The aircraft descended to FL210 and landed safely back at Montreal about 2:50 hours after departure. The Canadian TSB reported: "Maintenance found the yellow rudder servo control filter cap loose and the o-ring damaged. A new o-ring was installed on filter cap as per the aircraft maintenance manual (AMM). Leak check carried out satisfactory. It was also noted that hydraulic fluid leaked inside auxiliary power unit (APU) inlet causing a smell. The APU was decontaminated as per the AMM and the aircraft was returned to service." https://avherald.com/h?article=51b85462&opt=0 Incident: LATAM Brasil A320 at Asuncion on Jul 23rd 2024, bird strike A LATAM Brasil Airbus A320-200, registration PR-MBH performing flight LA-1324 from Asuncion (Paraguay) to Santiago (Chile), was climbing out of Asuncion's runway 02 when the crew stopped the climb at 4000 feet following a bird strike into one of their engines (V2527). The aircraft burned off fuel and returned to Asuncion for a safe landing on runway 02 about one hour after departure. The rotation was cancelled. The aircraft is still on the ground in Asuncion about 14 hours after landing back. https://avherald.com/h?article=51b85201&opt=0 Incident: Logan AT42 near Aberdeen on Jul 23rd 2024, engine shut down in flight A Loganair Avions de Transport Regional ATR-42-600, registration G-LMSA performing flight LM-436 from Sumburgh,SC to Glasgow,SC (UK), was enroute at FL180 about 20nm north of Aberdeen,SC (UK) when the crew needed to shut the left hand engine (PW127M) down and decided to divert to Aberdeen for a safe landing on runway 34 about 25 minutes later. The airline stated the aircraft made a precautionary diversion following a technical issue. https://avherald.com/h?article=51b7f0b3&opt=0 Pilot only survivor of Nepal plane crash Some 18 people were killed after a plane crashed and caught fire while it was taking off from Nepal's capital of Kathmandu on Wednesday. The pilot, who is currently receiving treatment in hospital, is the only survivor of the fatal accident. Nineteen people were on the Saurya Airlines test flight, including technical staff members of the airline and two crew members. Nepal's aviation industry has a poor safety record - that has been attributed to multiple factors over the years, from unpredictable weather to lax regulations. The incident happened at around 11:15 local time (05:30 GMT), a few minutes after the plane took off from the Tribhuvan International Airport, according to a statement by the Nepal Civil Aviation Authority's search and rescue coordination centre. The Saurya Airlines test flight on Wednesday was headed to Pokhara, as part of a routine maintenance check. Airport chief Jagannath Niraula told BBC Nepali that the accident "happened as soon as it left the ground, in not even a minute", though airport authorities have not been able to confirm the cause of the accident. However, the head of the Tribhuvan International Airport said that an initial assessment showed that the plane had flown in the wrong direction. "As soon as it took off, it turned right, [when it] should have turned left," Mr Niraula told BBC Nepali. Footage of the incident show the plane tilting above the runway before crashing into the ground, into flames. It quickly became enveloped in fire and smoke. Fire engines and ambulances were rushed to the spot after the incident. Seventeen of those who died are Nepali while one is a Yemeni national, who was working as an engineer. Police spokesperson Dan Bahadur Karki told BBC Nepali that the pilot sustained injuries to his eyes and forehead, but is not in any life threatening danger. Nepal has been criticised for its poor air safety record. In January 2023, at least 72 people were killed in a Yeti Airlines crash that was later attributed to its pilots mistakenly cutting the power. It was deadliest air crash in Nepal since 1992, when all 167 people aboard a Pakistan International Airlines plane died when it crashed on approach to Kathmandu Airport. Saruya Airlines operates flights to five destinations within Nepal, with a fleet of three Bombardier CRJ-200 jets, according to the company’s website. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c978m8p6lm6o Palmer pilot who flew with revoked credentials claimed to be ‘free citizen,’ feds say A Palmer man whose flight certificate was revoked after a near-collision last year is facing federal charges, after prosecutors say he continued to fly and made claims that he was a sovereign citizen. Alaska’s U.S. attorney’s office said in a statement Monday that William Marsan, 56, is accused of operating an aircraft without an airman certificate, operating an unregistered aircraft and operating an aircraft displaying a false registration mark. The case began in June of 2023, when the close call involving Marsan’s Piper Cherokee was reported to the Federal Aviation Administration. “Marsan did not radio his intention to take off from an airport in Palmer and operated the aircraft against the flow of landing traffic, resulting in a near mid-air collision with another aircraft attempting to land,” officials said in the statement. According to an indictment filed by prosecutors Thursday, Marsan received a second-class medical certificate from the FAA in 2019 but didn’t renew it the following year. He also canceled the Cherokee’s aircraft registration in 2022. About a month after the June 9, 2023 near-collision at the Palmer Municipal Airport, an FAA safety inspector saw Marsan land there in the Cherokee. The inspector identified himself and asked to see Marsan’s pilot and medical certificates, as well as the plane’s registration and airworthiness certificate. Marsan refused, prosecutors say. He told the inspector “he was a ‘free citizen’ and did not need a pilot or medical certificate, and adding that his aircraft had been deregistered,” according to the indictment. Sovereign citizens, who sometimes call themselves “free citizens,” are a fringe group of people who reject state and federal law, sometimes claiming to be citizens of self-defined nations. In 2012, Alaska Peacemakers Militia leader and sovereign citizen Schaeffer Cox was convicted as the ringleader of a “241” plot to kidnap or kill two Fairbanks-area federal officials for every militia member arrested or killed. Later last summer, the indictment against Marsan said, two FAA inspectors saw his plane at the Willow Airport. They said the “N” in its painted identification number on each side was partially covered by stickers, one of which “had the appearance of a flag.” The FAA’s investigation led it to issue an emergency revocation of Marsan’s pilot certificate in January. Marsan had 10 days to file an appeal, but did not do so. “Nevertheless, (Marsan) has continued to operate the aircraft without registration, with an obscured identification number, and without a valid pilot certificate through the date of this indictment,” prosecutors wrote. Marsan was arrested Thursday and is being held at the Anchorage Correctional Complex. In a Monday pretrial memo the prosecutor in the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Bradley, said that Marsan has indicated he plans to represent himself without legal counsel. Bradley also said that Marsan had made “discredited, frivolous arguments that have been rejected by the courts for decades,” including that he “is not subject to federal law or jurisdiction because he is not a ‘Citizen of the United States’ but rather an ‘American State National.’” Bradley told the court that the prosecution isn’t opposed to Marsan being released before trial, but asked it to bar Marsan from flying unlicensed or flying any unregistered aircraft. Marsan faces a maximum of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count in the case. Prosecutors are also seeking the forfeiture of his plane if he is convicted. https://alaskapublic.org/2024/07/23/palmer-pilot-who-flew-with-revoked-credentials-claimed-to-be-free-citizen-feds-say/ Junior Cathay Pacific pilot suspended after failing alcohol test before flight to Hong Kong Sources say second officer for flight CX110 failed test in Sydney, leading to immediate suspension and service to be delayed by at least two days A junior pilot with Cathay Pacific Airways has been suspended from duty after he failed an alcohol breath test on Tuesday shortly before he was due to fly from Sydney to Hong Kong, causing the flight to be delayed by at least two days, the Post has learned. Sources said on Wednesday that some aircrew with flight CX110 underwent alcohol breath tests in Sydney at the request of Australian authorities and a second officer failed the breath test, leading to immediate suspension and the flight delay. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/transport/article/3271720/junior-cathay-pacific-pilot-suspended-after-failing-alcohol-test-flight-hong-kong FAA Launches Audit Into Southwest After Safety Incidents Southwest is the second carrier to be under an FAA audit this year due to a series of widely-reported safety incidents. The Federal Aviation Administration is launching an audit of Southwest Airlines after a string of safety incidents, the carrier confirmed to Skift. Some incidents during the past few months include one where the plane flew too low and another where a plane took off from a closed runway. Southwest said it is working closely with the FAA. The carrier has also formed a group of Southwest leaders, union members and representatives from the FAA to strengthen its current safety management system. “This group is tasked with performing an in-depth, data-driven analysis to identify any opportunities for improvement,” Southwest said in a statement. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than the Safety of our Customers and Employees.” The FAA said in a statement to Skift that it is increasing its oversight of Southwest to ensure the airline is complying with federal safety regulations. “Safety will drive the timeline” of the investigation, the FAA said. A String of Incidents One of Southwest’s most recent incidents involved a plane flying as low as 150 feet over water while it was still around 5 miles away from landing at the airport in Tampa. The pilots then landed in Fort Lauderdale instead. The FAA is also investigating that incident. The agency is also looking into a Southwest flight that plunged several feet into the ocean off the coast of Hawaii in April. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a Southwest plane that did a “Dutch roll” during a flight from Phoenix to Oakland. A “Dutch roll” is when a tail slides and the plane rocks side to side. United Airlines faced a similar audit earlier this year. As a result, United had to delay the launch of two international routes. https://skift.com/2024/07/23/faa-launches-audit-into-southwest-after-safety-incidents/ Delta is still melting down. It could last all week Bad news for passengers: Delta Air Lines canceled hundreds more flights early Tuesday morning, as the problems caused by last week’s global tech outage continued into a fifth day. Worse news: Delta’s meltdown will probably extend through the end of the week. The meltdown has ensnared an estimated half a million people, ruined holidays and travel plans and prompted a federal investigation – even as Delta flight cancellations and delays are ongoing and far outpacing issues at other carriers. As of 2pm ET the Atlanta-based airline had canceled 466 flights, and Endeavor Air, its regional carrier that feeds its system under the Delta Connection brand, had canceled another 28 flights. The cancellations follow more than 1,250 flight cancellations Monday, and 4,500 flights from Friday through Sunday between Delta and Delta connection. There were more than 1,000 Delta and Delta Connection listed as delayed by FlightAware. The canceled flights by the two carriers represented nearly 70% of all flights within, to or from the United States that have been canceled on Monday, according to FlightAware. No other US airline had canceled one tenth as many flights. The problems prompted the Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to announce the Department of Transportation would be starting an investigation to make sure Delta is following the law and treating passengers fairly. “I’m hearing a lot of things I’m very concerned about, including people being on hold for hours and hours trying to get a new flight. people having to sleep on airport floors, even accounts of unaccompanied minors being stranded in airports unable to get on a flight,” Buttigieg told reporters on Tuesday. “Part of why we were opening this investigation is the scale of the problem,” he added. “Over 6,000 flights have been canceled since Friday, hundreds of flights have been canceled today, and we estimate that more than half a million passengers have been impacted by this.” The DOT said it has received a “high volume of consumer complaints” about Delta’s actions since Friday. The department said if can penalize an airline for “an unfair and deceptive practice” if it finds finds that an airline provided inadequate customer assistance when flights are canceled or travel plans significantly changed. Buttigieg asked passengers with complaints to contact the Department of Transportation. “While you should first try to resolve issues directly with the airline, we want to hear from passengers who believe that Delta has not complied with USDOT-enforced passenger protection requirements during the recent travel disruptions,” he tweeted. “We will follow up.” Delta said it cooperating with the investigation. What Delta passengers are entitled to in terms of compensation “We remain entirely focused on restoring our operation,” the company told CNN in a statement. “Across our operation, Delta teams are working tirelessly to care for and make it right for customers impacted by delays and cancellations as we work to restore the reliable, on-time service they have come to expect from Delta.” The problems stemmed from a software update issued late Thursday night by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike that crashed Windows software. A cascade effect caused problems throughout the global airline industry last Friday. Although most airlines were able to recover and resume normal operations by the end of the weekend, Delta has been unable to fix problems with its crew tracking system, leaving it unable to find the pilots and flight attendants it needed to fly its planes. The problems will continue for at least a few more days, warned Rahul Samant, the company’s chief information officer, in a message to Delta employees Monday. “So we’re optimistic we’ll get it done,” Samant said in the video message along with CEO Ed Bastian. “There will be some things as Ed said, that we will do today, tomorrow to get to a better place by the end of the week.” He said the IT staff is working “feverishly” and “around the clock” to fix the problem. Frustrated passengers and crews The problems left tens of thousands of frustrated Delta customers stranded and unable to return home. Many of them booked other flights that were subsequently canceled as well. A lack of hotel rooms forced many to sleep in airports and wait for hours on hold trying to get through to Delta in an often-futile effort to find a flight. Delta crew members are dealing with similar frustrations. Many have been left stranded in airports far from their bases and homes, unable to be placed on flights because Delta has been unable to locate crews and place them on planes. Some Delta crew members are also unable to get hotel rooms and are sleeping at airports. And airport employees are contending with angry, frustrated customers who don’t understand why their flights are being canceled when crew members are available. Jeremy and Kaylee Jones were married on Saturday and left Spokane, Washington Monday for their honeymoon, they told CNN. Five guests weren’t able to attend the wedding due to flight issues. They arrived in Atlanta early Tuesday morning for a connecting flight from Atlanta to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. There were no issues with the flights until they landed in Atlanta this morning and saw the flight to St. Lucia was cancelled due to a lack of crew. The next Delta flight to St. Lucia is not until Friday, so they are canceling their honeymoon. The only other option is to be re-routed to other airports, which they believe will have the same problem, and they still don’t have their luggage. “Currently I’m pretty sour,” Jeremy Jones said. “I get that things happen. This is just shocking to me that a multi-billion dollar corporation would struggle this much to get the ball rolling again.” “I’m thinking the domino effect of flight cancellations are causing people to be stuck here for 5 days. I have no confidence in getting anywhere at this point.” This week, Delta remained in the dark about the whereabouts of its crew members. Crew members who logged on to the company’s computer system to sign up for flights received prompts and questions that included: “Please enter below what airport code you are closest to,” “What is your current status?” and “Please describe your current location.” A person familiar with the airline’s operations allowed CNN to see screenshots of the prompts. Delta declined to comment on the questions it was asking crews. To help fix its staffing problems, Delta is offering crew members premium pay, as well as additional assurances they will be able to travel back to their homes at the end of their work period, according to the screen shots viewed by CNN. The premium pay and assurances would be in place through Friday, another sign the staffing problem may not be fixed for several more days. Delta also declined to comment on these offers to crew members. But a letter from the chair of Delta’s pilot’s union obtained by CNN said that pilots were once again facing the same “unacceptable obstacles” they usually face when the airline has a problem, namely, the “inability to contact the company in any capacity and the feeling that we have been abandoned in the system.” Costs at $163 million - and climbing The service meltdown will cost Delta, both in terms of its reputation and in dollar costs. The meltdown has already cost the most profitable US airline about $163 million through Monday, according to an estimate from Savanthi Syth, airline analyst for Raymond James. That estimate comes from lost revenue and is likely to climb once additional pay for staff and reimbursements for customers are added in. Although the problems Tuesday are not as bad as they had been the last four days, the additional flight cancellations will add to those losses. Delta has prided itself on its on-time performance and customer service. Earlier this month its bragged in its earnings report that it achieved industry-best completion factor and on-time performance, and operated 39 cancellation-free, brand-perfect days. This meltdown is doing some damage to that reputation that will take time to repair. After a similar service meltdown at Southwest Airlines during the year-end holiday travel period in 2022, the airline canceled nearly 17,000 flights, or about half of its schedule, stranding more than 2 million passengers over an 10-day period. That cost it nearly $1.2 billion between the fourth quarter of that year and the first two months of 2023. In addition to customer compensation, the airline faced additional labor costs and lost revenue that continued into February. In addition it was hit with a $140 million fine from the Department of Transportation. Delta’s service black eye could also cause it to lose some future bookings from frustrated customers. This past weekend was the busiest travel period of the summer with 90% of the seats booked. That has made it difficult for Delta to find other flights for those customers whose flights have been canceled. Even if Delta was operating all of its flights normally, it would take days to accommodate all its angry, stranded passengers. United Airlines was also hit hard by the computer problem, with more than 1,000 canceled flights, although it was back to near-normal operations on Monday with only 69 cancellations for its mainline operations. In a note to staff CEO Scott Kirby said that the airline’s 26,000 computers affected by the problem had all been fixed and its operations had been normal for the last 24 hours. He said some passengers had yet to be reunited with their baggage, and United is using FedEx to deliver the bags to some of them. At Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Delta’s headquarters and largest hub, thousands of pieces of luggage are lined up on the floors of baggage claim. The bags made it to the world’s busiest airport but, through delays and cancellations, their owners either have not yet arrived or arrived on a different plane. Delta employees from all different departments and roles across the company were supplementing efforts to help passengers who made it to Hartsfield to find their bags. Arthur Ginolfi, who had flown into Atlanta for a Global Business Travel Association convention after two trips to the airport in Philadelphia over the weekend, was one of those picking up a bag that had arrived on a different flight than he did. “This is the worst experience I’ve ever had in my 35 years of business travel,” he said. “There are lines that were unacceptable, there were people that were frustrated. I saw and I heard a lot of sad stories.” He said he thinks Delta needs to be offering more compensation than he’s gotten from the airline so far. “I had to pay for parking for 12 hours, I had to pay for food, I had to pay for tolls,” he said. “I deserve more pros than a $24 gift card.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/23/business/delta-flight-cancellations/index.html Virgin Atlantic orders seven additional A330neo aircraft to complete fleet transformation Farnborough, United Kingdom, 23 July 2024 – Virgin Atlantic has placed a firm order for seven A330neo aircraft as part of its wider fleet transformation. The agreement takes Virgin Atlantic’s commitment for the A330neo to 19 aircraft in total, providing improved economics. The order was announced during the Farnborough Airshow onboard Virgin Atlantic’s A330neo, named ‘Ruby Rebel’, and registered as GB-VSRB after founder Sir Richard Branson, to celebrate the airline's 40th anniversary. Shai Weiss, CEO, Virgin Atlantic said, “Today, we complete our multi-billion-dollar fleet transformation, with the purchase of seven additional A330-900s, which we know our customers and our people love to fly. Flying the youngest fleet is the most readily available and significant lever towards decarbonising long-haul aviation and we are proud to already operate one of the youngest and most fuel and carbon efficient fleets across the Atlantic.” “Our special partnership with Airbus began with the arrival of ‘Lady in Red’ in 1993, with our most recent arrival, ‘Ruby Rebel’, arriving to mark our 40th birthday this year. Virgin Atlantic has flown more than 60 Airbus tails in the last three decades. While not first to the party, they’ve been our main dance partner, making our customers smile ever since.” Airbus Chief Executive Officer, Commercial Aircraft, Christian Scherer said, “We are grateful for Virgin Atlantic’s decision to expand its A330neo fleet as part of its strategy to have the youngest fleet across the Atlantic. The A330neo not only delivers unbeatable operational seat mile cost and an exceptional passenger experience, it also greatly enhances Virgin Atlantic’s fleet efficiency and contributes to their sustainability journey. We look forward to continuing this smooth and successful collaboration for many years to come." The A330neo features the award-winning Airspace cabin, which offers passengers a unique passenger experience, high level of comfort, ambience, and design. This includes more individual space, enlarged overhead bins, a new lighting system and access to the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems. Powered by the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330-900 is capable of flying 7,200 nm / 13,300 km non-stop. At the end of June 2024, the A330 Family had accumulated 1,798 firm orders from more than 130 customers worldwide, including 319 A330neo from 30 customers. As with all Airbus aircraft, the A330 family is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The manufacturer is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030. https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-07-virgin-atlantic-orders-seven-additional-a330neo-aircraft-to China Drops Russia from Joint Passenger Aircraft Project Media noticed that the mock-up of the C929 long-range wide-body airliner displayed at the Farnborough International Air Show by COMAC had dropped visible references to Russia’s involvement. The Chinese aircraft manufacturing corporation COMAC displayed a model of its proposed C929 airliner at the Farnborough International Air Show, which opened on July 22. Development of the 280-seat, long-range wide-body aircraft began around 10 years ago as a joint venture between Russia and China. The agreement was signed between Russia’s United Aircraft Company (UAC) and COMAC during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 2014 visit to China. It was seen as an attempt to both reduce Moscow’s reliance on Western aircraft and to position the companies as global competitors to Boeing and Airbus. Although there has been no official confirmation that Russia has been discarded, media outlets noticed no mention of Russia in the project brochures and the “R” in the original model designation C [China] R [Russia] 929 had been removed. The BBC cited an anonymous representative of the Chinese company who confirmed COMAC was now working on the project alone. The partnership was beset with problems almost from the beginning. There was disagreement with how income from sales of the aircraft would be split, with China refusing to let Russia obtain any revenue from the sale of the aircraft in China. Following the introduction of Western sanctions after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, COMAC replaced nearly all Russian components with German and US substitutes and began working with Rolls-Royce and General Electric in engine development. Nevertheless, Russia continued to put a brave face on the aircraft program. While former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov admitted in 2022 that Russian participation in the project had decreased, the then head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that Russia might withdraw as a partner but would continue to supply components. As previously reported, Russia’s attempts to replace its Western aviation with 1,000 domestically manufactured aircraft by 2030 looks less and less likely to happen. Its commercial airlines are desperate for the C929 with its 12,000-kilometer range, or a similar airliner. The only aircraft Russia has that comes anywhere near that capability is the Ilyushin Il-96 which came into service in 1992, and for which Russia struggles to maintain along with most of its current commercial aircraft fleet. The C(R) 929 was Russia’s first attempt to develop a wide-body aircraft since the Soviet era, and that now seems to be over despite all the claims of a “no limits” partnership between Moscow and Beijing. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/36280 CALENDAR OF EVENTS • Airborne Public Safety Association, Inc.
