United Airlines Boeing wide body 777-200 aircraft as seen during take off and flying phase, passing in front of the air traffic control tower while the plane is departing from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport AMS towards Houston IAH in the United States of America as flight UA21. The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday that it is proposing a more than $1.1 million penalty against United Airlines for allegedly failing to perform required fire-system safety checks on its Boeing 777s. United didn't immediately comment. Removal of the check resulted in United's failure to perform the required check and the operation of aircraft that did not meet airworthiness requirement," the FAA said in a statement. United had 96 Boeing 777s as of the end of 2021, making up about 11% of its total fleet, according to a securities filing.

☆ American Airlines pilots raise concerns over new cockpit protocols
  + stars: | 2023-01-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Jan 6 (Reuters) - The union representing 15,000 American Airlines (AAL.O) pilots has voiced concerns regarding the new cockpit protocols enforced by the airline, without adequate training. The carrier on Tuesday implemented new procedures for cockpit communications during critical events such as low visibility landings, according to the union. "The operational changes that management is attempting to implement without fulsome training alters how pilots communicate, coordinate, and execute flight safety duties at some of the most high-threat times of flight," Allied Pilots Association (APA) said in a post on Monday. "This attempt to train by bulletin, while ignoring serious safety concerns and well-established best practices, runs the risk of dramatically eroding margins of safety," it added.

Nov 4 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Friday its subsidiary Jeppesen was impacted by a cyber incident which affected certain flight planning products and services. Jeppesen, which provides analytical services to air carriers, said on its website it was experiencing technical issues with some products, services and communication channels and was working to restore functionality as soon as possible. "There has been some flight planning disruption, but at this time we have no reason to believe that this incident poses a threat to aircraft or flight safety," Boeing said in an email statement. The news comes after Boeing shared plans at an investor meeting in Seattle on Wednesday to accelerate its turnaround with a ramp-up in jet deliveries and higher free cash flow.

☆ NASA tries fueling moon rocket in test, but leak reoccurs
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +2 min
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s new moon rocket sprouted another fuel leak Wednesday as engineers tested the plumbing ahead of a launch attempt as early as next week. Engineers halted the flow and warmed the lines in hopes of plugging the leak, and proceeded with the test. Wednesday’s leak came close to the limit, but the launch team managed to get the leak down to acceptable levels as the test continued. Besides replacing seals, NASA altered the fueling process, easing more slowly into the loading of the super-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen. NASA’s Space Launch System rocket is more powerful than the Saturn V rocket that sent Apollo astronauts to the moon during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

REUTERS/Marina Lystseva/File PhotoApril 14 (Reuters) - Russia has pledged 19.5 billion roubles ($238 million) in state support for airlines to refund passengers flying on routes that have been cancelled due to sanctions, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Thursday. "The subsidies will be used to refund passengers the cost of tickets on routes that have been cancelled due to external restrictions, which will save carriers their own working capital, which means there will be financial resources to ensure flight safety," Mishustin said.

☆ The US Air Force is getting new tech that will make it easier for pilots to pee in flight
  + stars: | 2021-12-01 | by ( Ryan Pickrell | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The US Air Force is getting new technology that will make it easier for its fighter pilots, especially female pilots, to urinate in flight, potentially alleviating a longstanding problem for pilots needing to answer nature's call in a cramped cockpit. The Air Force will be receiving the Omni Gen. 3 Skydrate in-flight bladder-relief device in the near future, Air Combat Command announced in a press statement Wednesday. "The Air Force recognized that current devices were not optimized for long-duration sorties, and as a result, aircrew were routinely dehydrating themselves to delay the need for bladder relief," ACC explained. This was a big problem for pilots, particularly female pilots, who the Air Force said previously would "resort to 'tactical dehydration' to avoid the difficulties and potential dangers of having to relieve themselves inflight." The first shipments of the new Skydrate system will arrive early this month, and aircrews will have access to them by spring of next year.
