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

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.

A groundbreaking concept in aviation safety—a plane with a detachable cabin! Imagine flying with the added assurance that, in an emergency, the cabin can safely detach from the aircraft. What do you think of this idea?

OTD in 2014 A catastrophic accident was only prevented by the electrical harness. A series of quality issues were found in the FIPS. In particular screws intended for another part of the unit had been fitted and bottomed out leading to a fatigue failure. https://lnkd.in/eyAt-Ms #helicopter #airworthiness #qualitymanagement #humanfactors #flightsafety #aviationsafety #sar #searchandrescue #coastguard

Flight crews often see the awesome wonder of God’s creation outside their flying aircraft. That creation might seem much bigger than the salvation of a single human soul at such a moment. But is it? The transformation of a wicked heart may seem small by comparison with the establishment of the planets and stars, of an entire universe, but do we see things rightly in this regard? As awesome as the natural creation is (and we dare not trivialize its grandeur in the least) there is something about the alteration of a human soul given over to moral depravity, a soul worthy of Hell, that is simply astonishing. Salvation may seem to work in the comparatively very small physical arena of the human heart, but in the realm of the spiritual its operation might completely eclipse the creation of the largest galaxy in the eternal sense. That galaxy may someday be completely gone. In contrast, a single human soul will exist forever. For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Is this a cast member from Thomas the Tank Engine? No, the so-named KiwiRail EM80 is a serious piece of technology. It's a track inspector. Here it is journeying through the new City Rail Link tunnels for the first time. It's a busy machine, travelling the entire New Zealand railway network every six months to evaluate track geometry, alignment, and smoothness. #rail #railway #railwaytracks #tunnels
