aviationgoals are a relatively common occurrence, particularly in the summer months. Thankfully though, the vast majority of strikes cause no damage, but the threat of a more serious bird strike is very real. As a result, it's vital that properly tested procedures are trained and implemented, so that serious incidents can be avoided. There are a number of bird strike prevention strategies in place, such as airports continually monitoring for birds and implementing bird scaring procedures to deter birds from congregating around the airfield. Pilot training also plays a big role. If a bird is on a collision course with an aircraft, by the time the crew see it, it's unlikely that avoiding action will be possible. So it's more often a case of accepting the fact that a bird strike is about to occur and then ensuring that any damage is minimised. We can achieve this by maintaining as low a thrust setting as possible, as it's been shown that bird ingestion into an engine at lower thrust settings will cause less damage than if it were at high thrust. The natural response from a crew that sees a flock of birds on final approach is to go around, but by initiating a go around, thrust is significantly increased and the extra noise can scare the birds. And when birds feel threatened, their natural response is to also go up - potentially into the path of the aircraft that's now going around. If a bird were to now go down an engine, the likelihood of the engine suffering damage has significantly increased due to the higher thrust setting. Therefore, as counter intuitive as it is, industry best practice is to continue the approach, with as low a thrust setting as possible when a crew sees birds on approach.

FLY LIGHTS🪰🪰 most people think fly lights are a fly solution. They're not. Fly lights are used to monitor fly activity to gauge not only the type of fly but how effective the services are and what else is needed to control the flies. Flies are always a source issue. Finding and dealing with the source is the number one way to control flies. Then, when it’s linked with a proper service, you can attain a lot better control. Fly lights are also good for redirecting flies. #versatechpm #settingthestandard #revolutionizing #losangelespestsolutions #veteranowned #veteranownedbusiness #exterminatornearme #losangelesexterminator #NeighborhoodFaves #peopleloveusonyelp #flycontrol #commercialpestcontrol #flies #losangelesexterminator #losangelespestsolutions

This weekend Frontier Airlines Flt 1326 declared an emergency of "heavy smoke in the cockpit and cabin". Several minutes before the aircraft landed, radio and radar contact was lost with the aircraft (possibly related to the emergency situation). From touchdown, where the main gear tires are blown and catch fire (04:58), to end of the video, where FLT 1326 acknowledges they will wait for the air stairs to arrive (07:50), the elapsed time us just under three minutes. This again shows how fast aircraft emergencies air either successfully mitigated or can go wrong based on the decisions made by all players. In the attached video the following are communicating: - LAS TWR (Las Vegas Tower) - FFT 1326 (Emergency aircraft) - Red Dog 40/Rescue (Airport Fire Services) 04:58 aircraft lands with fire showing and TWR immediately gives permission to Red Dog 40 for fire crews to enter the runway at their discretion. 05:04 Red Dog 40 seems to want to communicate with TWR, but TWR cuts him off and repeats for fire crews to "proceed onto the runway, no need to acknowledge." 05:15 Red Dog 40 is trying to communicate with FLT 1326 as to "what's going on inside." TWR then notifies Red Dog 40 that FLT 1326 is unable to transmit. 05:36 FLT 1326 starts to communicate with TWR on an emergency frequency. FLT 1326 wants to know what the conditions are outside. 05:56 seconds TWR reports to FLT 1326 that their is a fire on the right engine, right side engine. 06:05 FLT 1326 reports they will evacuate on the runway. 06:10 TWR updates FLT 1326 that the fire is out. FLT 1326 replies they are going to evacuate. 06:32 FLT 1326 reports they are "shutting everything down and will evacuate on the runway." 06:35 Red Dog 40 reports to FLT 1326 that both "right mains are flat". 06:48 Red Dog 40 Updates FLT 1326 that "everything looks good from the outside; no smoke or fire. We don't have fire from our vantage point. We'll get airstairs and busses out here for your passengers." 07:08 FLT 1326 reports to TWR that there are "some guys" by the main cabin door. TWR says rescue wants them to evacuate. FLT 1326 responds they can't do that because the slides would "blow right into them". 07:35 Red Dog reports he is "going to get the trucks to retract." 07:42 Frontier 1326 asks as to whether Fire wants them to evacuate or use the air stairs that are on the way. Fire then confirms they do not want to "blow the slides" if not needed. 07:52 Frontier 1326 confirms they will wait for the air stairs to arrive then they will disarm the stairs and let everyone out. Under the stress and fast moving situation it looks like a pretty decent operation. The fires were immediately knocked down and once the situation was mitigated and understood between AFS and aircrew, the decision to slow things down and wait for the air stairs was made. Potential issue: - were fire crews originally too close to the main exit? https://lnkd.in/gQwqTjeN

Aviation is always a popular subject. People have romanticized about flight hundreds of years before the Wright brothers in gliders, balloons and rockets. More than 120 years since our first powered controlled flight mankind is no less fascinated by it with engineers now reaching for objects off our world! There’s one constant across the centuries of trying to leave the ground which undoubtedly has been greatly reduced since that fateful day in 1903 and that is risk. Aviation has become a very safe industry, so much so that we take for it for granted when crossing continents is counted in hours instead of days or months. Still despite all the engineering and safety measures accidents still happen and tragedy strikes. In Resolute Bay this is all too clear. The hills are littered with the wrecks of airplanes and helicopters from missions gone bad. A simple error up here can become very serious very fast in this very unforgiving environment. You can walk in any almost direction up here and come across a wreck. It really is a place of bent metal, twisted steel and frozen tears. I went for a walk to visit what was left of the once legendary Lancaster which crashed here in 1950. Years ago some of the tail used to be still vertical and still defecting in the wind, and despite the damage and years of abuse one could still admire the lines of this famous hero of Bomber Command. Now there’s little left. The remains of FM221 have succumbed to 80 years of harsh climate, abuse and souvenir hunters. I have a few more wrecks on my list to visit here but I will probably wait until the snow is gone as I stand very little chance of outrunning a hungry polar bear and this is not the time and place to be hiking large distances alone. We flew to Rae Point yesterday for some fuel caching. The Twin Otter has it’s qualities. It’s easy to fly, it’s very forgiving and when tasked to do what it was built for, it does it very well. I tried my best to prepare my brand new copilot for the landing, I assured him not to panic because I was only going to use the last half of the landing spot because of the bumps at the beginning. Conditions were good and after a good briefing I let him handle the take off which went very well for his first time on skis. Judging from his permanent grin I think he’s ruined for life. I have to admit my grin is still lingering. It’s been many years since I’ve done this sort of work and I have forgotten how much I enjoy it. With all the smiles and comradery it’s easy to forget the history of Rae Point. The strip was built by Panarctic Oils in the hay days of Arctic oil exploration which started in the 1966 and ended in 1986. On October 30, 1974 a Panarctic L-188 crashed on approach killing 32. The crash was horrific and is difficult to read about. I wanted to visit the monument but it is too high risk for polar bears if walking. Another time. https://lnkd.in/gnv2txsx https://lnkd.in/gYgFXWH8

This visual could lead up to the cause of the grass fire that coincided the Qantas Boeing 737-800 aircraft (VH-VYH) departure and an emergency landing in Sydney after an engine (CFM56-7B26) failure. Finding : The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has collected turbine blades and other engine fragments that were scattered on runway 34R. Verification: However, no official statement has been released by a competent authority that these Right engine failed turbine (LPT) blades and hot debris are the reason behind the grass fire. What happened ? At around 13:18 (LT) on November 08, 2024, an explosion on Qantas flight QF520, shortly after takeoff at Sydney (SYD) Airport, forced the 2005 built plane to remain on a holding pattern over the Botany Bay before making an emergency landing with all 174 passengers safely. Flight : https://lnkd.in/d2dJcEVa Previous Incident: A similar incident has been registered on November 10th 2009, when a Qantas Boeing 737-400, aircraft (VH-TJY) operating flight QF637 from Brisbane, to Melbourne, was climbing out of Brisbane, the crew observed abnormal vibrations of the Right engine followed by a decision to return Brisbane On the 2009 case, after investigation, the Australian Transportation Safety Board (ATSB) in their final report said: "As a contributing safety factor, the in-flight malfunction of the aircraft’s right engine was a result of a cascading rupture of the stage-1 LPT blades." 📸 Courtesy : The ABC via https://lnkd.in/gSKMVnA Previous Post : https://lnkd.in/ddms9T_6 #aircraft #safety #aviation
