An excellent few days in Warsaw at the World Overflight Risk Conference 2024 hosted by Osprey Flight Solutions, EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the University of Southampton. So much thought-provoking discussion but for me the key takeaways were: 💡the importance of OSINT in facilitating risk management through providing timely and effective information; 💡the challenges the aviation industry and we as their insurers will face over the coming years as technological advances will increase the capability of nefarious actors who may wish to target aviation; and 💡 the importance of continued dialogue between all of those involved in ensuring safer skies to help meet the challenges of the near future. Many thanks to all those involved in arranging this very valuable conference and looking forward to 2025.

To foster optimal and efficient operations across the aviation network, EUROCONTROL's "All Together Now 2024" guide is pivotal. It is a guidepost for flight dispatchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, flow management positions, and airports, outlining clear DO's and DON'Ts to ensure seamless operations. 🗂️ It underscores the importance of collective action and the strategic integration of operations within the European aviation network, aiming to enhance air travel's overall efficiency and reliability.

It is a really interesting Webinar (available for those who missed it on the HAV website). Key points/takeaways from my perspective: 1. The Highlands and Islands Feasibility Study has shown that Airlander can be a game changer for the interconnectivity in this challenging ecosystem; if you can fly there, you can fly almost anywhere! 2. The Infrastructure requirements are extremely low (for an existing airfield, the adoption cost is £278k - for those in this sector, that is a negligible sum of money). This makes it a low risk for adoption. 3. The population "growth" due to tourism. I think it was Orkney that has a 20,000 permanent population, which is boosted during the Summer by an additional 250,000 cruise ship visitors and 100,000 overland tourists. That was simply a stunning increase for me. Imagine an Airlander 10 taking off directly from alongside the cruise ship! 4. Waterborne operations - again, it's interesting to hear about this. I wonder what weather/sea conditions it can manage? I worked in Canada years ago, where seaplanes were pretty standard, and they suffered a bit at various times. 5. Weather impact is always a good question with an air vehicle travelling at a lower speed. Split into despatch rate and en route. The quoted 97% based on the historical data was pretty impressive (except Barra - I don't know that site). For en route, adding in 15-30mins for worst-case conditions sounds manageable. 6. Open storage, up to 75 knots to stay in place, would cover most conditions. Then, it is common sense to relocate. I don't know what the civil aircraft model is in this situation. I have done tie-downs on fast jets over the years, so it's more of a physical hardpoint loading issue. 7. Maintenance: the team has done some good work here. The traditional heavy C and D checks should be much easier with the systems onboard. I liked the idea of the regional MRO hubs, which would make sense considering the hangar size for those events (even if there are fewer "hangered requirements" than traditional fixed wing). I like the concept of the motorized (like an aircraft tug) docking mast. 8. Helium loss, sounds like they have done their homework in terms of both design and maintenance. We all look carefully at anything that contributes to the lifecycle costs of the product. 9. Passenger cost. It is not one of my areas of knowledge, but £0.27/seat/km seems reasonable and, as stated, "comparable". As was caveated by David Holden during the Webinar, it depends on the pricing model. 10. Pilot Certification. The differentiation made by George between Airlander as a "Hybrid Air Vehicle" and a standard lighter-than-air platform is interesting. The slow approach speeds, etc, would certainly make it a low pilot workload scenario whilst considering the slower response times. I await the development of this one with interest. A very informative session and certainly worth a look.

The Communicating For Safety (CFS) conference is celebrating a monumental milestone this year: This is the 25th anniversary of NATCA organizing the conference. Since 1999, CFS has grown from a small gathering into the premier aviation safety conference globally, becoming a cornerstone of the industry and a beacon for collaboration, innovation, and safety. This year’s event promises to be more influential than ever, bringing together over 1,300 attendees, including NATCA members, FAA leadership, pilots, and industry stakeholders. The goal of CFS has always been to foster an open exchange of ideas and information, focusing on aviation safety. As we celebrate this landmark year, NATCA remains committed to making CFS the definitive forum for discussing the challenges and advancements that will shape the future of the National Airspace System (NAS). Throughout its history, CFS has facilitated collaborations on the most critical safety issues. It has been instrumental in preparing the workforce for the integration of new technologies and procedures, ensuring that the NAS remains the safest and most efficient in the world. This year’s conference will continue that tradition, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of aviation safety. NATCA is excited to welcome all participants to this historic event and is confident that the insights gained here will continue to propel the industry forward.
