This four-year project, managed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), will enhance aviation safety, promote institutional and industrial links, and mitigate the environmental impact of aviation. The project will be implemented with Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It was officially launched at the occasion of the Global Aviation Safety forum on Regional Safety Oversight Organizations in Swaziland. Patrick Ky, Executive Director of EASA, said "South Asia has the highest forecast traffic growth of any region in the world over the next 20 years. Europe looks forward to partnering with South Asia to meet the opportunities and challenges this presents." The project will also promote technical cooperation at the regional level and enhance EU-South Asia policy dialogue. The €7.5 million project is funded by the European Union.

Pour la fin de l'année, Airbus entend commencer à tester son taxi volant. Il permettra d'éviter les embouteillages, selon le CEO d'Airbus, Tom Enders.

L'année dernière, l'entreprise créait une division appelée Urban Air Mobility, dont le but est d'étudier des concepts capables de transporter des personnes individuelles ou des groupes au moyen d'un taxi aérien, selon l'agence de presse Reuters. Le but est de générer une appli de type Uber permettant aux gens de réserver des vols.

[EASA Press Release] : Pilot mental fitness: EASA puts forward new rules for air operations

Forwarded message - From: EASA Press Release

Like Tweet Forward Cologne, December 9, 2016   Pilot mental fitness: EASA puts forward new rules for air operations EASA published today a proposal to the European Commission on new operational rules to better support pilot mental fitness. EASA's proposal is part of its Action Plan following the Germanwings Flight 9525 accident. Released in a document known as an Opinion (Opinion 14/2016) , the proposals include the following new requirements: Ensuring that all pilots have access to a support programme; Mandating airlines to perform a psychological assessment of pilots before the start of employment; Introducing systematic Drug & Alcohol (D&A) testing of flight and cabin crew upon employment, after a serious incident or accident, with due cause (i.e. following reasonable suspicion), as well as Unannounced D&A testing after rehabilitation and return to work; As an additional safety barrier for airlines which are not already subject to a national programme for psychoactive substance testing: mandatory random alcohol screening of flight and cabin crew within the EU RAMP inspection programme. These requirements are contained in the so-called Air OPS Implementing Rules. The proposed rules have been subject to consultation with all stakeholders concerned. As part of a total system approach, they complement the proposals EASA issued in August of this year, on the update of medical requirements for pilots (Part-MED). The proposals address relevant safety recommendations made after the Flight 9525 accident by the EASA-led Task Force, as well as by the French Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses (BEA). Next steps: The EASA Opinion will serve as the basis for a legislative proposal by the European Commission in the course of 2017. To support the implementation of the new rules, EASA has prepared draft guidance material (so-called Acceptable Means of Compliance and Guidance Material - AMC/GM), annexed to the Opinion. The final AMC/GM will be published when the new rules have been adopted by the Commission. You can access the full text of the Opinion here .

EASA : On Air, Issue 9 - Flight Tracking

Forwarded message - From: Latest News from EASA

Like Tweet Forward

Cologne, September, 2016 On Air, Issue 9 - Flight Tracking Editorial - Interview - Featured topic - Figure of the month - News & events Several high-profile accidents, in particular flight AF447 and flight MH370, have highlighted shortcomings in the way flights are currently tracked. Aeroplanes flying over land with high density of population are permanently tracked by air traffic control (ATC) systems. But the situation differs for aeroplanes flying over oceanic airspace or over more remote regions such as the poles where such ATC systems may not be available. The frequency of position reports by pilots or aircraft to ATC in remote and oceanic airspace is not systematic, it varies at certain intervals, depending on the density of the airspace and the procedures in place. In order to improve the positioning of aeroplanes in oceanic and remote areas, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted international standards for: the location of aircraft and underwater recorders using underwater beacons the tracking of aircraft a location system for aircraft in distress and the fast recovery of data from flight recorders. These standards will come into force gradually between 2018 and 2021. In Europe, the rules governing the operations of public transport aircraft were amended last year to introduce similar requirements. Precisely, they address the flight recorders and their underwater beacons, request the introduction of an additional underwater locating device directly attached to the aircraft, and aim at improving aircraft tracking and the location of aircraft in distress. They will also gradually enter into force between 2018 and 2021 for new aeroplanes. The following lines describe in detail what is coming. Patrick Ky EASA Executive Director Data recording from AIRBUS perspective: Peter Anders in Interview Working for AIRBUS since 1989, Peter Anders is a Certification Manager for Avionics on all Airbus programs. Since 2010, he is Airworthiness Expert for Connectivity and Data Recording products. He is also responsible for providing Airworthiness expertise of future products to enhance data recording recovery and aircraft location. He represents AIRBUS in international regulation working groups (ICAO/FLIREC, EASA/EFRPG) to contribute industrial positions and opinions. Most citizens don't understand why a large aeroplane with 250 passenger can't be found for months or even years despite all the technologies available today, even in the simplest personal devices.
