Boeing’s Post

Experts from around the globe gathered in Washington, DC, earlier this week for our 68th Air Safety Forum. With the theme "Moving Forward Together," our four-day conference offered unmatched discussions on critical topics facing not just the piloting profession but the entire industry.

The problems discussed in this article are long term and systemic. While in graduate school I spent some time looking into Americas Maritime heavy lift capabilities, lack of shipyard capacity, disappearance of US flagged shipping (Controlled surge capabilities), etc...time is well past "growing short" and immediate action is required. https://lnkd.in/etEbPASK

Having a contingency plan and preparing for potential crisis scenarios is crucial for any organization, no matter the industry. Embracing Murphy's Law and acknowledging what can go wrong are the keys to proactive management. ANISHA SAMANTA applies this approach to Boeing's recovery strategy following the Alaska Airlines incident involving the 737 MAX 9 aircraft on January 5th.

GPS Spoofing Report from OpsGroup: OpsGroup has released a comprehensive report on GPS spoofing, highlighting the significant risks and challenges associated with this issue. The report, developed by a workgroup of over 950 experts including pilots, air traffic controllers, regulatory authorities, and industry group members emphasized the dangers of GPS spoofing, where false signals trick GPS receivers into calculating incorrect positions. This can lead to severe navigation errors, potentially causing aircraft to deviate from their intended paths and into no-fly zones where there are conflicts. The report also notes a dramatic increase in spoofing incidents, now affecting an average of 1,500 flights per day, up from 300 earlier in the year. 8 overall safety concerns and 33 specific concerns were raised in the report. The risks to these are increased in the winter when visibility is low and cold weather brings icing. Nation state actors operating in the interest of geopolitical and ideological tendencies are considered the main threats with a possible widening of locations and impacts. While there are no quick solutions, the report suggests focusing on short-term mitigation strategies and long-term improvements in hardware, avionics, and system components. Additionally, it stresses the importance of maintaining the network of conventional ground-based navigation aids to reduce the over-reliance on GPS until a more resilient solution is developed. https://lnkd.in/g3jFb4hK https://lnkd.in/gPTHFGnm

“If you focus on the details and make the client’s life easy, you are likely to continue to succeed.” We have a 25 year old playbook navigating unique trip plans full of strategies, challenges, execution, and ultimately success stories. As we look ahead to the next 25 years of Air Planning, I'm here to run your unique travel challenges through our playbook to add yet another successful trip to the Air Planning story. Cheers to 25, AP!

How you communicate on safety, especially when it is to the general public, requires careful phrasing and clarity especially given the context in which it is being delivered. There should be no room for misinterpretation or ambiguity. The following is a terrible turn of phrase the head of the FAA Michael Whitaker has used here: Whitaker told ABC News the 90-day plan, due next week, “is not the end of the process. It’s the beginning and it’s going to be a long road to get Boeing back to where they need to be making safe airplanes”. So are Boeing going to be producing unsafe airplanes until that point is reached or is all manufacture going to stop until then? I think not and I also believe with the current level of scrutiny and oversight, unsafe airplanes are not going to be leaving any of the Boeing factories. I really believe that what the intent was, and what should have been said is: “….is not the end of the process. Whilst a basic level of safety and quality has been reestablished in the meantime, it’s the beginning and it’s going to be a long road to get Boeing back to where they need to be to return to a point where they excel in safety and quality in the manufacture of their airplanes and regain their status of a world-leading aircraft manufacturer”. Safety communications are extremely important and how you frame a message and the nuances of the wording you use can greatly influence the meaning of the message. #sms #safetymanagement #safetycommunications #qualitymanagement #boeing #FAA
