Senators urge pilot retirement age rise as experience leads to fewer accidents In the letter published on November 20, 2024, lead signee Senator Marsha Blackburn and her colleagues said that data supported the argument that “experienced pilots have fewer accidents than junior pilots”. According to the letter, the ICAO recently “advanced formal action directed at raising or even eliminating the institution’s recommended pilot retirement age of 65 years” at the 14th Air Navigation Conference.

[FREE TO READ] "Fume events" are underreported, with a spokesperson for the Australian Federation of Air Pilots (AFAP) explaining that dangerous and potentially deadly #fumes on aircraft, especially older planes, are a much bigger problem than anyone realises. “The AFAP would like to see the Civil Aviation Safety Authority take this issue more seriously, including insisting that high-grade air filters be made mandatory for all commercial airliners flying in Australia, and that bleed air systems are redesigned in future aircraft. We should also see appropriate and accurate testing of fumes in aircraft cabins.” Fume events are the result of the long-term design flaw that sees bleed air mixed into cabin air across most aircraft makers, including Boeing and Airbus ... After a fume event on a Qantas National Jet Systems #B717 last year, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found that airborne contaminants “may result in the rapid onset of incapacitation, which although possibly subtle, can significantly affect the safety of flight”. “Contaminants from bleed air may be being inhaled unknowingly. It’s in the interest of aircrews and passengers that operators take this issue seriously and look for ways of mitigation — but that means spending money.” “The union is calling for aircraft to be refitted with total air filtration and stop using #bleedair that is run over engines.” Global Cabin Air Quality Executive (www.gcaqe.org)- Susan Michaelis PhD, MSc, ATPL, IOSH, IIRSM - IFALPA - Flight Attendants' Association of Australia (FAAA) - IFALPA #pilots #cabincrew #airlinecrew #cabinairfilter #aerotoxicsyndrome #airlines #fumes  #cabinairquality

The heroic efforts displayed by the pilots of Virgin Airlines Flight VA 148 are truly commendable. Following a bird strike that led to an engine fire shortly after taking off from Queenstown, New Zealand, the Boeing 737-800 jet was skillfully diverted, ensuring the safety of all on board. This incident is yet another example to highlight the critical need for effective wildlife hazard management plans to enhance aviation safety. Proactive measures and comprehensive hazard management strategies are essential to prevent such occurrences and safeguard both passengers and crew. Following a bird strike, there's a comprehensive investigation process that may not be widely known. The incident is reported to aviation authorities and wildlife teams. Evidence like bird remains or "snarge" is collected and identified, sometimes with airport biologists' help or DNA testing. The aircraft is assessed for damage, and wildlife management plans are reviewed and improved to prevent future incidents. Let's continue to prioritize and improve our wildlife hazard management efforts to ensure safer skies. #AviationSafety #BirdStrikePrevention #AviationHeroes #SafeSkies #VirginAirlines #AviationNews #BirdStrike

In a written statement to Parliament, the UK Foreign Secretary (David Lammy) has announced the suspension of certain export licences to Israel. “around 30” of the 350 export licences granted to Israel have been suspended including aircraft components and components that facilitate air to ground targeting. Lammy emphasised that this “is not a blanket ban” nor is it “an arms embargo” and the government will continually review its position. The UK’s Export Control Joint Unit (“ECJU”) has published a notice summarising the licences suspended and the impact on exporters, who will be contacted by the ECJU to confirm the decision. The ECJU has also amended the following open general licences: open general export licence (exports in support of Joint Strike Fighter: F-35 Lightning II); open general export licence PCBs and components for military goods; open general export licence technology for military goods; open general export licence software and source code for military goods; open general trade control licence for category C goods; and open general trade control licence trade and transportation: small arms and light weapons. Licences unaffected by the suspension include those for items not used by the Israeli Defence Forces in the current Israel-Gaza conflict (e.g. training equipment) and for items for civilian use. #Sanctions #Russia #EUCommission #ExportControl #TradeWar #TSECS #SanctionsUpdate #TurkishSociety #Sanctions #USA #OFAC #BIS #TradeUpdates #GlobalTrade #TradeCompliance #InternationalRelations #EconomicSanctions #TradeRegulations #TurkishExports #TradePolicy #SecurityMatters #ForeignPolicy #ComplianceNews #EconomicSecurity #CrossBorderBusiness

The Japanese dog Kabosu, whose image inspired the "Doge" meme and the $23 billion Dogecoin cryptocurrency, passed away on Friday, according to her owner. Atsuko Sato, Kabosu's owner, shared the news on her blog, saying, "She quietly passed away as if asleep while I caressed her. I think Kabo-chan was the happiest dog in the world. And I was the happiest owner." Kabosu, a rescue dog adopted from a puppy mill in 2008, became an internet sensation when Sato posted a picture of her crossing her paws on the sofa in 2010. This image spread across world, evolving into the popular "Doge" meme, often featuring goofy captions in broken English. The photo later sold as an NFT for $4 million and inspired Dogecoin, initially a joke cryptocurrency, which now holds a market capitalization of $23 billion. Dogecoin has been endorsed by celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Mark Cuban, and Gene Simmons, and is particularly championed by Elon Musk. #Dog #Memedog #Japan #Japanese #Crypto #Elonmusk #Dogecoin
