Air Line Pilots Association’s Post

Many of us fly for work and air safety we take for granted. Yesterday the FAA completed their investigation into Boeing and their findings were concerning. According to the FAA, Boeing "did not provide objective evidence of a foundational commitment to safety that matched Boeing's descriptions of that objective." This is a pretty grave statement, isn't it? The aviation industry needs to prioritize safety above all else. #safety #airsafety #aviation #quality #qhse , the report can be read here: https://lnkd.in/d54XGCPj

The FAA is forming a Safety Risk Management Panel (SRMP) to determine if scheduled Part 135 operators with 10 - 30 seat aircraft should have a new operating authority. The question at the crux is; does the safety data demonstrate a need for a change, or does all of this come down to a capitalism/competition issue? "...public charter markets operate in airports that are not served by large network airlines, yet there are thousands more airports—funded by the American taxpayer—that remain inaccessible to the vast majority of Americans unless they have the means to afford private jets..."

✈️ Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), warns that an incident similar to the detachment of a door plug on a Boeing 737 Max 9 could happen again. This event occurred minutes after takeoff on January 5th. The preliminary investigation revealed that four essential screws were missing to secure the door plug, indicating a serious issue in the quality control process. Despite this incident, Homendy is confident in the safety of the 737 Max 9 and would fly on one without hesitation. The FAA, under the leadership of Michael Whitaker, recognizes the need to reform its reliance on self-regulation by aircraft manufacturers like Boeing to ensure aviation safety. 🛫 Do you think the current measures are sufficient to ensure aviation safety?

In a shocking revelation, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has claimed that more than 40 foreign operators may be using Boeing 737 aircraft with faulty rudder components. In a letter to the powerful U.S. aviation regulator Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the NTSB said it was afraid that airlines using the aircraft were unaware of the actuators which could lead to jammed rudder control systems on the single-aisle aircraft. The NTSB also disclosed that it had learned two foreign operators suffered similar incidents in 2019 involving rollout guidance actuators. The NTSB has been investigating an incident in February this year in which the rudder pedals on a United Airlines Boeing 737-MAX 8 were ‘stuck” in the neutral position during landing at Newark. The incident did not lead to any injuries. The letter to FAA did not name any of the airlines but said that none of the U.S. airlines were flying the afflicted aircraft. Boeing shares fell 2.7% on Monday. #BoeingShares #AviationRegulations #AirSafetyAlert #FlightSafety #AviationIndustry #BoeingInvestigation #AirlineOperations #AircraftComponents Watch: https://lnkd.in/gprVZeCY

When it comes to aviation safety, the bar can never be high enough! The passing of the FAA Reauthorization Bill is significant for aviation infrastructure & workforce safety. The bill also mandates the upgrade of a 25-Hour Cockpit Voice Recorder in commercial aircraft. The graphic below shows how the FAA/NTSB CVR recommendation compares to other regulatory agencies around the globe. #AviationSafety #FAA #NTSB #CockpitVoiceRecorder #Aviation

Not long ago, the central argument made by many attorneys to support EB-1 and EB-2 NIW petitions in aviation related to workforce shortages in the United States. But now, attorneys and pilots now need to demonstrate a higher degree of excellence and specificity within endeavors. They need to answer the question: What will this person bring to U.S. airlines that others cannot, which helps the endeavor rise to the level of national importance? Our blog post discusses some of the shifts in these areas. https://lnkd.in/eHTMJvbb

WASHINGTON- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is insisting that Boeing furnish additional data before granting approval for a thorough and meticulous inspection and maintenance procedure to reinstate the 737 MAX-9 aircraft into service. FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker emphasized, "We are committed to preventing a recurrence of such incidents. #737MAX #Boeing737max #Boeing737MAX9 #BoeingNews #FAA #FAAGrounded737MAX #FAAGroundedBoeing737MAX

The Federal Aviation Administration ( #FAA ) has instructed #Boeing to develop a plan within 90 days to rectify serious quality and safety issues. As reported by CNN, the directive follows a day-long meeting between FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker and Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun, during which Whitaker made the demand. This move comes after a year-long FAA-commissioned probe revealed a “disconnect” between Boeing executives and employees regarding #safety concerns, with employees expressing fears of reassignment or stalled career growth for reporting such issues. The meeting occurred ahead of the expected release of a six-week FAA audit of Boeing’s production line, initiated after investigators found critical bolts missing from a Boeing #737 MAX 9 door plug that blew open mid-flight. The FAA specified the Boeing plan must address weaknesses in implementing the company’s safety management system (SMS) and integrate the SMS programme with another quality programme. Despite a recent overhaul of the manual guiding employees on safety procedures, the panel found a lack of knowledge among many Boeing employees about the SMS efforts, its purpose and procedures. While a panel reported Boeing’s safety shortcomings on Monday, February 26, recommending a six-month timeline for addressing the issues, the FAA’s new directive sets a faster pace. The FAA insists that Boeing’s resulting plan must lead to a “measurable, systemic shift in manufacturing quality control.” #aviation #airlines #aeronautic source Avitrader
