We agree with the NTSB's Dr. William Bramble that "see-and-avoid is not a reliable strategy for eliminating midair collisions.” This is a guiding inspiration for our developing PilotEye, a visual traffic detection system that works in conjunction with ADS-B to identify cooperative and noncooperative traffic including paragliders, ultralights, drones, and birds. It can scan the sky to determine aircraft type, distance, and time to impact, relieving pilot workload and increasing safety. It's in the certification process at the FAA with concurrent validation by EASA. We are hopeful it will contribute to a future without midair collisions. #aerospace  #cockpit  #aviationsafety #NTSB

“Is that my runway?” is not a question a pilot wants to ask when lining up for departure or arrival. Learn how to prevent wrong surface operations and what the FAA is doing to help. https://bit.ly/48W0boc #GeneralAviation

Flight Plan - Delay Code IATA The IATA Delay Code is a system used in flight planning to provide standardized reasons for flight delays. These codes are assigned by airlines to indicate the cause of a delay, allowing for easier tracking and analysis of delay trends. There are numerous IATA Delay Codes, with each code representing a specific reason for the delay. Some examples include: AC : Aircraft Change ATC : Air Traffic Control WX : Weather MX : Maintenance PD : Passenger Delay SS : Security Delay By using these codes, airlines can more easily identify patterns of delays and work to address the root causes of these issues. https://lnkd.in/drhuKjRT

SunExpress Flight #XQ508 Declared Emergency on Dalaman-Manchester Route SunExpress flight XQ508 from Dalaman to Manchester, operated by a Boeing 737 with registration TC-SPP, declared a 7700 emergency code due to a medical situation involving a passenger. Following this, the flight became the most-watched plane in the world. The aircraft made a safe emergency landing at Nuremberg Airport. What Does 7700 Mean?
⚠️🔺 Important Info: The 7700 code doesn't indicate the severity of the emergency by itself. It simply alerts air traffic control to an abnormal situation. However, it doesn’t specify the exact nature or seriousness of the issue. The purpose of this code is to inform controllers that something is wrong, allowing them to offer assistance and prioritize the flight if necessary.

Today, we released our investigation report (A21F0210) into a misaligned takeoff and emergency landing of a Jazz Aviation aircraft at #LAX. The investigation found that after the aircraft taxied off the taxiway centreline, the pilot mistook the left runway edge line as the runway centreline while lining up with the runway. When the aircraft took off, it contacted three runway edge lights causing damage to the aircraft’s tires and flaps. The emergency landing was due to a fuel imbalance that was likely caused by the flight crew inadvertently activating the wrong fuel panel while completing take-off checklists. As a result, the fuel periodically transferred between the aircraft’s wing tanks as it banked left or right. The misalignment and fuel imbalance were two separate unrelated incidents.

Safety is at the core of the aviation industry’s success. It needs to be. For my own self as well as those I transport. Safety with an eye to efficiency, but never the other way around… Safety starts with 2. Sometimes more than 2! But never less than 2.

Pilots: The FAA is making great strides to advance emerging aviation safety technology.

Some of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers seem convinced that increasing automation will allow airlines to reduce the number of pilots on the flight deck. Pilots understand that aircraft systems can and will fail, including automation, and it will always take at least two pilots to safely fly airline operations. Read our president, Capt. Jason Ambrosi’s latest op-ed: https://lnkd.in/e_AZ5hZd #SafetyStartsWith2
