft hatch protection devices against space debris. Through physical shielding, these devices effectively mitigate the adverse effects caused by impacts from small space debris on the hatches. Additionally, the astronauts have also completed tasks such as cleaning, inspecting maintenance in each module, and sorting supplies on the space station and the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft.

A Saudi aircraft that made an emergency landing at Karachi airport 13 years ago is set to be transferred to Hyderabad on November 21. The 60-ton, 160-foot-long MD 83 aircraft will be moved using a specialized trailer equipped with German technology, managed by New Babar Cargo Movers. Project Director Munir Alam stated that the aircraft will travel from Malir National Highway through Gharo and Thatta to the Civil Aviation Authority’s training center in Hyderabad. To minimize traffic disruption, the aircraft has been divided into two parts, and all necessary permits have been obtained. The MD 83 made an emergency landing on December 25, 2011, due to a malfunctioning nose wheel while en route from Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, to Quetta, carrying a Saudi prince and 72 crew members, all of whom were unharmed. This transfer marks the second aircraft delivered to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority’s training institute, following the recent transport of a Boeing aircraft. #AircraftTransfer #CivilAviation #Hyderabad #EmergencyLanding #AviationHistory

Discussions about separating Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal’s(CAAN) regulatory and service provider roles has now taken centre stage. Although this issue has long been a key topic in aviation discussions, recent aircraft accidents have highlighted the pressing need for a thorough reform of CAAN’s regulatory responsibilities and enhanced safety oversight. Why is it problematic for CAAN to hold dual roles, and why is there a persistent push to separate its regulatory and operational responsibilities?

Nepal Overflight Permit | [email protected] If you're an operator of a business jet or a commercial airline with plans to flyover Nepal airspace, obtaining a Nepal Overflight Permit from the Nepal Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is mandatory. As a flight dispatcher, it's important to have a good understanding of the requirements for obtaining this permit, including the fact that the issuing of an overflight permit confirms that there is no political or security objection to your airline, aircraft, or country of origin/destination and that there are no outstanding navigation fees due to the ATC authority. https://lnkd.in/deHP9CH

There was recently a strange incident with a break of cockpit access rules on a SriLankan Airlines Official flight. The facts are still under investigation but what is known so far is that the co-pilot left the cockpit for a restroom break and the captain was left alone in the cockpit. When the co-pilot wanted to come back, the captain did keep the cockpit door locked. The co-pilot could only re-enter the cockpit after the cabin crew convinced the captain over the internal communication system. Our article summarizes the known facts - you know us, no speculation - and also explains how the Airbus cockpit door system works to prevent both unauthorized access, even if the intruder know the secret code, while being safe in case of pilot incapacitation. https://lnkd.in/dE4FY8Pr
