I can’t help but wonder how many other European airlines are not properly managing Health & Safety risk. Certain hazards affect human performance and as such, are a risk to Flight Safety. These same hazards can also affect our health, and in this context are an Occupational Health & Safety concern. This creates an oversight overlap. How many national health & safety authorities are assuming that the oversight is being provided by the national aviation authority, and vice-versa? And rather than having a regulatory overlap, is it possible that in some jurisdictions we have a regulatory gap? I believe it’s highly likely.

How Many Crew Are Required On An Aircraft? Let's take a look at how many flight attendants are required to be on board with you and the other passengers. The role of flight crew on passenger flights is much more than conducting safety briefings and handing out food and beverages to passengers. While almost always taken for granted by passengers, flight attendants ensure many aspects of a safe and smooth flights, including safety and well-being of passengers, safety and security of the aircraft, cleanliness, communication, and planning. Although passengers may learn to recognize the faces of those responsible for their section of the cabin, particularly on long-haul flights, most would be hard-pressed to say how many crew there were on the plane. Let's take a look at the requirements for the minimum number of flight crew required on board commercial flights. https://hubs.li/Q02z2c040 #aviation #jobs #careers #aviationjobs #aviationcareers #aviationindustry #hiring #jobopportunity #airlines #airports #airlinejobs #airportjobs

AVIATION ADMINISTRATION OF KAZAKHSTAN - 5 YEARS The Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan (AAK), the authorized governmental agency which control and oversees Kazakhstan’s aviation industry in the fields of flight safety and aviation security, celebrates its five years anniversary. AAK's activities are focused on the European model of civil aviation regulation, which is one of the most advanced and effective methods in the world, fully complying with International Civil Aviation Organization regulations and recommended practices. Over the course of five years, the AAK developed proposed revisions to the basic legislation of civil aviation, as well as more than 100 draft laws and regulations, and worked with the authorized authority to implement the changes. This huge effort has enabled the implementation of new standards, ICAO recommended procedures, and international best practices, as well as the increase in transparency and integrity. In 2021, an ICAO validation mission was completed, raising the flight safety assurance level to 84%, 15% higher than the global average. Over the last two years, Kazakhstan has worked closely with the European Commission to improve its flight safety level. As a result of the technical visit of experts from the European Commission, the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and the aviation authorities of the European Union members, as well as the results of the European Commission's Air Safety Committee meeting in May of this year, Kazakhstan came out from enhanced flight safety monitoring. This implies Kazakhstani airlines have no limitations on flights to Europe. Seven out of nineteenth recognized airlines have authority to travel to Europe. Since 2019, the AAK has executed over 28 thousand public services, with more than 99% delivered on schedule. During the preceding time, aviation security inspectors performed 358 inspections and delivered almost 10,000 state services, including the issue of crew member certificates and the certification of airport aviation security services. More than 4,000 procedures were completed to permit inspectors from the aviation security inspection unit to work. Over a five-year period, 768 airworthiness certificates were issued. Over the course of five years, AAK inspectors conducted inspections and certifications in the field of flight operation, providing 41 air operator certificates and 24 aerial work certificates. In the field of licensing for five years, AAK has provided more than 15000state services for issuing certificates to aviation personnel and certification of aviation training centers. Kazakhstan was the first CIS country to announce 100% implementation of the Global Runway Surface Condition Reporting Format (GRF) standards. This document is an important ICAO provision aimed at reducing the risks associated with aircraft rollout. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d6ci6Gaq

The European Aviation Safety Agency mandates inspections of Trent XWB-97 engines Following the incident of CX 383, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has required inspections of the A350-1000 fleet equipped with Trent XWB-97 engines. In the Emergency Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-0174-E, EASA, as the airworthiness authority for A350 aircraft and Trent XWB engines, has mandated a one-time inspection of the flexible fuel hose connections inside the engines in a phased manner. The inspections are to be conducted within the next 3-30 days based on the specific conditions of each engine. Florian Guillermet, the Executive Director of EASA, stated: "This measure is a precautionary action. The investigation is based on the preliminary findings of the recent Cathay Pacific incident and the conclusions drawn during subsequent inspections by Cathay Pacific. We will continue to monitor all information disclosed in safety investigations." On September 1, 2024, a Cathay Pacific A350-1000 equipped with Trent XWB-97 engines experienced an engine fire shortly after takeoff from Hong Kong to Zurich. The fire was detected and extinguished, and the aircraft safely returned to Hong Kong. The incident is being investigated by the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department in accordance with Annex 13 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). After inspecting its A350 fleet, Cathay Pacific discovered similar issues in other aircraft. Excerpt from: EASA

💡 Myth or fact? "Cabin crew only serve food and drinks." 🛬 Many people believe that cabin crew members are primarily onboard to serve coffee, tea, and snacks. While this is a part of their role, the truth is far more complex. Cabin crew are essential to ensuring every flight runs smoothly, focusing on safety, support, and outstanding service. Passenger service in aviation involves much more than meets the eye:  1️⃣  Safety procedures: cabin crew conduct pre-flight checks and are trained to manage emergency situations, serving as the guardians of safety onboard.  2️⃣  Conflict resolution: when tensions arise between passengers, our crew knows how to de-escalate the situation with professionalism.  3️⃣  Emotional support: for those nervous about flying, cabin crew provide comfort and a calming presence, making the journey more pleasant.  4️⃣  Medical response, our trained crew members respond swiftly and effectively, prioritizing passenger wellbeing.   🆘 Trained for the unexpected  At Sylvester Aviation Services, we believe that exceptional passenger service lies at the heart of aviation. Our training prepares cabin crew not just to meet basic expectations but to exceed them, empowering them to take any challenges that arise at 35,000 feet.  What myths have you encountered about the role of cabin crew?
