We have launched the Psychoactive Substances Management Programme (PSMP) in Spanish. Who this course is aimed at? Safety-sensitive personnel who might endanger aviation safety if they perform their duties and functions improperly. This includes, but is not limited to, flight crew members, ground crew, air traffic controllers and aircraft maintenance personnel.

What happens in the cabin when we're on route to a patient? All crew onboard are prioritising communication - for the NSW Ambulance Critical Care Paramedic and Doctor it is about coordinating with ground teams on the location and condition of the patient as well as assessing critical medical information so they can prepare for the retrieval. For the Pilot and the Aircrew Officer, it is about navigating the flight path, assessing aircraft performance and evaluating potential landing sites with the information they have been briefed. As a team, they ensure every detail is covered for a safe and efficient retrieval of the patient, approaching every mission with a synchronised effort of communication, teamwork and readiness.

An Airbus engulfed in flames with 379 passengers on board! Could you imagine any survivors? To me, NO. We have a saying in the forces: "The more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war". No accident is so revealing the importance of proper training, as this one. Had the crew not trained to handle the emergency, there could have been no survivors. Because history is replete with such cases. So, train, train and train your employees. Not just on paper, but in class rooms and apron areas. If you want to save your tomorrow. And passengers' too. #aviation #aviationtraining #emergency #handlingemergencies #crew #pilot #passengersafety #safety #sms #accident #incident

Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!! I'm sure we all are familiar with this phrase. The word 'Mayday' is derived from the French word "m'aidez," meaning "help me." In the aviation industry, "Mayday" is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal expressed through voice communication When a pilot or flight crew member utters "Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!!" it signifies an imminent and life-threatening situation requiring immediate assistance. Common scenarios include engine failure, structural damage, loss of control, fuel exhaustion, medical emergencies, severe weather encounters, navigation problems, aircraft fires, hijacking, or any imminent risk to safety. Pilots and aircrew undergo rigorous training to handle emergencies, including the proper procedures for declaring a "Mayday" and executing emergency landings or evacuations. In conclusion, "Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!!" serves as a potent reminder of the critical role communication, preparedness, and quick thinking play in aviation safety. #aviation #aviationsafety #aviationemergency #aviationindustry #aviationworld #aviationdaily #civilaviation

Fires can occur unexpectedly in airports and aircraft, emphasizing the critical need for preparation to manage such situations effectively. Therefore, it is paramount to establish efficient fire prevention measures both at airports and within aircraft. Every airport should have a proficient Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) team that is adequately trained and equipped to handle emergencies. Especially for Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) services and cabin crew, we have created four training packages that respond to different aircraft training scenarios, such as engine fire, cabin fire, cockpit fire or cargo fire.

OTD in 2020: LOC-I on a low, slow downwind leg. The survivors had not trained with the specific safety equipment. The front crew both became trapped.  https://lnkd.in/dYVQbJu #military #helicopter #accident #flightsafety #aviationsafety #survivability

The moral obligation of an aircraft mechanic is to ensure that those who fly our planes, as crew or passengers, return to their families safely. Every bolt we torque, every inspection we conduct, every component we repair or replace has to have this in mind. Airplanes and helicopters are tools for people - human beings traversing the sky to get to where they need to be. Those people have families, friends, and co-workers who care about them and need them. We aren't just accountable to the FAA or regulations that govern our work. We're accountable to the people we serve and to their families. Remember that. #aviation #aircraftmaintenance #aircraftmechanic

As a follow up to my post earlier on the use of the concept of privilege in aviation safety investigations, what do we do when ‘culture’ is a major contributing cause of a military aviation mishap? The recent report from the USAF on the January B-1 mishap in Ellsworth, ND is a quite blunt and straightforward, and I commend the board for writing it, and frankly the Air Force for releasing it. I have seen too many mishaps of this sort, where culture played a strong role, where the reports never see the light. And the issues never change because of this opacity. This report may not bring a broader change either, because as others have mentioned there are even bigger problems outside the unit level. Issues like pilot manning shortfalls, training changes that take away flight time, reduced flight hours limiting proficiency, etc.—problems not limited to the USAF. But it honestly lays bare the many factors that played into the incident, called out all the ways this could have been prevented, and highlighted the fact that there is far more depth than simply pilot error. As an aviator, I have seen safety reports that were painful to read, because as a reader you could feel the cultural cringe. It is bad to put yourself in the shoes of fellow aviators, and can be even worse when you know the folks involved in the incident, you have flown with them—and you can empathize how they be came to be caught in in a culture that encouraged unsafe actions. What I find most troubling about this B-1 report is that it reflected a broader trend that I have seen in my own community, as mentioned above. And it is the type of incident I think that we will see more and more of. Aviator staffing shortfalls and the attempts to compensate for these shortfalls are creating unforeseen cultural consequences. I saw similar incidents in my last years of active duty, where on an approach ‘lack of a composite crosscheck’ created an unsafe situation, but the damaging effect was compounded by a lack of proficiency and experience from the senior member of the crew.  If you have seen this too, or are curious to know more, keep an eye out for future posts, as I don't have room to write it all here. Here is the link to the report, I recommend any platform aviator take a look and read it, beyond just the recent headlines, and consider what you can take away from it to make your next approach safer. https://lnkd.in/ghZ6X7RB (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Corey Hook)
