Asiana tragedy"Anytime a plane goes down with a reported fire in the cargo hold, one of the first things we need to know is what was in the cargo hold and how was it being transported. This will be a key part of this investigation and probably some of the first questions asked. We’ve learned a lot about safely transporting hazardous materials over the decades but obviously there is still much to learn."
Some Points on the incident at Reagan National from Bill Voss· The incident at Reagan National was very unusual. It didn’t create much of a real safety threat, but it does point out some things that may need to Tragic regularityThere’s a reason why Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) is considered one of the leading killers in aviation. These accidents happen with tragic regularity. The recently released report from the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), Russia’s investigative body for aviation accidents, demonstrates that the dreadful accident last April that killed the president of Poland along with his wife and many other political leaders was sadly a textbook example of a CFIT accident. FSF Statement on Concorde Verdict“The Concorde criminal verdict announced today in France is a disappointment, but the fact that this trial was even held is the real concern. Bill in Russia at GASR meetingBill Voss returned this weekend from Russia where he had been attending the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap meeting in St. Petersburg. There were two main themes of the meeting. The first was on better monitoring of foreign aircraft in a manner consistent with the European SAFA program. Bill is pleased to note that there were real steps taken in the effort to counter flights taken by aircraft with purposely confusing ownership, operations and regulatory oversight as many of these aircraft are operating for shady operators for shady reasons. Proposed fatigue rules....We’re really excited about the proposed fatigue rules – this is one of the most significant improvements of safety we’ve seen in years. We’re also hugely disappointed that with the finish line in sight, all these efforts put in by safety experts could be tossed aside because of some hasty reactions, based on bargaining pressures and mistrust instead of the science and facts. People need to take time and read it through. Looking at any one requirement in isolation is a mistake. The pieces play together to make one of the most thoughtful fatigue rules in the world. Bill's latest columnI sure hope you all read Bill's latest column in the current issue of ASW - here's the link to the piece. We'll wait for you to read it and come back... http://flightsafety.org/asw/apr10/asw_apr10_p1.pdf Done? He didn't pull any punches on this one. Hope that the industry - operators and regulators - are paying attention to this one....
posted May 5 by Emily... FSF and CAAC partner up...This week in Montreal, Billl Voss and Capt. Wang Zhaoming, Director General of the Office of Aviation Safety at the Civil Aviation Administration of China, met up to sign the memorandum of understanding that would formalize the agreement for the CAAC to translate AeroSafety World into Chinese each month. This version will be available on the FSF website. We've got a press release about this in the media section of the web page.

Opening panel got people talking...As we expected, the opening panel kicked off EASS with a spirited discussion about presentations from Ken Quinn, FSF General Counsel, and Mike Ambrose, Director General of ERA. Both embraced the call for a multi-national accident investigation board in Europe. We've distributed a press release outlining their views - it will be posted on the FSF website soon. I think it is safe to say that this will be a topic of side conversations for the rest of the conference. Everyone in the room didn't agree with this idea. posted by Emily, at EASS in Lisbon, March 16th. |
